artist: Akon
year: 2004

[Styles P]
Locked up, they won’t let me out,
And I had a long day in court **** stressed me out,
Won’t gimme the bail they can’t get me out,
Now I’m headed to the county,
Gotta do a bid here, I’m used to living luxurous,
I don’t wana live here, the walls is gray the clothes is orange,
The phones is broke, the food is garbage,
A lot a niggas is livin with these circumstances,
Sp’s the same I still murk ya manz’z ,
Drug money to rap money work advances,
Niggas ran and told that I shoulda murked to kansas,
Niga got popped for a murda attempt,
Knocked me on d block when I was burning the hemph,
Had a brick in the stash hope they don’t take to a further extent,
Locked up and they wont let me out,
When I hit my cell block, niggas know the threat be out.

[AKON]
I’m steady tryna find a motive,
Why do what I do.
Freedom aint gettin no closer,
No matter how far I go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops partolin, and now they done stop me,
And I get locked up,

[Chorus]
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they wont let me out, (I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they won’t let me out

[Akon]
Headin up town to re up,
Back with a couple peeps,
Corner blocks on fire,
Under covers dressed as feens,
Makin so much money,
Products movin’ fast,
Put away the stash,
And as I sold the last bag fucked around and got locked up

[CHORUS]
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (my nigga I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they wont let me out, (I got locked up)
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (baby girl I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they won’t let me out

[Styles P]
Now that I’m locked up I rep two sets so
Ima ride or die and stay d blocked up
Two tooth brushes up,
Whoever wanted with p
When I walk by nigga get up,
Cuz I’m locked up they cant get me out,
I smoke a stick of haze when they stress me out,
Go and hit the bar when the reds be out,
Cant wait for the day when they let me out,

[Akon]
Cuz visitation no longer comes by,
Seems like they forgot about me,
Commissary is getting empty,
My cell mates getting food without me,
Can’t wait to get out and move forward with my life,
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead I get locked up

[CHORUS]
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they wont let me out, (my nigga I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out, they won’t let me out, (I’m locked up)
They won’t let me out no, they won’t let me out (cuz I’m locked up)

I Won’t

I Won’t
album: Trouble
artist: Akon
year: 2004

I won’t, I won’t
I won’t, I won’t
‘Cause I came too far

Tryin’ to know what’s going on
Echoes on my celluar phone
I notice a couple items missin’
Could it be the feds still listenin’

See, I don’t beat those cases
Did time for the miscellanous
And they proceed to keep on watchin’
‘Cause I don’t seen them lately

Interrogated my mom
Locked up half of my crew
But I can guarantee one thing
That I won’t let you

I won’t, let you lock me down
I won’t, let you push me ’round
I won’t, let you stop me now
I won’t, ’cause I came too far

I won’t, let you ruin my day
I won’t, let you stop my pay
I won’t, no, not today
I won’t ’cause I came too far

Devil’s always watchin’ me
Evils always stalkin’ me
God has been protectin’ me
And that’s how I got this far

‘Cause when you look at me
You see an angel
Can’t believe I been through half the things
That I went through

‘Cause everyday I see a face
Misconstrued by the human race
So please don’t judge me unless you know me
‘Cause I won’t let you

I won’t, let you lock me down
I won’t, let you push me ’round
I won’t, let you stop me now
I won’t, ’cause I came too far

I won’t, let you ruin my day
I won’t, let you stop my pay
I won’t, no, not today
I won’t ’cause I came too far

Came too far to turn back now
Came too far to turn back now
Ain’t nobody gonna stop me
Ain’t nobody gonna stop me

Came too far to turn back now
Came too far to turn back now
Ain’t nobody gonna stop me
Ain’t nobody gonna stop me

I won’t, let you lock me down
I won’t, let you push me ’round
I won’t, let you stop me now
I won’t, ’cause I came too far

I won’t, let you ruin my day
I won’t, let you stop my pay
I won’t, no, not today
I won’t ’cause I came too far

I won’t, I won’t
I won’t, I won’t
I won’t, I won’t

(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Girl I Know you’re fed up but things gonna get a lot better
(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Don’t wanna see you give up, whatever you do, don’t let up

Girl i Know that things are hard now
And you’re feeling that you’re all alone
Mom & dad’s no long ’round now
‘Cause now you’re grown with kids of your own
Baby dad is nowhere to be found
While you play the role of mom & papi
(Raising them all by yourself)
Always home and can’t go out now
Can’t remember the last time that you were happy
Whatever you do…

(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Girl I Know you’re fed up but things gonna get a lot better
(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Don’t wanna see you give up, whatever you do, don’t let up

Every man that you meet on the streets
You’re looking at him like he’s an enemy
(Just give us one more chance)
Girl I know that you can’t hurt no more
You’ve been damaged, can’t trust nobody
And I know that you can just move on
If you let your past go with the wind
(And smile more often)
Then you will find that guy that you always wanted
From friend to husband
So girl just know that…

(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Girl I Know you’re fed up but things gonna get a lot better
(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Don’t wanna see you give up, whatever you do, don’t let up

No matter how bad things get
Girl don’t let it get to you
I know you’re trying to make ends meet
So girl don’t let it get to you
You only got one life to live
So don’t let it get to you
So go on and make the best of it
Just don’t let it get to you

(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Girl I Know you’re fed up but things gonna get a lot better
(Dont Let it Get To You, No Baby)
Don’t wanna see you give up, whatever you do, don’t let up

[Interlude]
Akon (akon)
C’mon

[Verse 1]
This is the ultimate journey of your life
Where the weak die and the strong survive
Prepare to suffer 40 days and 40 nights
Strap on your boots because you got a long hike

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
C’mon now
Just another journey, who ever thought I’d cross this line
Ohohohohoh

[Verse 2]

Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey (Jersey)
A dollar to my name searchin for that key
I’m tryin not to reincorinate my past
I’m tired from the game, took another path
Destination 95 Dirty South
Where the devil tried to realter my route
Creator took me by the hand and led the way-ay
to make the story short thats why I’m here today

[Chorus]

What about that day you said I wouldn’t amount to shit
And about that day you kicked me out onto the bricks
What about that time you said I wouldnt make a dime
And about that time you said I couldn’t make you mine
Destination to the bank overseas
Where Akons treated like royalty
Cause there’s so much in this world i have to see-e
The wagon’s rolling so jump in a follow me-e

[Breakdown]

Born and raised in Africa trying to make a scene
(trying to make a scene)
The best way to get to you is by this music thing
And you might believe

[Outro]

Akon (Akon)
C’mon (c’mon)

Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of America
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of Africa
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos of Asia
Lets take it to the streets
I traveled through the ghettos all over

[Chorus]

In my journey yea (yea, yea)

Never thought the day would come where you would get up and run and I would be out chasing you
Cause ain’t nowhere in the globe I’d rather be, ain’t no-one in the globe I’d rather see then the girl of my dreams that made me
Be so happy but now so lonely

Hurt my baby, and it’s driving me crazy cuz…

I’m sure that the streets are watching me
Rather not run when the cops are stopping me
Pulled over on the road they watching me
As they walk passed all the chicks are jockin me
Ferrari truck on the side of the road

Ohhh yeah, dada, dodo, dada, dodo, dada, dodo, Akon

Life come and go
So let the history be told
We’re all out here
Hustlin’ to make our way
And while you’re stumblin’ and fallin’ (stumblin’ and fallin’)
Why don’t you pick yourself up now (pick yourself up now)
You see we all out here
Working day by day

So tell me
How can we work it out
On that day when its time to share the gold at the end of the rainbow
How can we work it out
When good and evil meet
The day you kiss his feet
Cause it will soon come

You soon lose track of which way is up when your always being put down (being put down)
You gotta be strong and do what you feel in your heart
Regardless of who’s around (regardless of who’s around)
I know it might seem bold
But thats all we have (all we have)
Many centuries and we’re steady getting old
Clutchin’ on to what we never had

Sooo
How can we work it out
On that day when its time to share the gold at the end of the rainbow
(how can we) How can we work it out (how can we)
When good and evil meet
The day you kiss his feet
Cause it will soon come

How can we work it out
On that day when its time to share the gold at the end of the rainbow (share the gold)
How can we work it out
When good and evil meet
The day you kiss his feet
Cause it will soon come

How can we work it out (dada)
Dodo (how can we work it out)
How can we work it out (dada)
Dodo ohhhh (dada)
How can we work it out (dodo)

How can we work it out
When good and evil meet
The day you kiss his feet
Cause it will soon come (yeah)

[Verse one]

These streets remind me of quicksand (quicksand)
When your on it you’ll keep goin down (goin down)
And there’s noone to hold on too
And there’s noone to pull you out
You keep on fallin (falling)
And noone can here you callin
So you end up self destructing
On the corner with the tuli on the waist line just got outta the bing doin state time
Teeth marks on my back from the canine
Dark Memories of when there was no sunshine
Cause they said that I wouldn’t make it
(I remember like yesterday)
Holdin on to what god gave me

[Chorus]

Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto) (ghetto)
Cause thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)and
Eating in the (ghetto)or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)

[Verse two]

No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythin’ come and go)
Even the life that you have is borrowed
(Cause your not promised tomorrow)
So live your life as if everydays’ gon be your last
Once you move forward can’t go back
Best prepare to remove your past

Cause ya gotta be willin to pray
Yea There gotta be (there gotta be) a better way oh
Yea ya gotta be willing to pray
Cause there gotta be (there gotta be) a better day (ay)

Whoever said that this struggle would stop today
A lot of niggas dead or locked away
Teenage Women growing up with aids

[Chorus]

Cause thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto) oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when ur
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto) or

Gun shots every night in the (ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)
Every day is a fight in the (ghetto)
