[Akon] 
Cheh 

[Styles P] 
This [bad word] is crazy 
Crazy 

[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 

[Styles P] 
Sure is 

[Akon] 
Watch yourself 
Before you get 
Blown away 

[Styles P] 
You know where [bad word] from 
The place where your fate is a mic 
Or a bull or a dum dum 
jail cell a pine box 
And brothers is dumb young 
Young boys 
Still bustin' guns for the slum 
that [bad word] from 
Cops is the only ones they [bad word] 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 sweats 
If 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] by lightning 
Shouldn't have to prove myself by killin' a [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word]  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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
