Gringo
akon Lyrics

Konvict music upfront
Introduction to the song's producer

Gotta get my block sold up... ya know me
The artist is trying to maintain a steady income from selling drugs

Eyo gringo, eyo gringo
Greetings to his supplier

I heard you want some marijuana
Asking if the supplier wants to purchase some marijuana

Want some pure white coca
Offering the supplier some pure cocaine

You see I've never been a smoker
The artist himself is not interested in consuming drugs

I'm just your neighborhood dealer
He is simply a dealer in the area

And I'm tryin' to keep my block sold up
Repeating his aim is to maintain a steady flow of drug sales

See I woke up early as hell one morning
Sharing a personal experience of waking up to find his drugs half depleted

'Cause these fiends can't stop smokin my rocks
The addicts in the area cannot resist buying drugs from him

'Cause lately around my way these n****s been warrin'
The area is currently experiencing conflict between drug dealers

Fightin' for teritory that's mine
The dealers are battling for control over his established drug market

'Cause these cats can't stop liquors or shots
The addicts cannot control their desire to use drugs

I'ma show you right now the only reason the block is movin'
The artist is confident that his drug sales are the main reason for activity in the area

I got dubs at the price of a dime
He offers a low price for drugs, allowing him to gain more customers

That's why I'm on top and it don't stop
He attributes his success in the drug market to his low prices

'Cause I get it so cheap no matter what I wont be losin'
He obtains drugs at a low cost, so he can continue selling at a low price without losing profit

Re-up spots is so hard to find
It is difficult for him to find reliable sources of drugs

But I got one cool ass mexican
He is able to successfully obtain drugs from a supplier he trusts

You can find me on the other side of the border
He travels to Mexico to get a fresh supply of drugs

With a hundred grand in my pocket
He brings a large amount of money to purchase drugs

For the first trip just pack a little bit
He advises himself to only bring enough drugs for the first trip to avoid getting caught by authorities

'Cause I'ma bring the work back by air or even by water
He is willing to take any route necessary to smuggle the drugs back to his area

Gotta play it safe cause they out there
He is aware of the risks involved in drug smuggling and takes necessary precautions

See I got so much clientele home waiting
He has several customers eagerly waiting for his return with fresh drugs

I can't just make one trip
He needs to travel multiple times to gather enough drugs for his customers

But I gotta get enough to supply the city
He wants to obtain as much drugs as possible to meet the demand in his area

But I gotta be careful smugglin' in
He recognizes the danger of getting caught by authorities while smuggling drugs

Vaseline Reynolds Wrap to hide the scent
He uses methods to avoid detection by hiding the odor of the drugs

Off on the next trip while I wait for Jose
He continues to gather drugs while waiting for his supplier to bring more

Cause I'm a konvict
Repeating himself as an introduction to his record label

Never gonna be a convict
He is confident that he will not get arrested and be put in jail for his drug dealings
