(Verse 1) (Akon) See I was born poor like many men who didn't have notin Came to America trying to make sometin' outta sometin' See we Africans we love huntin' Found my way up to da top like it wasn't nothing And hooked up wit some Puerto Ricans up in Jersey We use to be call laa baw and pot see Had a lot after sometin after union cityyyy In a couple of projects in NYC
(Cham) I remember those days when Hell was my home When Me and Mama bed was a big piece a foam An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb When Mama gone a work me go street go roam I remember when Danny dem tek me snow cone An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
(Akon) But dats no betta than to play around me And knew I kept the AK displayed around me And I moved out to da eight to find more cheese And I found out Cars make more dan Weeed
