[Intro:]
Akon and Ca$h, yea
Who walk on this
[Pre-Chorus:]
My life ain’t nothing to play with
And if you hate me
Ain’t nothing for me to come pull them acts off
Been around this ghetto shit all my life
And I don’t have a plan to stop now.
See I’m deeply rooted in every hood
And I’ma show you how we get down
[Chorus:]
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
[Verse:]
I wake up, thank God and grab my heat
I’m on my grind, I ain’t changed clothes in a week,
My trap bam in a line around the corner
We got it all, white dro in Arizona
See my life is like a movie, a movie,
No, this ain’t no fairytale,
Niggas really tryin to do me, do me
The choppas send em straight to hell
I keep a gun and I know I gotta bust first
And freeze up in your ass and you end up in the hearse,
Fuck stuntin, I ride rental cars every day
A nigga know you real and he know where you stay
You can get robbed thrown in the trunk and dumped on the side of the highway
I don’t know about yall but this is how it goes down around my way
[Pre-Chorus:]
My life ain’t nothing to play with
Ain’t nothing to wanna act out
And if you hate me
Ain’t nothing for me to come pull them acts off
Been around this ghetto shit all my life
And I don’t have a plan to stop now.
See I’m deeply rooted in every hood
And I’ma show you how we get down
[Chorus:]
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
[Verse:]
Money on my mind, I’m trying to stack bread
I know they’re taking pictures, I post for the feds
They tryin’ to light me up, I know they wish they could
‘Cause one snitch can ruin the whole neighborhood,
I’m in the cemetery dunk, we can bam in yo trunk
I know they’re watching me
Diamonds all in my chain and my pockets got the loots
Got yo girl stalkin me
You gotta watch upon the jack boys that gon lurk
If you don’t give em what they want then they gonna murk
My money getting low, I gotta make a move,
Had to rail, had to run up on one of you fools
You can get robbed thrown in the trunk and dumped on the side of the highway
I don’t know about yall but this is how it goes down around my way
[Pre-Chorus:]
My life ain’t nothing to play with
Ain’t nothing to wanna act out
And if you hate me
Ain’t nothing for me to come pull them acts off
Been around this ghetto shit all my life
And I don’t have a plan to stop now.
See I’m deeply rooted in every hood
And I’ma show you how we get down
[Chorus:]
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
[Bridge:]
To all my niggas on the street corners
Put your 40 ounce up
Let’s pour it up for those who ain’t here
When all the earth just drink it on up
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’ve been down
Watch the strongest men hit the ground
That’s just all what I’ve seen in this lifetime
Let me break it down just one time.
[Pre-Chorus:]
My life ain’t nothing to play with
Ain’t nothing to wanna act out
And if you hate me
Ain’t nothing for me to come pull them acts off
Been around this ghetto shit all my life
And I don’t have a plan to stop now.
See I’m deeply rooted in every hood
And I’ma show you how we get down
[Chorus:]
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
The song "Around My Way" by Joey Galaxy featuring Akon is a track that provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of living in the ghetto. The lyrics provide a raw and unfiltered view of life on the streets and the challenges that come with it. The song is an ode to the struggles that people face in the ghettos and how they strive to make a living every day.
The first verse talks about waking up and grabbing a gun, being on the grind all week and not changing clothes, and running trap lines. The next verse talks about the constant fear of being robbed or killed and how the only way to stay safe is to be just as tough as the people around you. The chorus repeats the phrase "around my way" to emphasize that the struggles and hardships depicted in the song are commonplace in many poor communities across the country.
The pre-chorus and bridge highlight that the dangers of living in the ghetto can hit anybody, including the strongest and toughest men. The song ends with a resolution to keep living and striving despite everything. The song succeeds in capturing the street culture and the day-to-day realities of life in the ghetto.

Who walk on this
Not clear what this means
My life ain’t nothing to play with
My life is serious and not to be taken lightly
Ain’t nothing to wanna act out
There's no reason to want to act out in my life
And if you hate me
If you hate me
Ain’t nothing for me to come pull them acts off
I won't hesitate to retaliate if you disrespect me
Been around this ghetto shit all my life
I've been exposed to the harsh realities of the ghetto my whole life
And I don’t have a plan to stop now.
I don't plan to stop living my life this way
See I’m deeply rooted in every hood
I'm well-known and respected in every neighborhood
And I’ma show you how we get down
I'm going to demonstrate how things are done in my neighborhood
Around my way, I’ma show you how we get down
I'll show you how things are done in my area
Around my way, see I’ma show you how we get down
I'll show you how things are done in my area
I wake up, thank God and grab my heat
I start my day with gratitude and make sure I'm armed
I’m on my grind, I ain’t changed clothes in a week,
I'm working hard and haven't had time to change clothes
My trap bam in a line around the corner
People are lining up to buy drugs from me
We got it all, white dro in Arizona
We have every drug available, including white drugs in Arizona
See my life is like a movie, a movie,
My life is like a movie
No, this ain’t no fairytale,
This is real life, not a fairytale
Niggas really tryin to do me, do me
People are really trying to harm me
The choppas send em straight to hell
I use guns to protect myself and send my enemies to hell
I keep a gun and I know I gotta bust first
I always keep a gun and know that I have to use it first if I want to survive
And freeze up in your ass and you end up in the hearse,
If you hesitate, you'll soon find yourself dead and in a coffin
Fuck stuntin, I ride rental cars every day
I don't care about showing off, I drive rental cars every day
A nigga know you real and he know where you stay
People know if you're authentic and where you live
You can get robbed thrown in the trunk and dumped on the side of the highway
You can easily become a victim of robbery and be left for dead
I don’t know about yall but this is how it goes down around my way
I don't know about you, but this is how things are done in my neighborhood
Money on my mind, I’m trying to stack bread
I'm focused on making money and trying to accumulate wealth
I know they’re taking pictures, I post for the feds
I'm aware that law enforcement is watching me and I act accordingly
They tryin’ to light me up, I know they wish they could
They're trying to incriminate me, but they can't
‘Cause one snitch can ruin the whole neighborhood,
One person who cooperates with the police can ruin the lives of everyone in the neighborhood
I’m in the cemetery dunk, we can bam in yo trunk
I'm always prepared for violence and can easily put someone in the trunk of a car
I know they’re watching me
I'm aware that people are keeping an eye on me
Diamonds all in my chain and my pockets got the loots
I have expensive jewelry and a lot of money in my pockets
Got yo girl stalkin me
People's girlfriends are showing interest in me
You gotta watch upon the jack boys that gon lurk
You have to be careful of those who are waiting to rob you
If you don’t give em what they want then they gonna murk
If you don't give them what they want, they'll likely kill you
My money getting low, I gotta make a move,
I'm running out of money and need to do something about it
Had to rail, had to run up on one of you fools
I had to resort to violence and take action against someone who wronged me
To all my niggas on the street corners
Message to all of my friends on the street corners
Put your 40 ounce up
Raise your 40 oz in the air
Let’s pour it up for those who ain’t here
Let's have a drink in memory of those who are no longer with us
When all the earth just drink it on up
Drink up, because life is short
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’ve been down
I've experienced hard times before
Watch the strongest men hit the ground
Even the strongest people sometimes fall
That’s just all what I’ve seen in this lifetime
These are just my observations from my experiences in life
Let me break it down just one time.
Let me explain it to you once.
