[Intro - Timbaland - talking]
|
Oh!
|
You know what?
|
([Wyclef:] good good good)
|
I go through a lot, since my baby girl's not here
|
Life ain't been the same for me
|
Lately I miss you very much
|
I want you to hear my pain that I go through (go through...)
|
|
[Verse 1 - Timbaland + (Wyclef Jean)]
|
It's been three years (AH!), livin this fast life
|
I think on it, I know one day I won't have life
|
People don't know me over the time B
|
They don't wanna know me, they wanna know my G's
|
Le I quit, things ain't the same no more
|
But I'ma do my thing 'til there ain't no more (yeah)
|
I got a plan, I wonder how far I can go
|
I demand the best for myself, that's all I know
|
I, done seen the world become
|
Products of a revolution that we begun (yeah)
|
Make me wanna split a swisher, I need me one
|
They keep on copying what we done done
|
That's why I say..
|
|
[Break - Timbaland]
|
I know you like my shoes, cause you walk in my shoes
|
And would you be prepared to see (would ya?)
|
A life full of money and a life full of girls
|
But a heart that's really in deep (feel my pain)
|
A lot of people yellin ("we love ya Timbaland")
|
But I know y'all really in need (ooo)
|
I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner
|
But I gotta grab all these leaves
|
So I must..
|
|
[Chorus - Wyclef Jean]
|
Hey, Timbaland you gotta hold on (hold on)
|
But you got to be strong
|
Though the pain almost over
|
([Timbaland:] My pain almost over)
|
Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah
|
([Timbaland:] I can't quit yet), you can't quit
|
|
You gotta hold on, you got to be strong
|
([Timbaland:] Uh, my pain almost over)
|
Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah
|
|
[Verse 2 - Magoo + (Wyclef Jean)]
|
Pain, can't you see the pain in my eyes?
|
The lie behind my cries, don't you sympathize with me
|
You don't have to wonder when I come
|
You label me a bum, you fake it ain't suprisin me (yeah)
|
Funny how Oo got money, people come around
|
Soon as Oo fail, kick 'em to the ground (yeah)
|
Not just neighbors, the whole damn town
|
Own flesh and blood, said I was a clown
|
But as the world turns, my life can too
|
And like a gun kills, a knife can too (yeah)
|
I was stabbed thrice, how 'bout you?
|
Once by my mom, pops the other two
|
Child abuse kid, ward of the state
|
I know it was the past, but I just can't shake
|
How you had a kid, beat me like a slave
|
I was only three, how could I misbehave?
|
I didn't know better, you could teach me first
|
You said fuck that, then you beat me worse
|
It's pain in this verse, hard to go on (yeah)
|
Oo is a man, so I must hold on
|
|
[Break - Timbaland]
|
I know you like my shoes, cause you walk in my shoes
|
And would you be prepared to see (would ya?)
|
([Wyclef:] yeah)
|
A life full of money and a life full of girls
|
But a heart that's really in deep (feel my pain)
|
A lot of people yellin ("we love ya Maganoo")
|
But I know y'all really in need (ooo)
|
I don't know who's in my corner, don't know where is my corner
|
([Wyclef:] yeah)
|
But I gotta grab all these leaves, uh huh
|
So I must..
|
|
[Chorus - Wyclef Jean]
|
You gotta hold on (hold on)
|
But you got to be strong
|
Though the pain almost over
|
([Timbaland:] my pain almost over)
|
Look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah
|
([Timbaland:] I can't quit yet), can't quit
|
|
You gotta hold on (yeah)
|
You got to be strong (yeah)
|
([Timbaland:] my pain almost over)
|
Yeah, look towards the sky, there's only one Jehovah (yeah)
|
|
[Verse 3 - Wyclef Jean]
|
Yeah, yo, I seen Brooklyn turn into Crook-lyn
|
The youngn's they spend their life in central Crook-lyn (yeah)
|
I've seen prom queens, turn into prom fiends
|
Sometime I ask myself what happen to Dr. King's "Dream" (yeah)
|
I've seen best friends, turn to enemies
|
What made it sad, I had to sing at the eulogy
|
So hard for us to say goodbye
|
So I puff the lye and stay high (yeah)
|
The man you said was your fam in the park (yeah)
|
Saw your face spark when you found out he was a Narc (yeah)
|
Cause everybody wanna be Nino Brown
|
They wanna be Nino Brown, they wanna be Nino Brown (yeah)
|
And the girls they love the Nino Br |
