- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- [Intro: Akon]
- I can see it
- It's funny man cause it's like it's not goin nowhere
- And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle, knahmean?
- {"Once in a while I could look at you"}
- I see my pain in yo' eyes man, so I know you feelin me
- {"And see the twinkle in your eyes"}
- It's that twinkle man, that sign of struggle
- I've seen it, in me
- [Akon]
- Cause everyday I can't help but see it
- That people ain't satisfied
- And you're hatin your 9 to 5
- And e'rybody wanna live another life
- But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
- Not to better your days
- But 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
- Cause I remember days back when
- a brother was hustlin and robbin too
- I done tossed the Baretta now
- On a whole 'nother level now
- Still I can't enjoy my fame
- Unless my people doin the same and gettin money too
- [Chorus: Akon]
- {"Once in 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 in 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
- [Akon]
- Cause 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?" is 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, I thank God he recovered, yeah
- [Chorus] w/ variations + ad libs
- {"Once in a while I could look at you"}
- [Akon]
- Cause I see your pain now (ooh yeah)
- Cause I see your pain now (ooh yeah)
- And I can feel you strain now (I can feel you straining)
- And I can see you cryin
- And inside you're dyin (inside you're dyin)
- You're no longer the same now (cause you got to)
- But you gotta maintain now (cause you got to maintain)
- [Chorus] - 2X w/ variations + ad libs
- [Akon]
- Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
- Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
- Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
