Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Let's go (Ha-haha-ha-ha) Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh Hold up, stop now, let me get a look 'cha Damn girl i aint seen u since prom Come to think about it cant believe it's been that long I heard your man locked down now How long he gone? oh, dat long How the hell he get time like that 3 strikes for possesion aww he ain't coming back He left you with two kids and bills all around Plus you found out he had another chick cross town It's always the darkest right before the sun rises And you gotta stay strong for the kids in they eyes'n Please dont despise and go against all brothers And have a hatred in your heart and take it out on another I hate to sound 2pac-ish li'l mama keep your head up But your gonna make it i promise you keep your head up And that that dont kill you only makes you stronger And the will to succeed only feed the hunger Fo' reel (fo' reel, fo' reel) (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh I was at the gas station when a man walked past With a sign...'will work for food, clothes or cash' And he asked if he could pump my gas so i let him Clean the windsheild and throw out the trash so i let him Hey, i even asked a brother his name Where he was from, got kids man and what's they ages He kinda stared for a second, he kinda looked suprised That anyone would even take an interest in his life He said, "young brother them the only words i've heard in the last year Wasn't no or get the fuck away from herrrr" How could something so simple as general conversation Mean much more than general conversation Hey you could tell life had beaten him down Like he was in the title fight and this might be his last round Sometimes the easiest things we take for granted Until they gone then realized we even had it Fo' real (fo' real, fo' real) (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Yeah, hey Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Yeah, hey Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh I used to think that life had a plan for me Until i realized life had to be planned by me See that's the key i only deal wit what i can see Cuz over history, mystery brought us nothin but misery Man more people done died in the name of the Lord Then in any natural disaster, disease or gang wars Before guns they was swords and they was killin each other And what's changed to this day still killin each other Killin a brother while another mother cries for help Man, we need to help a brother find himself Feed 'em light 1, 2, 3 Hey that's somethin every brother should see And thats fo' real, And thats fo' real, And thats fo' real (Ha-haha-ha-ha) Yeah, hey, Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh (Ha-haha-ha-ha) Hey Ohhhhh N Dey Say Ohhhhhh oh ohhhh (Ha-haha-ha-ha
