Akon - Konvicted Lyrics






Shake Down

Konvict
Stand up
Salute
Devon Stephens
Up front is in the building
It's the Konvict album
Yeah
Y'all done f*cked up now
I got money now, nigga
I got enough money to free all the stars

He ain't lyin'
If you sellin', we ain't buyin'
If you got it on ya block
You best believe we supplyin'
From a key to a half a pound
A quarter to a dime
Tryin' to own a piece of Brooklyn
Like my nigga John Klein
Hey
Ya know me; I'm known to rock wit' it
Roll through your spot wit' it
Post up block wit' it
Hey, ya know me; I'm on the block with it
Non-stop wit' it
Violate and get popped wit' it
Hey
So I suggest ya keep steppin' on me
'Cause you will rarely find me
Without my weapon on me
Got the whole Konvict squad bettin' on me
And now the dots around the world
Are now connectin' on me

[Chorus]
Hey now
A bunch of gangstas strapped
So make a wish now
When they come wavin' them gats
Ya know to lay down
And give 'em all ya got
'Cause it's a shake down
Hey now
A bunch of gangstas strapped
So make a wish now
When they come wavin' them gats
Ya know to lay down
And give 'em all ya got
'Cause it's a shake down
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a shake down
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a shake down
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause it's a shake down
Do I make myself clear?
Oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey

A fleet of European cars in my driveway
Ferarri
My shorty ridin' shotgun
Bumpin' Sadie
Toes hangin' out the window
Loadin' up my army
You know I keep a bad bitch breathin' on me
Also known to have no business with no beefin' on me
And won't hesitate to cock it
When them people on me
So guess what
No exceptions to ya neither, homey
Ya know I got that African connection
Locked up in a facility correction
I'm a star, style changed
Hangin' like blow
Black royals in the front
We in the place now

[Chorus]

Now I'm a show ya how to break this down
He'll show ya how to shake this down
First nigga to create this sound
Can't believe it took a convict to shake this town
Dippin' European linen with the v-net
Diamond studded VVS
No less
Kunta Kinte bracelet
Lit up the whole set
My nigga, we on deck
Believe it's no sweat
Need street credibility who you go get
I give you that credibility for the right check
Keep your future on the shelf
Quiet where it's best kept
Don't want them upfront shooters
Bringin' red light

[Chorus]

Blown Away

[Akon]
Cheh

[Styles P]
This shit is crazy
Crazy

[Akon]
It's one of those things man
You gotta experience to know what I'm talkin' about
Ha ha
It's where the goin' get rough

[Styles P]
Akon

[Akon]
The tough stay tough

[Styles P]
Styles P

[Akon:]
Up front
Let's go
Konvict

[Akon:]
We in too deep to turn back now D

[Styles P:]
Sure is

[Akon:]
Watch yourself
Before you get
Blown away

[Styles P:]
You know where I come from
The place where your fate is a mic
Or a bull or a dum dum
A jail cell a pine box
And brothers is dumb young
Young boys
Still bustin' guns for the slum
That they come from
Cops is the only ones they gon' run from
That's it
They puttin' they hood up
But 9 out of 10 of us ain't got good luck
You gon' ride on a man and catch 25
Or get hit and get sent to the other side
You lose both sides of the coin
So me I play the hood baby
Not in the
Mama got a little church I could join
But I didn't go yet
Man got a mosque I could join
But I didn't go yet
Cool with the devil on my back
I'm in cold sweats
Bout to do some dirt
In some dirty black old sweats
If you known you shoulda shown the way
Mosta the hood bout to get blown away

[Akon:]
Cause I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make shit clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to a couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away

See I ain't never shot nobody
But I'm known for fightin'
So when I strike man
You'll think you been struck by lightning
Shouldn't have to prove myself by killin' a nigga
Even a child could figure out how to pull the trigga
Retaliation only takes anger mixed with passion
So you target in the distance and keep on blastin'
They say guns don't kill people, people do
So when you're hit man
You feel that shit the evils do
Can't see myself get beat down
My eyes swollen
Mom's cryin' they don't know what happened
My pride's stolen
If I ain't got my heat then I got a blade
That hit ya off

Cause I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make shit clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to a couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away

Keep my eye out for jakes
Ears to the streets
Other eye out for snakes
And these scandalous freaks
If we ain't on good terms
Don't bother to speak
Don't smile and try to spark a convo with me
Same thing'll make ya laugh it'll make ya cry
This quiet nigga, he'll take ya life
Hate for it to be the world's sacrifice
If somebody else could travel
Through the tunnel of life
Cause I'm that type of guy I'll be there
When you're ridin'
But I'll stay to myself
So if you see me out there
With a bear we fightin'
Then nigga go help the bear

Cause I was raised up to show no fear
Cowardly hearts'll never last long here
If you ain't man enough to make shit clear
Guaranteed you'll get blown away
Cause I done seen the block break down tears
And I done seen the cops break my peers
Tryin' to hold on to a couple more years
Tryin' not to get blown away

But I'm like no, let's keep it on a low, but occasion let me come through and tap that hole
Let me make you loose control, while all the other girls know I hit it right and night I'm a pro
I only come around to get sexual if shes flexible and bisexual
I might stay around for a longer time only if and if she can blow my mind
I can hurt that, murk that, work that spine, now shes getting love and wants to be mine
Stat Quo

[Chorus: Akon]

The money quack green and the ice like bluea
This swag might kill her so I say good night to her
She don't want me to leave I can see right through her
So we, dipped hopped burned one trip by get low like Corribean Limbo Dimbo
Out like a light baby girl get right, head so slow my head don't drip white
We can cruise in the car or we can take flight, in the middle of the night make your body ache light
Mike Vick against the eagles, call myself a king cause of regal, to be this high is not legal
But we don't care listen baby it's a fact back if you drop back I'm a quarterback sack back
We can go deep and I can shark attack that say you don't't remember where keys and your hat at?

[Chorus x2: Akon]
I feel you creepin', I can see it from my shadow
Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo
Maybe go to my place and just kick it like Taboo
And possibly bend ya over
Look back and watch me
Smack that, all on the floor

Smack that, till you get sore

I Wanna Love You

Yo
Konvict
Konvict Music (Tego Calderón)
(Snoop Dogg, Akon) and you know we up front

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl

Money in the air as mo' fell
Grab you by your coattail
Take you to the motel, ho sale
Don't tell, won't tell
Baby say, "I don't talk Dogg"
Then she told on me, oh well
Take a picture with me, what the flick gon' do?
Baby, stick to me and I'ma stick on you
If you pick me then I'ma pick on you
D-O-double G and I'm here to put this on you
I'm stuck on and yours is right
Rip ridin' the poles and them doors is tight
And I'ma get me a shot 'fo the end of the night
'Cause, and baby your for life

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl

Shorty, I can see you ain't lonely
Handful of, and they all got cheese
See you looking at me, now what it's gon' be?
Just another tease far as I can see
Tryna get you up out this club
If it means spendin' a couple dubs
Throwin' 'bout 30 stacks in the back
Make it rain like that 'cause I'm far from a scrub
You know my pedigree, ex-dealer used to move 'phetamines
Girl, I spend money like it don't mean nothin'
And besides, I got a thing for you

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor (ajá)
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know ('tá bien)
I wanna love you (love you), you already know (tú sabes)
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl (mira, mira)

Ey, te mentí con lo de hacernos jevos, con lo del viejo
Pero, mucho gusto, yo soy Tego (just smoking, just smoking)
Tú te vas pa' encima cuando caminas (¿qué, qué?)
Tú eres mi budín de esquina (uy) (baby, I see you)
Así que no te hagas la bruta y ponte pa' ésta ruta (ponte)
Que llegó Papá Machuca (papá) (yeah)
Te veo mirando
Sé lo que estás pensando (ajá)
Y te noto bellaqueando (uy)
Por ti, yo cambiaría par de día'
Hasta que deposite alguito en tu alcancía (ay Dios)
Quiero ser tu papi, mami
Dame un break, bendito
Que me tiene asfixia'ito (okey)

Girl, and while you're looking at me, I'm ready to hit the Caddy
Right up on the patio, move the patty to the Caddy
Baby, you got a fatty, the type I like to marry
Wanting to just give you everything and that's kinda scary
'Cause I'm lovin' the way you shake your ass
Bouncin', got me tippin' my glass
Normally don't get caught up too fast
But I got a thing for you

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl (chula, chula)

Ando pensando en pájaro preñao' enchulao'
Me tienes bien emburrao'
En otra vida, te doy par de chamacos
En esta vine a romperte el trapo (ajá)
Na' de pensione', na' de embarazos
Si quiere uno yo trato (yo', yo')
Mamita, yo trato (¿tú tratas?)
(Yo', break it down for 'em real quick Tego)

Yo quiero darte (ayy) tabla (oh)
Mi chula, you know (ayy, oh)
Yo quiero darte (yeah) felpa
You already know, jaja (¿qué fue?)
(Wild, boy)

Never Took The Time

A moment ago it seemed
It was yesterday
You were here with me
And everything seems to be the same
What am I supposed to do with all these empty rooms?
Sit here in solitude with the smell of your perfume

You never took the time to know me
You never took the time to understand
You never took the time to know me, yeah
'Cause loving you is all I ever had
Said loving you is all I ever had

This wasn't what I wanted to be
A man in misery
Girl, I look back a thousand times
And can't believe that you left me (Why you leave me, baby?)
Why can't you understand my pain?
How can I explain?
Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I can't believe your love is gone

'Cause you never took the time to know me
(Said you never took the time to know me)
You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah)
You never took the time to know me, yeah
(said you never took the time to know me)
See, loving you is all I ever had
Baby, loving you is all I ever had


You're all I need
You're all I see
I wish that we could do it again

'Cause you never took the time to know me
(Baby, you never took the time to know me)
You never took the time to understand (oh, yeah)
Said you never took the time to know me, yeah
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man
Because of you now I'm just a lonely man

Mama Africa

So much so much love
So much
So tell me can you feel it?
So much so much yeah
You know
Then make that visit
So much so much love
So much
Senegal can you feel it?
So much so much yeah

[Chorus:]
So much love to share
Pure blackness, wantness is so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness
Meet me there
So much love to care
Let them know they missin' out

Sing again
A
This is for all the love
And the life took away
F
Don't forget we were bought and trade
R
Ripped from the land and shipped away
I
Is the inspiration we use to survive
C
Have to see it with your own cries
A
No play add it up and arrive

Still you don't know
The land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden
Tell me if you feel it deep in your heart
Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice
And if you just believe in the most high
I know you'll be all right

[Chorus]

A
That's my favorite place when I need to get away
F
Must forget but we can't forget to pray
R
Like Lance ridin' on the runway
I
In my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive
C
Imagine Africa unite
A
Gonna accept mass alright

Still you don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no you not gonna see it on you TV
So just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is so new and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie
Mama Africa, unite

[Chorus]

So much so much love
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much
Then make that visit
So much so much love
Senegal can you feel it
So much so much
Ow!
So much love to share
I just can't see how we're livin' without it
So much love to care
Don't miss don't miss one moment about it
So much love to share
Resist this bliss though I really doubt it
So much love so much love to share
Oh yeah

[Chorus]

A
Is for ambition our dream we envision
F
Is for the fear we gon provoke when we vicious
R
Your smart enough to recognize my plan
A mystery become some history then change it damn
C, how we
Don't 4get how could we 4get Africa da motha land
Damn I thought you spanned
Had a peice beyond average for her I'm a savage
Property to lavish my life style is iight now

I think of you
When the morning comes and the nighttime goes away (all day)
Don't you ever think that we won't be okay (no way)
There is nothing stopping me from loving you
Touching and rubbing and kissing and hugging you
What's this feeling taking over me
Baby that's love and it ain't no stopping it

Pick up the pace and it ain't no dropping it
Always forever I'll be by your side

That someone like you will love me endlessly (forever)
If this goes our way my love will always be (eternally)
You have set my mind my love my heart so free
Together forever however just you and me
What's this feeling taking over me
Baby that's love and it ain't no stopping it
I don't know as far as the eyes can see
Pick up the pace and it ain't no dropping it
Always forever I'll be by your side

Gangsta Bop

Konvict eh eh eh eh eh eh
Go gangsta eh eh eh eh eh eh
Go gangsta keep boppin rock with me let's keep this bitch poppin
Go gangsta keep boppin like back when the nigga was glockin
See now a days seems like 'erbody wanna be killas
Gorillas getting high off that weed and liquor you die quicker
Paramedic's drive back slow to the hospital you get
Pronounced dead at 4 to the hospital stop frontin when you know you won't pull none
First nigga to retreat when the tools bust
Playin with death is bad for your health all your homeboys gone you're the last one left
They hearts beatin but these niggas be scared The real ones are all locked up or dead now a days your can't find a good conect But if you do you might be the feds

I don't know me you don't know you you don't know the history I got on these streets
Only if you see what my eyes have seen Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you owe me or we got beef I recommend you reach for your heat and don't freeze
Pause for a minute garuntee you gon' bleed
Cause that's how we was raised growin up on these streets

Go gangsta keep boppin rock with me let's keep this bitch poppin
Go gangsta keep boppin like back when the nigga was glockin

See it's hard to be good easy to do evil and I ain't really in meetin with no people
Just put the money in the bag and I'll leave you with the weed coke lambo or visa
You make a hundred dollars to the streets you made a g
When you coppin O's they're swearin you move keys Feds getting close in the rap scene G's and they try n find em beers not the one that slippin trees
We got the purp we got that blue you want short skirts we got that two
Whateva you need my nigga show me the G's and baby you could believe that we could make that proof

I don't know me you don't know you you don't know the history I got on these streets
Only if you see what my eyes have seen Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you owe me or we got beef I recommend you reach for your heat and don't freeze
Pause for a minute garuntee you gon' bleed
Cause that's how we was raised growin up on these streets

Go gangsta keep boppin rock with me let's keep this bitch poppin
Go gangsta keep boppin like back when the nigga was clockin

Streets been watchin and they don't blink Sidewalk get ears that pay me no sleep
The fittest will survive the weak just don't eat Erbody in between just getting the rap sheet

Once In A While

I can see it
It's funny man
Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle
I see my pain in your eyes man
So I know you're feelin' me
It's that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
I've seen it
In me

Cause everyday I can't help but see it
People ain't satisfied
And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
Everybody wanna live another life
But every goal or mountain you climb
Not to better your day
That do leave room for people to say
I guess you're livin' better now
Share a little of that cheddar now
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin and robbin' too
I done tossed up a letter now
On a whole nother level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people doin' the same
And gettin' money too

(Once in awhile I couldn't look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
(Once in awhile I couldn't look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

Cause everytime you ask me, I'm grindin'
It shouldn't have to be that way
You shouldn't have to pay my way
I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
Got a little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid

Oh
Is what you'll be askin'
God please hold it down for me
Don't let satan get ahold of me
I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
Muhammad thank God he recovered

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
(Once in awhile I choose look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
(Once in awhile I choose look at you)
I see your pain now
I can feel you strain now
And I can see you cryin'
And inside you're dyin
We're all the same now
But you got to make change now

(Once in awhile I choose look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more
(Once in awhile I choose look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
Don't wanna cry no more
And I can see
That you don't ever want to struggle no more
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry now more

Dont Matter

[Verse 1:]
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
Noone Knows We Would Be Forever
Bitch Through The Rain And The Weather
You Should Know I Would Leave You Never
But Your Friends Got So Much To Say
That It Would Just Throw Your Heart Away
And I Would Just Leave You Anyday
Think I Would Just Do That, No Way!
Baby All I Need Is Your Trust
Stop The Fighting And Fuss
If You Wanna Talk We Can Discuss
The Only Thing That Matters Is Us
Makin In Through We Gonna Fight
Standin By You Feels So Right
Through All I'm Holding You Tight
Layin By You In The Moonlight

[Chorus:]
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Yes We Gon' Fight
Oh Yes We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Believe We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Fight For Our Right To Love Yeah (Right Girl)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You)

[Verse 2:]
I Can Hear Talk Behind My Back Saying Things
Like They Ain't In Love They Just Playin Games
But If They Knew What We've Been Through
They'd Know The Truth That I Got You
Some Say That He's Just A Playa
You Barely Knew Now, Well You'll Know Later
They Don't Know How I Feel For Yaa
They Can Talk And Talk But It Don't Matter
They're My Past And Your My Future
We'll Crash The Past, And We'll Keep Moving
I See Love More Lust Than Lousier
It's Just Us Two, We Don't Need A Whole Team
No Body, Nobody Beleives That Me And You Can B-O-B
We Got Love Now, Ain't Thirsty For Crush But It Don't Matter
Let Me Talk About Us.

[Chorus:]
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Yes We Gon' Fight
Oh Yes We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Believe We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Fight For Our Right To Love Yeah (Right Girl)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You)

[Verse 3:]
You Got Every Right To Wanna Leave
You Got Every Right To Wanna Go
You Got Every Right To Hit The Road
And Never Talk To Me No More
You Don't Even Have To Call
Don't Even Check For Me At All
Cause The Way I've Been Acting Lately
I've Been Off The Wall
Especially Towards You
Putting Girls Before You
And They Wacthing Everythin I Been Doin
Just To Hurt You
Most Of It Just Ain't True
And They Won't Show You
How Much Of A Friend You Are To Me
And How I Love You, Baby

[Chorus: X2]
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You Babe)
Yes We Gon' Fight
Oh Yes We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Believe We Gon' Fight (We Gon Fight)
Fight For Our Right To Love Yeah (Right Girl)
Nobody Wanna See Us Together
But It Don't Matter No (Cause I Got You)

Oh Uh Oh Uh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
(Cause I Got You)
