DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990), better known by his stage name Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur.
In September 2007, his single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was initially self-published on the internet, and it later became a number-one hit in the United States for seven non-consecutive weeks starting in September 2007. On August 17 Way was listed at #18 on the Forbes list of Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2010 earning $7 million for that year.
Way has currently released three studio albums and one independent album: his debut studio album Souljaboytellem.com (2007) was certified platinum by the RIAA. However, his next two albums, iSouljaBoyTellem (2008) and The DeAndre Way (2010) did not match the commercial success of his debut, the latter only selling 100,000 copies, despite the success of several singles across both albums, such as "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" and "Turn My Swag On" (iSouljaBoyTellem) and "Pretty Boy Swag" (The DeAndre Way).
All I wanted was you
All I need was for you to look up and see the man I was trying to be
I bought you a diamond ring
Roses and all of your favourite things
But he just to stay and you thought my heart and soul
Was locked away
I listened to James Blunt
I listened to Daniel Powter
I listened to Jet
I listend to Maroon 5
But never could I find what I found in you
Cos your on my mind
Everyday like chasing my run down the cliff
I'll jump Mt.Everest just to get you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted to do was love you
Give you everything you want to make you happy
I married you and had a child
It wasn't mine but you said it was and you lied
But I forgave you and then you ran away and hide
Cos your on my mind
Everyday like chasing my run down the cliff
I'll jump Mt.Everest just to get you
Cos your on my mind
Everyday like chasing my run down the cliff
