ok...Akon stay out of trouble now son

Akon... stay out of trouble now son



Let me tell you what hurts the most

I'm a convicted felon and I can't work

no matter where I go I try to get paid

they never give me the job cuz they are afraid that

I'm a stick em up oh yea stick it

rob the manager and everybody in it

thats the everyday life of a convict tryin to make it

why they sayin to me



[Chorus: X2]

The judges said don't trouble nobody

Probation said don't trouble nobody

stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody

and I'm a try not to trouble nobody



Me and my niggaz on the block all day clockin dimes

lookin out for police

cause this the type of shit that we go through

up in the ghetto jus to make some cheese

street life got me gettin locked up about 5, 6 times a week

and then a made bond, take it from the profit of the weed

all this just to feed my seeds, yeah



[Hook]

I got a stop this livin, I witness one to many killings

I've seen the hardenst niggaz straight propped up

and a pound that's never ever been found so..



[Chorus: X2]



I'm tryin to stay away from trouble everyday

but its hard when the things you need

picture lookin at your babies in the face

when they hungry and they need to eat



[Hook]

Tryin not to do wrong

but they won't let me do right

even though I done changed my life

criminal records what they judgen me by

that's why..



[Chorus]

Momma said don't trouble nobody

Papa said don't trouble nobody

stay out of trouble don't trouble nobody

and I'm a try not to trouble nobody



[Chorus]

Momma said don't trouble nobody

Papa said don't trouble nobody

stay out of trouble don't trouble nobody

and I'm a try not to trouble nobody
