Akon Blown Away Lyrics

Blown Away Lyrics

Cheh, crazy, it's one of those things man

You gotta experience to know what I'm talkin' about

It's where the goin' get rough, Akon

The tough stay tough, Styles P, up front, let's go, konvict



We in too deep to turn back now D, sure is

Watch yourself before you get blown away



You know where I come from

The place where your fate is a mic or a bull or a dum dum

A jail cell a pine box and brothers is dumb young, young boys

Still bustin' guns for the slum that they come from



Cops is the only ones they gon' run from, that's it

They puttin' they hood up but 9 out of 10 of us ain't got good luck

You gon' ride on a man and catch 25

(Blown away)

Or get hit and get sent to the other side



You lose both sides of the coin

So me I play the hood baby not in the groin

Mama got a little church I could join but I didn't go yet

Man got a mosque I could join but I didn't go yet



Cool with the devil on my back, I'm in cold sweats

'Bout to do some dirt in some dirty black old sweats

If you known you shoulda shown the way

Mosta the hood 'bout to get blown away



'Cause I was raised up to show no fear

Cowardly hearts'll never last long here

If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear

Guaranteed you'll get blown away



'Cause I done seen the block break down tears

And I done seen the cops break my peers

Tryin' to hold on to couple more years

Tryin' not to get blown away



See I ain't never shot nobody but I'm known for fightin'

So when I strike man you'll think you been struck by lightning

Shouldn't have to prove myself by killin' a ***

Even a child can take it like by pull the trigga



Retaliation only takes anger mixed with passion

So you target in the distance and keep on blastin'

They say guns don't kill people, people do

So when you're hit man you feel that s*** the evils do



Can't see myself get beat down my eyes swollen

Mom's cryin' they don't know what happened, my pride's stolen

If I ain't got my heat then I got a blade

That hit you off me, so



I was raised up to show no fear

Cowardly hearts'll never last long here

If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear

Guaranteed you'll get blown away



'Cause I done seen the block break down tears

And I done seen the cops break my peers

Tryin' to hold on to couple more years

Tryin' not to get blown away



Keep my eye out for jakes, ears to the streets

Other eye out for snakes and these scandalous freaks

If we ain't on good terms don't bother to speak

Don't smile and try to spark a convo with me



Same thing'll make you laugh it'll make you cry

This quiet ***, he'll take ya life

Hate for it to be the world's sacrifice

If somebody else could travel  through the tunnel of life



'Cause I'm that type of guy I'll be there when you're ridin'

But I'll stay to myself

So if you see me out there with a bear we fightin'

N**** then go help the bear



'Cause I was raised up to show no fear

Cowardly hearts'll never last long here

If you ain't man enough to make s*** clear

Guaranteed you'll get blown away



'Cause I done seen the block break down tears

And I done seen the cops break my peers

Tryin' to hold on to couple more years

Tryin' not to get blown away
