Akon Yeh
(Chorus Repeated 4 times)
Everybody i no around my way still there
And waiting for a miricle to pass them by
Most of them are known Drug Dealers and i know them well
That's the only way they know how to survive
Cause it the way to get by
Cause if i had a choice aside from this life god knows i'd try
To get away
Get By
