[Intro]
Yeah
The streets is cryin' man
I know y'all miss your boy
I'm back
Konvict music
Hey hey

[Hook]
(Konvict)
Real niggas recognize real
Know you heard it before I seen the blood spill
'Cause in the hood nigga upping
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin'
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin'

[Verse 1]
I'm gangsta, it never left, I just had to chill
Me and 50 warned you niggas that we still kill
Snakes in the grass tryna police niggas
Say I'm living too large, I'm obese nigga
8 hundred million then I cashed out
You ain't got it by now, well then you're assed out
I read the blueprint and then I ran with it
Gave it to Boo, he went and built his brand with it

[Hook]
Yep, real niggas recognize real
Know you heard it before I seen the blood spill
'Cause in the hood nigga upping
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin'
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin'
(Hey!)

[Verse 2]
In position of power so now they hear me
May not admit it but I know these niggas fear me
Every year I grind harder than the last one
Life's short, you never know when it's your last one
Black as fuck my girl, I'mma call us the steelers
Keep it a hundred when niggas been hired to kill us
You wanna hustle just know I supply the dealer
All you live in a jungle and you ain't a gorilla yea

[Hook]
Real niggas recognize real
Know you heard it before I seen the blood spill
'Cause in the hood nigga upping
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin'
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin'

[Outro]
Oh
Ooh yeah
Oh aye, ah
Hey, streets is crying

[Hook]
Real niggas recognize real
Know you heard it before I seen the blood spill
'Cause in the hood nigga upping
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin' ah
Ain't sayin' nothin'
And when they askin' questions then you ain't sayin' nothin'

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.
