[Verse 1]
What makes you want to live again
Goodbye my enemies, hello my friends
And what would make you forgive the man
Who was once your enemy but now your friend

The sunshine is waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow
The point of no return, my life's changing

For the better
The better (x4)

[Chorus]
Cause now I know better
So, thanks to my past
Oh, baby now it's all better
Let's make this shit last
Oh, yes, cause now I know better
So, thanks to my past
Oh, yes, I know there nothing better than now [?]

[Verse 2]
Hello pretenders, hello my friends
Hello to those who didn't want us to win
Hello backstabber and your cheap grin
There's more just like you that's listening

The sunshine is waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow
The point of no return, my life's changing

For the better
The better (x4)

[Chorus x2]

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.
