Akon - Gringo (Uk Bonus Track) lyrics

Konvict music upfront
Gotta get my block sold up... ya know me
Gotta get my block sold up... ya know me
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
I heard you want some marijuana
Want some pure white coca
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
You see I've never been a smoker
I'm just your neighborhood dealer
And I'm tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
See I woke up early as hell one morning
And I noticed my stash was half gone
'Cause these fiends can't stop smokin my rocks
'Cause lately around my way these niggas been warrin'
Fightin' for teritory that's mine
'Cause these cats can't stop liquors or shots
I'ma show you right now the only reason the block is movin'
I got dubs at the price of a dime
That's why I'm on top and it don't stop
'Cause I get it so cheap no matter what I wont be losin'
Re-up spots is so hard to find
But I got one cool ass mexican
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
I heard you want some marijuana
Or some pure white coca
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
You see I've never been a smoker
I'm just your neighborhood dealer
And I'm tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
You can find me on the other side of the border
With a hundred grand in my pocket
For the first trip just pack a little bit
'Cause I'ma bring the work back by air or even by water
What ever it take to get to the crib
Gotta play it safe cause they out there
See I got so much clientele home waiting
I can't just make one trip
But I gotta get enough to supply the city
But I gotta be careful smugglin' in
Vaseline Reynolds Wrap to hide the scent
Off on the next trip while I wait for Jose
He'll bring it to me
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
I heard you want some marijuana
Or some pure white coca
Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
You see I've never been a smoker
I'm just your neighborhood dealer
And I'm tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up ohhh
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Just tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
I said I'm just tryin' to keep my block sold up
Tryin' to keep my block sold up
Cause I'm a konvict
Never gonna be a convict
'Cause I'm a konvict
Never gonna be a convict

Akon - Ghetto lyrics

Album: Trouble

Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto we livin
[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 tight just got outta the bing doin stay 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 life 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 drama would stop today
A lot of niggers 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
Sleeping in the (ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
[bridge]
Gun shots every night in the (ghetto)
Crooked cops on sight in the (ghetto)
Every day is a fight in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
Got kids to feed in the (ghetto)
Selling coke and weed in the (ghetto)
Every day somebody bleed in the (ghetto)
(oh oh oh oh oh) (ghetto)
[chorus]
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Living by the (ghetto)oh
Eating in the (ghetto, ghetto)
Thats the life when your
Living in the (ghetto)oh
Sleeping in the (ghetto)

Akon - Freedom lyrics

Album: Freedom

Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free (Konvict)
From Senegal West Africa,
To St. Louis, Missouri
Thanks to Catherine Dana
For giving my pops his glory
He came down with his drum
And a dream to change the world
In a free uplifting world
And that's all he ever want
Mom came a little after
Gave birth to my brother
then all of the pressure
Made em' fight one another
See, the pain would never last
Did the best with what they had
He knew the world was out for grabs
And he searched to find his
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, (Oh) Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes man, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free
So I search to find my (find my)..
..Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, yeah
As a kid I never knew
I'd have to hustle just to make it through
So I found myself skipping school
Cause' the girls don't think I'm cool
And because of that I didn't care
Whether or not I went to jail
I just wanna be treated fair
Cause thats all I ever knew
Tellin' me I need to slow down
Cause everybody in the whole town
Cause they know how I get down
Foreigner from another town
Can you believe we still around?
After so many hit the ground
And we ain't gon stop now
Until we get that
Freedom, (ooohh) Freedom, (oohhh) Freedom, (oh) Freedom
Everything I have, (have) everything I own, (own)
All my mistakes man you already know (yea)
I wanna be free, (free) I wanna be free (free)
won't stop till I find
my freedom, my Freedom, (Freedom) my Freedom, (Freedom) (oh) Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl, you already know
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, yeah
If you wanna be free, and the land is drug-free
put your hands up, (ay) put your hands up (ay)
If you wanna be free, from all your misery
put your hands up, (ay) put your hands up
If you wanna be free, with plenty money (ay)
put your hands up, put your hands up
If you wanna be free, just praise G-O-D put your hands (ay) up, put your hands up (ay)
Freedom, (ohh) Freedom (Freedom), Freedom, (ooh) Freedom
Everything I have, everything I own
All my mistakes girl you already know
I wanna be free (wanna be free), I wanna be free (wanna be free yea)

Akon - Birthmark lyrics

Album: Freedom

Yeeaaa yeaaaa
Ohh ohh
Yeeaaa yeaaaa
Ohh ohh
Yeeaaa
[Verse 1]
I made the mark on February 1st
Between me and you you can call it birth
The beginning of our universe
Remind me of Alicia Keys' verse
I'm falling
For you
I wish I had an opportunity to not do
What I did
To hurt you
Now I'm here living with regrets
[Pre-Chorus]:
I know that it was my fault,
I know that I got caught,
So please don't lose your thoughts,
Of me loving you and you loving me
I'm on the highway swerving
I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb'n
Looking at the calendar getting nervous
Just a few more days to the first
So this the day that it all began (ay)
One place that it came together (ay)
More than a ring or a tattoo
Wish a birthmark that reminds of you
[Chorus]:
So let's get on an airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart,
(To your heart, to your heart, to your heart) x4
Get the calendar
Go to August 3rd
First words day
We had our first words
First argument, gotta let it go
Cuz it could possibly affect what our future holds
Flipping pages, now I'm famous
Thinking back I ain't seen you in ages
Wishing that I coulda made it less painless
Brings me back right back to the same mess
[Pre-Chorus]:
I know that it was my fault,
I know that I got caught,
So please don't lose your thoughts,
Of me loving you and you loving me
I'm on the highway swerving
I ain't drunk but I'm about to hit the curb'n
Looking at the calendar getting nervous
Just a few more days to the first
So this the day that it all began (ay)
One place that it came together (ay)
More than a ring or a tattoo
Wish a birthmark that reminds of you
[Chorus]:
So let's get on an airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart,
(To your heart, to your heart, to your heart) x4
January February March April May
June July August is just another day,
September October November trying to find a way
And in December to mark my calendar to meet again
If only we can go to that place where me and you know,
There's no faith fronting cheating even lying,
The time has come where we stand face to face
[Pre-Chorus]:
So this the day that it all began
One place that it came together
More than a ring or a tattoo
Wish a birthmark that reminds of you
[Chorus]:
So let's get on an airplane
Go back to where we began
To that point which is days apart
That's stamped right next to your heart
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
That's stamped right next to your heart
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
(To your heart)
That's stamped right next to your heart

Akon - Be With You lyrics

Album: Freedom

Eh eh eh eh eh eh
Ohhhhhh
I know they wanna come and separate us but they can't do us nothin
You're the one I want and Imma continue lovin
Cause your considered wifey and I'm considered husband
And Imma always be there for you
And either way you look at it I ain't goin nowhere from my muffin
Cause she gonna hold it down, can't nobody tell her nothin
You got the kind of love that always make up after fussin
And that's what gets me closer to you
And no one knows
Why I'm into you
Cause you'll never know what it's like to walk in our shoes
And no one knows, the things we've been through
Can never measure up to half of what I put you through
That's why we'll break through
And I don't care what they say
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I wanna be with you
And I don't care what they do
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Seems like every day that go by things are gettin harder
Want to be the one that give you the whole enchilada
Cause I know what my baby like,
I know you love that Prada Louis bag to match with the shoes
All about knowing you I'm into doing things to keep her longer
Stickin together forever, watch it grow stronger
That's the way it has to be, everything proper
Keepin it always true
And no one knows
What I'm into you
Cause you'll never know what its like to walk in our shoes
And no one know, the things we've been through
Can never measure up to half of what I put you through
That's why we'll break through
And I don't care what they say
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I wanna be with you
And I don't care what they do
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
You are everything in my life see the joy you bring
And ain't no one I can compare you to
And I know that you will never walk away from me no matter what
And that's why I plan to do the same thing for you
And I want you to know
And I don't care what they say
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I wanna be with you
And I don't care what they do
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
And I don't care what they say
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I wanna be with you
And I don't care what they do
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
