N Dey Say lyrics

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go

[Refrain:]

Ah ah ah ...

Oh, and they say "oh"

Hold up, stop, ma

Let me get a look at ya

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, that long?

How the hell'd he get time like that?

Three strikes with possession?

Aw, 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 rising

And you gotta stay strong for the kids in they eyes

And 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, but keep your head up

But you gon' 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'll only feed the hunger, for real

[Refrain:]

Ah ah ah ...

Oh, and they say "oh"

Oh

Ah ah ah...

Oh, and they say "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 the brother his name

Where he was from, got kids, man and what's they age?

He kinda stuttered for a second, he kinda looked surprised

That anyone would even take an interest in his life

He said, "Young brother, dem the only words I done heard in the last year

That wasn't low or get the fuck away from here"

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 a title fight and this might be his last round

Sometimes the easiest things we take for granted until they gone

To realize we even had it, for real

[Refrain:]

Ah ah ah ...

Oh, and they say "oh"

Oh

Ah ah ah...

Oh, and they say "oh"

I used to think that life had a plan for me

Until I realized, 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

Than in any natural disaster, disease or gang war

Before guns there was swords and they was killing each other

Ain't much changed since the days

We still killing each other

Killing our brothers while another mother cries for help

Man, we need to help a brother find himself

Feed him, life, 1-2-3

Hey, that's something every brother should see and that's f'real

[Refrain:]

Ah ah ah ...

Oh, and they say "oh"

Oh

Ah ah ah...

Oh, and they say "oh"

Ah ah ah ...
