So Fly
Akon feat. Blewz Lyrics

Count every blessin' While I'm scream'n out up front (Up front) Akon (Akon) Convict music (Music)
Acknowledging the blessings in life, while standing up and being vocal about it, Akon identifies himself and his label as the ones producing the music.

(Ya) Realize it ain't the life for me Always gettin' into trouble, 'cause, I'm so fly I'm on a whole nother level, left the block And now I'm smiling countin' money like (Ya)
Despite living life on the edge and constantly attracting trouble, the artist acknowledges that this is not the right path for him. He has moved on, found success somewhere else, and can now enjoy the fruits of his labor.

(Ya) Realize it ain't the life for me I done found another hustle 'cause, I'm so fly I'm living life a lot better Still keep a glock In case the jealous wanna hate tonight
The artist reiterates that he has found success by leaving behind the lifestyle that brought him nothing but trouble. He is still cautious and carries a weapon to protect himself from anyone who might envy his success.

Another day up in the hood Can't believe these cats still bangin' (Bangin') Look at the years we wasted On the corner block still slangin' (Slangin') No matter how much we try to make peace Gun shots still rangin' (Rangin')
Reflecting on the bad decisions they made, the artist acknowledges the waste of time and lives that come from the gang culture. Although they try to make peace, there is still violence in the neighborhood.

'Cause to be a hood legend You die first, then become famous 'Cause I done seen this type of thing before Just hangin' out by the corner store Stick up kids wit them guns galore Layin' there, body down, stretched on the floor
The artist points out the harsh reality of being a hood legend. Usually, people only become famous after they are dead. The artist remembers seeing criminal activity, such as armed robberies, resulting in the death of people right outside the neighborhood store.

I thought about it, man I'm way too fly To have a fella robbin' me outside That's why I keep that thing by my side And count every blessin' while I'm screamin' out
The artist believes he's too successful and important to be robbed or killed, so he always carries a weapon to protect himself. Despite the danger, he is still grateful for his blessings.

I hate to say it but the people That surrounding me are way too shady The only people I can trust Is my family and my lady
The artist admits that most people around him can't be trusted because they are too shady. He only trusts his family and girlfriend.

All my dogs got guns Ready for action They won't betray me Your the type to run Or to hold my tongue When it gets crazy
The artist's friends are prepared to use weapons to protect him and won't betray him. He doesn't trust others who might run away or not back him up in a dangerous situation.

See I been through this type of thing before Even had trouble with the law On the couch when the smash my door But they won't find the cash stashed under the floor
The artist has gone through experiences of being raided and arrested by the law. He mentions that even if they come looking for money during a search, they won't find it.

I never could understand it 'Cause I was the one to pull the shortest straw Couldn't live this type of life no more So I had a part of me screamin' out
The artist never understood why he had to struggle so much. He decided to leave behind the criminal lifestyle and move forward with a new purpose after realizing that life could be so much better.

I'm in blue, wit them BF frames Walkin' on lean, while mind chain hangs Drivin' somethin', pronounce mad strange Never mad cool, 'cause I been through flames Walk wit a limp, 'cause I been through games
The artist describes his fashion style and possessions, suggesting that he has a unique and expensive taste. He mentions that his life experiences haven't been easy, but he still manages to look cool despite it.

Now she's a ho, 'cause she been through gangs Beef wit ghats for a small chunk change I'm rich now, that's more chunk change The cops know slang
The artist refers to a woman who is considered a ho because of her association with gangs. He acknowledges that people may do questionable things for money, but his own financial status has improved significantly. He uses vocabulary that the police would be familiar with.

Man get the picture before you buy the frame Call me heart throb, 'cause I'm so fame Couldn't come close if you sat in my Range My scars can prove but I'm passion and pain
The artist advises listeners to understand everything about a situation before jumping in. He refers to himself as a heartthrob because of his fame and couldn't be reached even if someone sat in his car. He also mentions having scars which are a testament to his emotional depth and the struggles he's faced.

Realize it ain't the life for me Always gettin' into trouble, 'cause, I'm so fly I'm on a whole nother level, left the block And now I'm smiling countin' money like (Ya)
The artist repeats the chorus again, emphasizing that he's moved on from his old life and is now counting his blessings as he enjoys a new level of success.

Realize it ain't the life for me I done found another hustle 'cause, I'm so fly I'm living life a lot better Still keep a glock In case the jealous wanna hate tonight
The artist concludes with a reiteration that he's much happier now because he's found a more positive and rewarding way of hustling. He's still mindful of jealous people who may try to harm him, so he keeps a weapon for protection.
