[Intro: Akon] Who'd ever thought that I would see this day Where I would see my ghetto life fade away Cause I was lost, and couldn't find a way And now I look forward to everyday Welcome to my sunny day [Verse 1: Akon] Block don't stop, always stay hot No matter how the season scorch I still remember when they took me away Kept it on lock, then I got popped Realized I had to stop Then I took time to explore a better way Search high and low, so close, yet so far to go I just know there's a sunny day [Bridge: Akon] Who'd ever thought that I would see this day (I would see this day) Where I would see my ghetto life fade away (fade away) Cause I was lost, and couldn't find a way (find a way) And now I look forward to everyday (everyday) [Hook: Akon] Welcome to my sunny day, my sunny day Everyday, better day Welcome to my sunny day, my sunny day Everyday, better day Welcome to my sunny day [Verse 2: Wyclef Jean] I was born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto Saw my first 9 millimeter in the ghetto I got my first kiss in the ghetto Playin' hide go seek with the girls in the ghetto I wrote my first hit in the ghetto Yo Mona Lisa, can I get a date on Friday-ay-ay It's hard for me to let go, life in the ghetto The night they blast my cousin, whoa I had to find a way out the ghetto Picked up the guitar, started singin' in the ghetto Haters used to hate in the ghetto Said I would have never made it out the ghetto I guess that's why my cousin sold the yayo Even though Annie said the sun come out tomorrow But the ghetto stay dark I never thought I'd ever see the Billboard charts [Bridge] [Hook] [Verse 3: Akon] Been a long day, on my way To my holy place to pray Give thanks for every blessing given to me I know there's more to see, more to me No more living in misery Cause this how I vision life to be Search high and low, so close, yet so far to go I just know there's a sunny day [Bridge] [Hook]
