Cry out of Joy by Akon

There is a song named " Cry out of Joy."

And it was written by Akon.



Part of its lyrics are as follows:





You will, be missed, by all your fans

I clenched, my fists, but this' so hard to withstand

If I had the power to change one thing, It'a bring you back today

But life's not promissed and that won't change, im'a meet you there some day

In this lifetime I wanna thank you, for showing me the man in the mirror

In this lifetime I wanna thank you, you motivated the whole world to deliver






Could somebody tell me what "it'a" and "im'a" mean?

Not really-- it's a combination of extreme reduction in street slang and an adjustment to maintain the song's meter.
