Once In A While (Explicit)

作曲 : Aliaune "Akon" Thiam/B. Boulai/Skip Prokop
I can see it
It's funny man
'Cuz it's like it's not going nowhere
And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle, kna' mean?
(Once a while I could look at you)
I see my pain in yo' eyes man
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
So I know you're feelin' me
It's that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
I've seen it
In me
'Cuz everybody I can't help but see it
People ain't satisfied
And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
Everybody wanna live another life
But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
Not to better your days
All that would do is leave room for people to say
"I guess you're livin' better now “
Share a little of that cheddar now"
'Cuz I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin' and robbin' too
I done tossed up the Beretta now
On a whole 'nother level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people doin' the same and get money too
(Once a while I could look at you)
Ohh once in a while
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
Struggle no more
(Once a while I could look at you)
Ooh yeah
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
'Cuz every time you ask me, I'm grindin'
It shouldn't have to be that way
You shouldn't have to pay my way
I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
Got a little little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
Oh what must I do
that's what you'll be askin'
God please hold it down for me
Don't let Satan get ahold of me
I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
Muhammad thank God he recovered, yeah
(Once a while I could look at you)
Once in a while I choose
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
(Once a while I could look at you)
Look in your eyes
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
(Once a while I could look at you)
'Cuz I see your pain now (Ooh yeah)
'Cuz I see your pain now (Ooh yeah)
I can feel your strain now
And I see you cryin'
And inside you're dyin'
We're no longer the same now
('cuz you got to, gotta maintain)
But you got to maintain (Once a while I could look at you)
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
(Once a while I could look at you) Ohh, Ohh
(And see the twinkle in your eyes) Yeah
I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
(Once a while I could look at you) Don't wanna cry not more
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
(Once a while I could look at you) Struggle no more
(And see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
