2005 Trouble

I’m steady tryna’ find the motive (Motive) Why I do what I do? Freedom ain’t getting no closer (Closer) No matter how far I go Locked Up

‘Cause ain’t nowhere in the globe I’d rather be Ain’t no one in the globe I’d rather see Than the girl of my dreams that made me be So happy, but now so lonely Lonely

And there’s no one to hold on to And there’s no one to pull you out You keep on fallin’, no one can hear you callin’ So you end up self-destructin’ Ghetto

Yo Akon! What up, dude? You comin’ or what, man? No, I got a lot on my mind, I’ma let y’all go ahead, man Alright Come on

Locked up, they won’t let me out And I had a long day in court, shit stress me out Won’t give me a bail, they can’t get me out Locked Up (Remix)

‘Cause visitation no longer comes by (Comes by) Seems like they forgot about me (‘Bout me) Commissary is getting empty (Empty) My cell mates getting food without me (Without me) Locked Up

Even the life that you have is borrowed ‘Cause you’re not promised tomorrow Ghetto

Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night And I noticed my girl wasn’t by my side Could’ve sworn I was dreamin’ For her I was feenin’ Lonely

I’m steady tryin’ to find a motive Why do what I do? The freedom ain’t getting no closer No matter how far I go Locked Up (Remix)

I’m locked up, they won’t let me out Ohhh… they won’t let me out Can you please accept my phone calls? ‘Cause I’m locked up, locked up, locked up Locked Up

‘Cause there gotta be, there gotta be a better day Whoever said that the struggle would stop today? A lot a niggas dead or locked away Teenage women growin’ up with AIDS Ghetto

What really hurt me is I broke your heart Baby, you a good girl and I had no right I really wanna make things right Lonely

2006 Konvicted

I feel you creepin’, I can see you from my shadow Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo? Smack That

Men steady comin’ after you Women steady comin’ after me Seems like everybody wanna go for self And don’t wanna respect boundaries Don’t Matter

Money in the air as mo’ fell Grab you by your coattail, take you to the motel Ho sale; don’t tell, won’t tell Baby say “I don’t talk, Dogg unless you told on me” – oh we I Wanna Love You

‘Cause we gon’ fight Oh, yes, we gon’ fight Believe we gon’ fight Fight for our right to love, yeah Don’t Matter

Always forever I’ll be by your side You’re my Bonnie, I’m your Clyde That’s the way that it’s gonna be I’m in love with you and you in love with me I Can’t Wait

Oh, looks like another club banger They better hang on when they throw this thang on Get a little drink on, they gon’ flip For this Akon shit, you can bank on it Smack That

I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know I wanna love you… you already know I wanna love you… you already know, girl I Wanna Love You

Nobody wanna see us together Nobody thought we’d last forever I feel I’m hopin’ and prayin’ Things between us gon’ get better Don’t Matter

Always forever I’ll be by your side You’re my Bonnie, I’m your Clyde Cause that’s the way that it’s gonna be I’m in love with you and you’re in love with me I Can’t Wait

2008 Freedom

It’s been so long That I haven’t seen your face I’m trying to be strong But the strength I have is washing away Right Now (Na Na Na)

When I see you I run out of words, to say (ahh) I wouldn’t leave you Cause you’re that type of girl to make me stay (ahh) Beautiful

I get it in ’til sunrise Doing 90 in a 65 Windows rolled down screaming “Ahhh!” Hey-ey-ey… I’m so paid I’m So Paid

Cause she gonna hold it down, can’t nobody tell her nothin’ That got the kind of love that always make a better fussin’ And that’s what gets me closer to you Be With You

Girl I know, mistakes were made between us two And we showed Ourselves that night, even said somethings weren’t true Why’d you go? Right Now (Na Na Na)

I see you in the club, you gettin down, girl I wanna get with you, yeah I see you in the club, you showin thugs love I wanna get with you You’re so beautiful, so damn beautiful Beautiful

Number one hustla get money Why you wanna count a nigga money? I’m a hustla and I don’t need them! One of them ya’ll see! I’m so paid I’m So Paid

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 Be With You

Who’d ever thought that I would see this day Where I would see my ghetto life fade away Cause I was lost, and couldn’t find a way Sunny Day

And haven’t seen my girl since then Why can’t it be the way it was Cause you were my Homie, lover, and friend… Right Now (Na Na Na)

Goddess, watch my girl and how she hot dress Spotless, hotness bad to the bone Make me wanna bone, put me in a triple-X zone (zone) Beautiful

You are everythin’ in my life, see the joy you bring And ain’t no one I 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 Be With You

Been a long day, on my way To my holy place to pray Give thanks for every blessing given to me I know there’s more to see, more to me No more living in misery Cause this how I vision life to be Sunny Day

2015 Stadium

It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it I see you working go and put your back into it Dirty Work

So can I get a toot toot for the lovers tonight Toot toot love when it’s just right? Toot toot, it’s about to go down So here we go, here we go now Hypnotized

What makes you want to live again Goodbye my enemies, hello my friends And what would make you forgive the man Who was once your enemy but now your friend Better

Everybody walks in different directions Whole world’s running to each his own It’s a place that justifies it all And nobody’s ever wrong Each His Own

Baby I’mma watch… you, just keep it moving You know exactly what you’re doing So go and do your dirty work Dirty Work

Cause now I know better So, thanks to my past Oh, baby now it’s all better Let’s make this shit last Better

And we follow our hearts into the night Wake up, thank God to be alive You can try to save a life that don’t wanna be saved If we all see eye to eye, the world will be grey Each His Own

You got my mind, girl, spinning ’round and ’round You got it spinning So far away, girl, where it can’t be found Just go and admit Hypnotized

Praying for America, I hope they down with Harry Potter Isn’t she the most beautiful thing that you ever saw? Don’t she deserve the biggest diamond ring that you ever bought? Dirty Work

he sunshine is waiting for me on the other side of the rainbow The point of no return, my life’s changing Better

I am who I am You are who you are I could wish on the clouds And you could wish on the stars Each His Own
