Intro

Chorus

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 every day

Welcome to my sunny day

Verse 1

Akon]:

Block don't stop, always stayed hot

No matter how the seasons got

I still remember when they took me away

Kept it on lock, then I got caught

Realized I had to stop

Then I took the time to explore a better way

Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go

I just know, there's a sunny day

Chorus

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 every day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Everyday

A better day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Every day

A 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

Got my first kiss in the ghetto

Played hide and go seek with the girls in the ghetto

Wrote my first hit in the ghetto

Yeah 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 it blessed my cousin (whoa-oa-oa)

Had to find a way out the ghetto

Picked up the guitar and started singing in the ghetto

Haters used to hate in the ghetto

Said I woulda never made it up out the ghetto

I guess that's why my cousins sold the yayo

Even though Annie said the sun come out tomorrow

But the ghetto stayed dark

I never thought I'd ever see the Billboard charts

Chorus

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 every day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Everyday

A better day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Every day

A better day

Welcome to my sunny day

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 theres more to see, more to me

No more living in misery

Cause this is how I envisioned life to be

Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go

I just know, there's a sunny day

Chorus

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 every day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Everyday

A better day

Welcome to my sunny day

My sunny day

Every day

A better day

Welcome to my sunny day
