Akon -Keep You Much Longer
Title: Keep You Much Longer
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say “Hi”
Wish I could jus Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
The Tables have Turned
And I’ve Finally Learned
That this is Makin Up for Every Day I was Gone
And that’s Why I’m Concerned
But Now it’s Confirmed
That You Spread Your Wings and Learned to Fly All Alone
Darkness in the Night
I’ll Find that Light for You
As Long as I got Eyes
I’ll have a Sight for You
Long as I am Alive Baby I’d Die for You
I Wanna Be With You
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say “Hi”
Wish I could jus Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
You’re Always On My Mind
While I’m Racin
While I’m Paper Chasin
You Were There when I said One Day I’d Get Up Out that basement
Playin as My Agent
For You, There’s No Replacement
You Will Always Be My Girl
and You can Hold Me on that Statement
Darkness in the Night
I’ll Find that Light for You
As Long as I got Eyes
I’ll have a Sight for You
Long as I am Alive Baby I’d Die for You
Wanna Be With You
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say “Hi”
Wish I could jus Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
Baby I Know You
And How We Do
Doin Exactly What I Taught You
Gotta Get that Money First before You Come Spend that Precious Time with Your Boo
And I know I gotta just Take It
Even though it’s Drivin Me Crazy
Always Wanted to See My Girl Make It
Ooh-Yeah
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
(Wish I Could Keep You So Much Longer)
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say “Hi”
Wish I could jus Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
(Wish I Could Keep You Baby…
I Just Wanna Keep You Longer)
源于对父亲的崇拜，akon对音乐的热爱是根深蒂固的，最终他还是走上了音乐的路。akon一开始投入数种打击乐器的演奏，随后还是爱上了嘻哈音乐，虽然起初他对此颇不以为然，“我第一次听到嘻哈音乐的时候，我觉得那真是垃圾～～，只因为我不了解人们为什么要用说的方式来诠释音乐。但当我开始长大，有了点生活体验、再仔细听那些歌词之后，我发现我的生活与那些饶舌者所唱念的歌词有了印证，我可以感同身受。”
嘻哈进入了他的生命，akon的音乐之途从此不可限量，他开始专注于创作、制作他自己的音乐。“Show Out”就是一首关于嘻哈如何影响他的歌曲，在疏落却重拍的节奏里唱着"Don't tempt me/'Cuz I'm close to the edge/I'm trying not to lose my head"，巧妙地融合了原始的歌词，这首歌在保留原味的同时也向过往的嘻哈先锋表达敬意。
