(feat. Styles P)


[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
