AKON LYRICS

“Walk away” - Akon
album: “Konvicted” (2006)

Face a trouble every day
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It’s a struggle every day
Trying not to rob G’s, Still I borrow

[Verse 1:]
I need to take it slow
My heart is growing cold
I’m trying to hide my feelings
From the people that I know
and everywhere I go I’m trying to lay low
Can’t afford to get in no trouble because I’m on parole

I’m trying to live life right
God knows with all my might
But I’m just barely getting by
Cuz money’s way too tight
And I can say this right
The struggle and the fight
It’s weakin’ all the muscles in my body like kryptonite
Making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day…So!

[Chorus: x2]
Face a trouble every day
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It’s a struggle every day
Trying not to rob G’s, Still I borrow

[Verse 2:]
Streets, I ain’t no longer on it
Don’t need feds all upon it
I done left that life alone
Cuz all I did was impress, my homie!
And then my conscience told me
“Careful you tendarone!”
Always complaining after I ain’t never did
She always lonely. So what am I to do
Gotta get money for food, cuz if she starves to death
Then I gotta deal with her attitude
And I in that type of mood cuz I ain’t type of dude
It’s bad enough, I gotta deal with all this I’m going thru
It’s making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day…So!

[Chorus: x4]
Face a trouble every day
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It’s a struggle every day
Trying not to rob G’s, Still I borrow

“Shake Down” - Akon
album: “Konvicted” (2006)

Konvict
Stand up
Salute
Devon Stephens
Up front is in the building
It’s the konvict album
Yeah
Yall done fucked 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 niggas 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

Hey now
A bunch of gangstas strapped
So make a wish now
When they come wavin’ them ghats
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 ghats
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 shortie 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 homie
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

Hey now
A bunch of gangstas strapped
So make a wish now
When they come wavin’ them ghats
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 ghats
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

Now Ima 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 konvict 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

Hey now
A bunch of gangstas strapped
So make a wish now
When they come wavin’ them ghats
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 ghats
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

AKON LYRICS

“Once In A While” - Akon
album: “Konvicted” (2006)

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
