Mr. 305
I want everybody (Akon)
To get ready
Cause we about to shut down

Ooh, oh, oh
Can't tell me nothing now.
Baby I know how to fly (fly)
Ooh, oh, oh
Can't nothing hold me down
I'm going to touch the sky (sky)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can't nothin' hold me down
Can't nothin' hold me down
Can't nothin' hold me down
Now watch me, now watch me
Now watch me shut this thing down

Suve, suve, hasta la nube, balante ante, no mire patra
I hit the jack pot ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ching
Real chico's do real things on the road to the riches
Skip diamond rings
Moved up from the streets graduated hustla'
On his way to an entrepreneur
Undefeated Don shooter
Now baby save me from the game before it plays me
My life's a movie, call me Martin Scorsese
I can care less if you love me or hate me
Life's a bitch,
Now fuck you pay me

Suve, suve, hasta la nube, balante ante, no mire patra

Ooh, oh, oh
Can't tell me nothing now
Baby I know how to fly (fly)
Ooh, oh, oh
Can't nothing hold me down
I'm gonna touch the sky (sky)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lose my money honey, now pay me what you owe me
Mommis a hurricane you should see the way she blow it
I don't make it rain I speak that global warming
This ain't no biggy, ready to die number five there is no warning
Now baby save me from the game before it plays me
My life's a movie call me Martin Scorsese
I can care less if you love me or hate me
Life's a bitch,
Now fuck you pay me

Suve, suve, hasta la nube, balante ante, no mire patra, damn!

Ooh, oh, oh
Can't nothing hold me down
I'm gonna touch the sky (sky)
Ooh, oh, oh
Can't tell me nothin' now
Baby I know how to fly (fly)
Ooh, oh, oh
Can't nothing hold me down
I'm gonna touch the sky (sky)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Can't nothin' (nothin'), hold me down (Down)
Can't nothin' (nothin'), hold me down (Down)
Can't nothin' (nothin'), hold me down
Now watch me, now watch me
Now watch me shut this thing down

It's my life, I'm a do what I do




And if you don't like it, it's cool,
Fuck you
