Signed By Akon by UC Brigante Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's take it back to 09
When I tried to get signed, by Akon
With my skill and age combined
I was destined to shine
CD in my hand, I was destined to fly
I was 14 or something
Thought if I get him to listen
I might leave with something
Wanted that konvict chain on my neck oh
Swore my life won't be the same when he left no
So I waited, 5 hours at the airport patient, pacing
Up and down the terminal, wishing i knew where to go
My feet aching, then I saw familiar faces
Go and make it now
[Chorus]
So why are you giving up?
Don't you know its tough love
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
Will I give up? no way
I'll get my shot, one day
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
[Verse 2]
Cause I was his biggest fan
Plus he a business man
Plus he will my vision and business plan
I know, that I was shooting for the star
But what does that mean?
Everything's in the hands of God
Plus I deserve it
And I was working
And I was hurting
When I saw him & he just ignored me
Ran up to him grabbed his arm and he walked past
Didn't even look back
Can't even believe that
I gave my cd to his piano man and then
Watched him jump into that black van
I'm talking to myself like
[Chorus]
So why are you giving up?
Don't you know its tough love
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
Will I give up? no way
I'll get my shot, one day
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
[Verse 3]
5 years later and I'm chasing the same dreams
I'm still trying to get on
5 years later I was bout to do the same thing
Until he cancelled the tour
Its inevitable
One day I'll get on
I've waited so long can wait a lil bit more
I'm letting you know
I've got so many songs that are hits that I wrote
Cause I know what they want
Whenever I'm feeling lost I remind myself
If I don't get signed, Imma sign myself
Cause I can't give up on this dream
You'll never lose with me on your team
[Chorus]
So why are you giving up?
Don't you know its tough love
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
Will I give up? no way
I'll get my shot, one day
We all have dreams and mine was
To get signed by Akon
