[Intro]
You know
Cheah
It's Akon, man, my man P
It's the Magic City, baby
Yo, I think we got one on this one
So when them haters
Wanna scream my name? (Let them keep on callin')
And they wasn't support us before
And then they wanna scream now? (Let them keep on callin')
We gon' just let them keep on callin', baby
Just keep callin' (So keep on callin')
And for our supporters, y'all know you can just keep callin'
As long as you want (Keep on callin')
[Verse 1]
I used to be up on the corner all-day
Tryna figure out what's gon' get me out there
Dope dealin' and huggin' the block
I done found out that ain't gon' get me nowhere
Used to keep a 9 milli for protection
Just in case a n***a wanna take my bread
Then the voice came down from the sky and said
Akon, use your head
I had to re-evaluate my thoughts
And think about what got me this far (This far)
Had to keep a strong faith and believin'
Know one day I'd be a star (A star)
But I knew that it wouldn't come easy (Come easy)
Seen a whole lotta hate and believe me (Believe me)
Despite all the bullshit, we had to still work hard
To get to where we are
[Chorus]
So when you hear them callin' out
Akon, let them keep on callin'
When you hear the world callin' out
P-Money, let them keep on callin'
'Cause we went through hell and back
To get here, so keep on callin'
Let me hear ya now, let me hear ya now
Let me hear ya just keep on callin'
[Verse 2]
Senegal West Africa
To New Zealand (New Zealand)
Blessed to have the gift to make music
With meaning (With meaning)
'Cause I never thought I'd come this far (Ooh yeah)
With a mansion and a fancy car (Ooh yeah)
Never thought success would come this quick
In the beginning (But I seen it)
And all along, I'm sitting there thinking it's
Harder when you came from the hood (Came from the hood)
When all I had to do was put my mind to it
And realise that it was all good (It was all good)
'Cause once I got rid of what held me down
Best believe I wasn't turning back (Turning back)
I had to keep on moving and to keep on grooving
Right here on this P-Money track, and so
[Chorus]
So when you hear them callin' out
Akon, let them keep on callin'
When you hear the world callin' out
P-Money, let them keep on callin'
'Cause we went through hell and back
To get here, so keep on callin'
Let me hear ya now, let me hear ya now
Let me hear ya just keep on callin'
[Bridge]
Keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
Just keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
Just keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
Just keep on callin'
Keep on callin'
[Chorus]
So when you hear them callin' out
Akon, let them keep on callin'
When you hear the world callin' out
P-Money, let them keep on callin'
'Cause we went through hell and back
To get here, so keep on callin'
Let me hear ya now, let me hear ya now
Let me hear ya just keep on callin'
