[Chorus: Akon]
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
Do you make money, mothafucka?
I'm the mascot, baby
In the city in the crib off of Caspin, Christmas
Count the city that with the cash by Billy and I ain't gon' stop
No nigga, I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man

[Verse 1: French Montana]
Self made
Anthem on my life for the marching band
Montana, I'll beez the bomb like the Taliban
Poppin' like a frying pan, slide like a violin
Through the crackhole blindfold like a Telescan
Most underrated, but never underpaid
Fake niggas mad and all the real niggas glad he made it
Gladiator baby
Don't be actin' shady baby
Seein' they be shinin' through the diamonds, tryna see me baby
I'm the product, get that product baby serving dog
Fuckin' with the hottest, so the hottest I deserved the ball
It's that Cocaine Mafia Connect
Juicy J, Project Pat, Montana roger that

[Chorus: Akon]
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
Do you make money, mothafucka?
I'm the mascot, baby
In the city in the crib off of Caspin, Christmas
Count the city that with the cash by Billy and I ain't gon' stop
No nigga, I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man

[Verse 2: Juicy J]
I done did what I had to
Grind on my own two
Feet from the street with the killas and the real goons
Watchin' out for popo
Tryna sell the Yayo
Tryna be the weed man
Even sell the beans man
I'm a always stand out
I don't take no handouts
But I take you're money bruh
Run up in you're gram house
I hustle till I die
With the rappin' with the trappin'
Whether be a hit man with the guns clappin'
Comin' straight from the hood, I'ma make it happen
I ain't never had shit, I had to sell or snatch it
Chrome cree fifty seven got always packed in
That I cut you're fuckin' head like a fuckin' hatchet

[Chorus: Akon]
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
Do you make money, mothafucka?
I'm the mascot, baby
In the city in the crib off of Caspin, Christmas
Count the city that with the cash by Billy and I ain't gon' stop
No nigga, I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man

[Verse 3: Project Pat]
I'm self made
Gettin' paid, went and found my own plug
Just like Frank Lucas did, went and got my own drugs
Taped up by my nugs, on the plane Cali buds
Soon as I hit the hood, I ain't showin' Cali love
Everything for the streets, nigga gotta give me me
Five hundred dollars ounce of purp in these Memphis street
I done made a killion off a drug dealion
Rap up bout my life and I sold me a million
Mr Gold Plate, get raw then we pop ya
DB investments, Cocaine mafia
Pistols and shotguns, grams and the hard run
Twenty eights on the dough, got these Hummers so much

[Chorus: Akon]
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
Do you make money, mothafucka?
I'm the mascot, baby
In the city in the crib off of Caspin, Christmas
Count the city that with the cash by Billy and I ain't gon' stop
No nigga, I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man
I'm a self made man, self made man

Akon

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.
