N Dey Say Lyrics by Nelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let’s go
Ha ha ha ha oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Ha ha ha ha oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Hold up stop now 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 dat long
How the hell he get time like that?
Three strikes with possesion, aww he ain’t comin’ 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 darkness right before the sun rises
And you gotta stay strong for the kids and they’re 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 Tupacish now momma but keep your head up
But you gon’ make it I promise it you keep your head up
And that, that don’t kill ya only makes you stronger
And the will to succeed will only feed the hunger, fo real
Hey oh oh oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Hey oh oh oh
N dey say oh, oh oh
I was at the gas station and a man walked past
With his 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 whats their ages
He kinda stuttered for a second and looked surprised
That anyone would even take a interest in his life
He say young brother you them the only words I done heard
In the last year that wasn’t only, get the fuck away from her
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 the title fight and this might be his last round
Sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
Until they gone, then realize we even had it fo real
Hey oh oh oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Ha ha ha ha oh
N dey say oh oh oh
I used to think that life had a plan for me
See that’s the key
I only deal with what i can see
Cause over history, mystery bought us nothing but misery
Man more people done died in the name of the Lord
Than in any natural disaster, disease of gang wars
Before guns there was swords
And they was killing each other
Ain’t much changed to this day
They still killing eachother
Killing a brother while another mother cries for help
Man, we need to help a brother find themself
Feed em light one, two, three
Hey, that’s something every brother should see and thats fo real
And thats fo real and that’s fo real
Hey oh oh oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Ha ha ha ha oh
N dey say oh oh oh
Ha ha ha ha oh
