I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull
I just dropped a track bout to drop one right back
I just hit two hoes back to back two for two
I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull they two for two
Say u gettin money bitch me too
I was fallin outta line he pushed me thru
Money n bitches im gettin to
She with her friend she said my nigga can come too
Attitude shitty its number 2
Shouldnt b acting like that aint u 22
Aint her friend she with about the same age to
If she get the Boot her friend get
Booted too
We b in the streets until its two
In the 25 doing 22
Only 25 doing 22
Thats some time I can't afford to lose
Only couple things I like to do
One is get money one not for you
At two in the morning you chuck the duce
Double cup so you know she gettin loose
I just hit two hoes back to back two for two
I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull
I just dropped a track bout to drop one right back
I just hit two hoes back to back two for two
I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull
I just dropped a track bout to drop one right back
If she go for two im two she put two n two together we play two on two
Two on point with what I'm sayin got her in the mood
She was too in love with me I fall for few Prolly two
If its two for you its less for me
Two heads are better then one
Stunt double two seats lets double the fun
Too fly too geeked the best is yet to come
I woke up in a mirror propellers n twin drums
I just hit two hoes back to back two for two
I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull
I just dropped a track bout to drop one right back
I just hit two hoes back to back two for two
I just hit my plug bout to hit him Right back that's two for two
got two shootas in the back ready to pull
I just dropped a track bout to drop one right back
The lyrics to Akon's song "On My Trail" talk about his busy and fast-paced lifestyle, where he is always moving and hustling, hitting up his connections consecutively, and juggling money and women along the way. In the first verse, he talks about hitting up two women back to back, and then his plug (drug dealer) right after. He boasts about having two shooters in the back of his car, ready to pull out their guns if necessary. He also mentions that he just dropped a track and is about to release another one soon.
In the second verse, Akon seems to be flexing his wealth and success, saying that he is getting money and women without any trouble. He mentions that he was falling out of line at some point, and someone (presumably a friend or mentor) pushed him back on track. He is with a woman and her friend, and his "nigga" can come too. He tells the woman with a bad attitude that she shouldn't be acting that way and that she isn't 22 anymore. He also says that he likes to do two things - get money and something else that isn't for "you" (presumably referring to the women). He ends the verse by talking about his drink of choice, a double cup, and the fact that the woman he's with is getting loose.
Overall, the song paints a picture of Akon's lifestyle, full of money, women, and connections, and the constant hustle and grind to stay on top.
