[Intro]
I won't
I won't
I won't
I won't
Cause I came too far

[Verse 1]
Tryin to know what's goin' on
Echoes on my cellular phone
I noticed a couple items missing
Could it be the FEDS still listening?
See i outa' beat those cases
Dead time for the miscellaneous
And they proceed to keep on watching
Cause i outa seen them lately
Interrogated my mom
Locked up half of my crew!
But i can guarantee one thing that i won't let you DO!

[Chorus]
I won't let you lock me down
I won't let you push me 'round
I won't Let you stop me now
I won't, cause I came too far

I Won't let you ruin my day
I won't let you stop my pain
I won't , Noo not today!
I woont, Cause I came too far

[Verse ]
Devil's Always wathing me(wathing me)
Evil's always stocking me(stocking me)
God has been protecting me(protecting me)
And thats how i got this far
Cause when you look at me you see an ANGEL
Can't belive i been throught half the things that i went through
Cause everyday i see your face( my face)
Keep gettin screwed by the human race( my race)
So, Please dont you judge me unless you know me
Cause I won't let you.

[Chorus]
I Won't let you lock me down
I Won't let you push me 'round
I Won't Let you stop me now
I Wooont , Cause i Came Too far

I Won't let you ruin my day
I won't let you stop my pain
I won't , Noo not today!
I woont, Cause I came too far

Came To far to turn back now( too far)
Came To Far to turn back now( too far)
Ain't no body gonna stop me( can't stop)
Ain't no body gonna stop me ( can't stop)

I Won't let you lock me down
I Won't let you push me 'round
I Won't let you stop me now
I Wooont , cause I came too far

I Won't let you ruin my day
I won't let you stop my pain
I won't , Noo not today!
I woont, Cause I came too far

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.
