Once In A While - Akon
I can see it
It's funny man
Cause it's like
it's not going nowhere
And you gon' see it
wherever there's struggle

I see my pain in
your eyes man
So I know you're feelin' me
It's that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
I've seen it
In me
Cause everyday
I can't help but see it
People ain't satisfied
And you're hatin'
your 9 to 5
Everybody wanna
live another life
But every goal or
mountain you climb
Not to better your day
That do leave room
for people to say
I guess you're livin'
better now
Share a little of that
cheddar now
Cause I remember days
back when
A brother was hustlin
and robbin' too
I done tossed up a letter now
On a whole nother level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people
doin' the same
And gettin' money too
Once in awhile
I couldn't look at you
Once in awhile
and see the
twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that
you never wanna struggle
no more
Once in awhile
I couldn't look at you
see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever
wanna cry no more
Cause everytime you ask me
I'm grindin'
It shouldn't have
to be that way
You shouldn't have
to pay my way
I shouldn't have to want
for a brighter day
Got a little problem
on the way
Bounty hunters checkin'
state to state
Child support
lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you
ain't never paid
Oh
Is what you'll be askin'
God please hold it
down for me
Don't let satan get
ahold of me
I'm tryin' to tell you
it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse
to my brother
Muhammad thank
God he recovered
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
Once in awhile
and see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that you
never wanna struggle no more
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
and see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever wanna
cry no more
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
I see your pain now
I see your pain now
I can feel you strain now
And I can see you cryin'
And inside you're dyin
We're all the same now
But you got to make change now
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever
struggle no more
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever wanna
cry no more
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever
struggle no more
Once in awhile
I choose look at you
see the twinkle
in your eyes
And I can see that
you don't ever wanna
cry no more
