You know?
Chea
It's Akon, man, my man P
It's the Magic City, baby
Yo, I think we got one on this one
So when them haters wanna scream our name
(Let them keep on callin')
And they wasn't supportin' us before and then they wanna scream now
(Let them keep on callin')
We gon' just let them keep on callin', baby, just keep callin'
(So keep on callin')
And for our supporters, y'all know y'all
Can just keep callin' as long as you want
(Keep on callin')
I used to be up on the corner all day
Tryna figure out what's gon' get me out there
Dope dealin' and huggin' the block
I done found out ain't gon' get me nowhere
Used to keep a nine milli for protection
Just in case a nigga wanna take my bread
Then the voice came down from the sky and said
"Akon, use your head"
I had to re-evaluate my thoughts and think
About what got me this far (This far)
Had to keep a strong faith and believe
And know one day I'd be a star (A star)
But I knew that it wouldn't come easy (Come easy)
Seen a whole lot of hatin', believe me (Believe me)
Despite all the bullshit, we had to still work hard
To get to where we are, so
When you hear them callin' out Akon
(Let them keep on callin')
When you hear the world callin' out P Money
(Let them keep on callin')
'Cause we went through hell and back to get here
(So keep on callin')
Let me hear you now, let me hear you now, let me hear you just
(Keep on callin')
Senegal, West Africa to New Zealand (New Zealand)
Blessed to have the gift to make music with meanin' (With meanin')
'Cause I never thought I'd come this far (Ooh, yeah)
With a mansion and a fancy car (Ooh, yeah)
Never thought success would come this quick in the beginnin'
(But I seen it)
And all along, I'm sittin' there thinkin' it's harder
When you came from the hood (Came from the hood)
But all I had to do was put my mind through it
And realize that it was all good (It was all good)
'Cause once I got rid of what held me down
Best believe I wasn't turnin' back (Turnin' back)
I had to keep on movin' and to keep on groovin'
Right here on this P Money track, and so
When you hear them callin' out Akon
(Let them keep on callin')
When you hear the world callin' out P Money
(Let them keep on callin')
'Cause we went through hell and back to get here
(So keep on callin')
Let me hear you now, let me hear you now, let me hear you just
(Keep on callin')
Keep on callin', keep on callin'
Just keep on callin', keep on callin'
Just keep on callin', keep on callin'
Just keep on callin', keep on callin'
When you hear them callin' out Akon
(Let them keep on callin')
When you hear the world callin' out P Money
(Let them keep on callin')
'Cause we went through hell and back to get here
(So keep on callin')
Let me hear you now, let me hear you now, let me hear you just
(Keep on callin')
