August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending. For years, a young August endured a home life plagued by drugs and violence. At just 14,… more »

When was the last time I told you how, pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire, raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty

Lord knows, only the Lord knows
How you been through so much but you keep it so cold
And hold it on the side, you don't let a thing go
I know that you seen it all but you still never told
Every once in a while, I wonder what's behind your smile
And the days I seen your life and do you wish that you could cry
I don't know who told you, what you goin' through, you gotta hide
I know you don't know me well and I'm someone you can confide in

Better believe it
I could be keepin' your secrets
Give you the strength when you're weakest
Picture it, girl it can be us
Feet in the sand at the beach
You say you got a man, don't believe you
How could he ever mistreat you?
Girl I love all of your features

When was the last time I told you how, pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire, raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty

When the world seemed ugly, things got rough
Girl you got knocked down but you got back up
I can feel your pain, 'cause I been there to
When you can't let down, who depend on you?
You need somebody that you can combine with
Someone you can grind with
I need somebody that I can get old with
Someone I can grow with
No 'cause one plus one, it makes us two
That's what comes to mind when I think of you

Better believe it (baby you better believe it)
I could be keepin' your secrets (I could be keepin' your secrets)
Give you the strength when you're weakest (give you strength when you weak)
Picture it, girl it can be us (be us)
Feet in the sand at the beach (hidden, the sand at the beach)
You say you got a man, don't believe you
How could he ever mistreat you? (How could he ever)
Girl I love all of your features (features)

When was the last time I told you how, pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire (damn), raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty (so pretty)
