[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 sweatsIf 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
