[Verse 2]
Opportunity lies between these trees
Living a stressful life it ain’t my dream
Sipping an Espresso
The good life no more ghetto
Paparazzi want to take photos
Take as much as you want to
You know better
This the place I want to be

[Bridge]
Now you know better
This the place I want to be
If I won a lotto
Filthy rich don't wanna leave now
I never thought life would be so hard
It never got easy
But I thank God for this blessing, yeah

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
