[Intro]
Konvict
Ain't no love out here
No love out here
No love out here, no
No love out here

[Verse 1]
I found myself searching
And I just couldn’t find
It seems they're all working
Waiting for the right time
Just tryin' to survive
Surrounded by crime
While I’m just tryin' to provide for you
I face some time, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna think that I'm going crazy
It seems like everything changed from the way the streets praise me
Ain't no code that everybody live by
Too many died, can't let that shit slide
When you showed a sweet love, you got all my life
Baby girl, love saved me

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you
You got what I need
'Cause you kept me out the pit
And made sure I never went back again
By giving me sweet love, sweet love, yeah
Sweet love, sweet love
Yes, that sweet love, sweet love, yeah
Sweet love, sweet love

[Verse 2]
So dangerous when you had me falling
Oh yeah, I'm head over heels for you, on the concrete crawling
So you’re the reason I made that change
And never again will life be the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna think that I'm going crazy
It seems like everything changed from the way the streets praise me
Ain’t no code that everybody live by
Too many died, can't let that shit slide
When you showed a sweet love, you got all my life
Baby girl, love saved me

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you
You got what I need
'Cause you kept me out the pit
And made sure I never went back again
By giving me sweet love, sweet love, yeah
Sweet love, sweet love
Yes, that sweet love, sweet love, yeah
Sweet love, sweet love

[Outro]
So dangerous
So dangerous
So dangerous
So dangerous

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
