N Dey Say - Radio Edit

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go
(Ha-haha-ha-ha) (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (Oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh)

Hold up, stop now, let me get a look'cha
Damn girl, I ain't seen you since prom
Come to think about it, can't 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?

Three strikes for possession, aww he ain't coming back
He left you with two kids and bills all around
Plus she 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 don't 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 lil' mama keep your head up
But you're gonna make it, I promise you keep your head up
And that, that don't kill you, only makes you stronger
And the will to succeed only feed the hunger
Fo' reel (fo' reel, fo' reel)

(Ha-haha-ha-ha)
Yeah, hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh) (ha-haha-ha-ha)
Hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh)

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 windshield 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 surprised
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 f— 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-haha-ha-ha)
Yeah, hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh) (ha-haha-ha-ha)
Hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh)

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 with what I can see
'Cause over history, mystery brought us nothing 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 killing each other
And what's changed to this day, still killing each other
Killing a brother while another mother cries for help
Man, we need to help a brother find himself
Feed 'em light one, two, three

Hey, that's something every brother should see
And that's fo' real
And that's fo' real
And that's fo' real

(Ha-haha-ha-ha)
Yeah, hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh) (ha-haha-ha-ha)
Hey (oh-oh, oh)
And they say (oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh) (ha-haha-ha-ha)
