[Intro: Akong Bonu] What up, Man y'all already know who it is Man one of my biggest pet peeves is when people see my name on a list, and then they always say something like [Verse 1:] Hold up, who's this Akon dude? (b**h!) Let me kick this n***a in the throat, it's Akong foo Yes I'm back again, dark fat African n***as claim they real when they ain't realer than a mannequin Fake a** posers, brown a** nosers Can't forget that b**h that did me colder than her shoulder Coming for all of yall like this is red rover Got kicked out of college cause they said I was a loafer But homie where they bread at? burning in the toaster Spend it 'fore I get it, it's American n***a culture Now I'm saving up so i can spend it on some couture By any means procure my dreams, fail? no sir [Verse 2:] So how am i gonna do this? show these people what something new is? Gotta let them know who Akong Bonu is Yea, the start of this April Fool biz Started when I hung out with too cool for school kids And school became such a nuisance I just wanted to hang with my n***as like nooses It was draining all my juices But it was good for my brain's nutrition To help me attain fruition My mom was helping with my tuition And if i quit I'd hear true b**hin' Coming from her she'd be dumb hurt Question my worth when I hurt Comfort So mama please forgive me, If i don't finish you'll be sh**ty baby boy been on his own path since he stopped s**ing on your titty My grind's on the nitty gritty, been different since i was itty bitty I was too black for the white kids and too white for the black kids My life is a movie, diversifying the roles I be acting Cause I'm a young hero, born on April 1 0 Has the nerve to have a dream of making over 100,000,000 Etcetera, flows I got a plethora These n***as tryna measure ya (f*ggots) But I'm on a pedestal where the p**y tryna pleasure ya And your peers are tryna pressure ya So picking through my mind all you ever find is diamonds Tend to drop gems every time I get my rhyme on n***as feed you lies, so all you hear is rhinestones And their sh** sound messy, you can tell they're getting their lying on [Verse 3:] I'm my own North Star, better yet my guiding light Don't have time to be tempted by the feeling they call freight So catching all my dreams is the only thing in sight Might seem improbable but i ain't giving up without a fight So you can knock me down 8 times, I'll stand up 9 Still thinking up great rhymes, not in my prime No need for grape vines, cause i don't wine Not even the darkest cloud can stop my shine, n***a
