Lyrics

Alone

[Intro: K'naan]

Guitar!

Kick!

[Verse 1: K'naan]]

Slumdog millionaire

The underdog sign when nobody can

Big shows, sick flows

I'm on the road

That's j-j-just how it goes

I think big, I act high

I chop it up in the streets like crack rock

[Hook 1: K'naan]

Got lots of money

But I don't got everything

Got lots of honeys

But I don't got me a queen

Feel like a champ

But I don't got me a ring

Nah mean, nah mean

Yup (the sun goes up)

Yup (the sun goes down)

Yup (and I'm always alone]

Yup (no matter who's around)

[Hook]

The sun goes up (yup)

The sun goes down (yup)

And I'm always alone (yup)

No matter who's around

[Verse 2: will.i.am]]

The fast life, the fast cars

I spend my time with them honeys at the bar

Bank roll, credit cards

Up in the club the DJ know just who I are

A big deal, a big star

Riding big wheels, uh huh!

[Hook 2: will.i.am]

Got lots of money

But I don't got everything

Got lots of honeys

But I don't got me a queen

Buy lots of diamonds

But I don't got me a ring

Nah mean, nah mean

[Hook]

The sun goes up (yup)

The sun goes down (yup)

And I'm always alone (yup)

No matter who's around (yup)

It may be hard to tell (yup)

By looking at my face (yup)

[?] from the party (yup)

And everything will stay (yup)

[Bridge: will.i.am]]

(Yup) Got lots of money

But I don't got everything (yup)

(Yup) Got lots of money

But I don't got everything (yup)

Nah mean, nah mean

(Yup) Got lots of money

(The sun goes up)

But I don't got everything (yup)

(The sun goes down)

(Yup) Got lots of money

(And I'm always alone)

But I don't got everything (yup)

(No matter who's around)

Nah mean, nah mean

[Hook]

The sun goes up (yup)

The sun goes down (yup)

And I'm always alone (yup)

No matter who's around (yup)

It may be hard to tell (yup)

By looking at my face (yup)

[?] from the party (yup)

And everything, and everything, and everything will stay (yup)
