「ONCE IN A WHILE」の歌詞 Akon

INTRO：I can see it
It's funny man cause its like its not going no where
And you're gonna see it wherever they struggle
You know what I mean?
I see my pain in your eyes man so I know you feeling me
It's that twinkle man that sign of struggle
I've seen it in me

VERSE 1：Cause everyday I can't help but see it
The people ain't satisfied
And you're in your 9 to 5
And e'rybody wanna live another life
Ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
And not to better your days
All that would do is leave room for people to say

I guess you're living better now
Share a little bit of that Cheddar now
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustling and robbing too
I done tossed the baretta now
On a whole other level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people doing the same and getting money too

CHORUS：Once in a while I could look at you
See the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
Once in a while I could look at you
See the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

VERSE 2：Cause every time you ask me I'm grinding
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, little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checking state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid

Oh what must I do that's what you'll be asking
God please hold it down for me
Don't let Satan get the hold of me
I'm trying to tell you it done happened to me too
But it happened lot worse than my brother
And I had to thank God he recovered

CHORUS：Once in a while I could look at you
Cause I see your pain now
Cause I see your pain now
And I can feel you strain now
Can I can see you crying
And inside you're dying
You're no longer the same now
But you got to maintain now

REPEAT CHORUS (VAMP)
