[Intro]
Upfront (yeah ha ha...)
Senegal (yeah ha ha...)

[Chorus]
Anyone in the place tonight
You don't wanna be a witness
Then walk away (Akon)
Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight
And anyone in my path will die today
By my AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)

[Verse 1]
Have you ever spent one day on my block?
Had to make good with crooked ass cops?
Witness innocent bystanders get shot
Made a living ready or not (We)
(To stay true) To all my niggas
Things getting hard but we still grinding up
(To stay true) To all my niggas
Still don't came up and cops cribs by the river
Men we imported export keys
Before the feds came down on we
True bad man no counterfeit g's
Maybe wanna stick around and trust you will see (That)

[Chorus]
Anyone in the place tonight
You don't wanna be a witness
Then walk away (Akon)
Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight
And anyone in my path will die today
By my AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)
AK (Gunshot)

[Verse 2]
So playboy don't make me pull your card (Ok)
Buss a shot and separate your squad (Ok)
Gangsters never know who you are (OK!!!)
And where you from ain't never made you hard (OK!!!)
You could be from Africa or Asia (OH!!!)
America back a yard in Jamaica (OH!!!)
You could be from under the Ecuador (OH!!!)
Regardless I will see you later (OH!!!)
See you can run but it's hard to hide (OH!!!)
What will kill you inside (OH!!!)
Wait up man till you stand up right (OH!!!)
That's why we no 'fraid of warning signs (OH!!!)

[Chrous]
Anyone in the place tonight
You don't wanna be a witness
Then walk away (Akon)
Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight
And anyone in my path will die today
By my AK (Gunshot)

[Verse 3]
Bad man we are multiply, we no fear the law or no regular guy
So we, mash the place, run the place, burn the place, (Say) done the place
Top shotta we a ready to ride
And we no easy joy and no 'fraid to ride
So we, mash the place, run the place, burn the place, (Say) done the place

[Chorus]
Anyone in the place tonight
You don't wanna be a witness
Then walk away (Akon)
Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight
And anyone in my path will die today
By my AK (Gunshot)

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.
