Give It to Em
akon Lyrics

I have no choice but to win, cause I
I am determined to win, no matter what

Absolutely can't lose no way
Losing is not an option for me

Two hundred percent I am on my job
I am fully committed and dedicated to my work

Gettin' money ain't nothin' left to say
Making money is my top priority and I have nothing else to talk about

Get on your job with me, get on your job with me
Join me in working hard towards success

Ready for tomorrow if it ain't too late
Be prepared for the future, in case it comes sooner than expected

Cause when them people come lookin' for that money
Be prepared for the consequences of having money

Tell me man, what you gon' say
How will you handle the situation?

(give it to 'em)
Surrender the money to them

Know they kickin down your door just waving their four-four
Dangerous people are willing to use violence to obtain money

Ain't thinking about the law
Criminals do not care about the consequences of breaking the law

Only thing on they mind, is a little bit of shine
Their only concern is wealth and status

And a couple stacks stashed up in your top drawers
They are looking for cash that you have hidden away

(so, give it to 'em)
It is better to surrender the money than to risk your life

And they coming 'round the corner, five percent ?
They are approaching your location and may already be close by

Chevy creepin' real slow, you know the routine
They will approach quietly and methodically

Don't try to play magiver
Do not attempt to be clever or outsmart them

Sawed of shotgun pointin' out the window
They are armed and ready to use deadly force if necessary

Not to mention them crooked cops
Corrupt police officers can also cause trouble

Pull you over when you drop
They may stop you on the road to try to steal from you

On the side of the road, take all your word
They may take all of your possessions and leave you with nothing

Pocket all your dough
They will take all of your money

I ain't goin' through none of that no more
I refuse to be a victim and will take steps to protect myself

Shell toed adidas, all black lamborghini
I have achieved great success and can afford luxury items

Sexy thang ridin' with me, granting wishes like a genie
I am successful with women and they are drawn to me

Ain't no problem gettin' money, certified eight digits
I have no problem making a lot of money, and have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars

Street when it come to gettin' paper better (give it to 'em)
I am street-smart and know when to give in to criminals to protect myself

Started at poverty now they call us the pentacle
I come from humble beginnings and have achieved great success

Talkin' bugatti I blow it all on a vehicle
I can afford to spend millions of dollars on a luxury car

Millions in real-estate and the work that I administrate
I have invested in real estate and am successful in managing my businesses

When I smoke in the whip, peel the top just to vehicles
I enjoy smoking marijuana in my convertible and enjoying my success

Ain't no palm trees in the ghetto, yeah it's cloudy weather
I come from a difficult background and have overcome many challenges

But we shinin' bright as ever!
Despite the challenges, I am still shining and succeeding

I refuse to lose in any game I choose to play
I am determined to always come out on top, no matter the situation

Until I die, I gotta get it in a major way
I will continue to strive for success for the rest of my life

Akon saved the day
Akon's success and example have inspired me to achieve greatness
