Akon Lyrics
Akon lyrics reflect an unusual upbringing plus time in jail for armed robbery and drugs. Akon was born Aliaune Thiam in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Senegal, Africa until he was 7 years old when his family moved to Jersey City, New Jersey. Akon is a practicing Muslim living a polygamist lifestyle with three wives and drives a Lamborghini Gallardo.
In his young life, to date, Akon has spent five years in jail beginning at age 15, with separate convictions for grand theft auto and drug possession. In high school, Akon was known as a “bad boy”, being kicked out for selling guns and the answers to test questions. Akon has stated that he had learned a lot from his time in jail and this time allowed him to work on his lyrics and music.
On the Trouble album, the song “Locked Up” is autobiographical in the sense that the protagonist gets locked up in jail for car theft and drugs. He’s also trying to convince a lover (or ex-lover) to accept his phone calls because he’s in dire straits.
On the same album, “Lonely” samples Bobby Vinton’s music and lyrics on “Mr. Lonely”. Akon’s lyrics to “Lonely” talk about taking his lover for granted, feeling the deep loneliness without her, and wanting to make it up to her. It’s also a cautionary tale to the other brothers in the same situation not to do as the protagonist has done. The song and lyrics were written by Akon and G. Allen and became a worldwide hit in 2005.
On the Konvicted album, the song “Smack That” features fellow rapper Eminem. Some of the Akon lyrics are sexual as in the line, “And possibly bend you over look back and watch me.” The song is also somewhat autobiographical since it mentions the singer’s Lamborghini Gallardo and Akon does own one of these expensive, exotic cars.
The song, “I Want to Love You” is a song about lust originally written by a Florida rapper named Plies. Akon and Snoop Dogg changed some of the lyrics and dropped Plies from the credits due to back publicity that Plies and his band had brought upon themselves. The song lyrics are about the protagonist who notices a dancer at a strip bar and lusts after her as well as wanting to have a relationship with her. The F-word had to be removed from the title of the song and replaced with “Love” so that the single would be more commercially viable.
Akon is up for a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Rap / Sung Collaboration for the song “Smack That”.
[Intro: Akon]
Konvict
Konvict, Music, and you know we Upfront
[Chorus: Akon]
I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor
I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know, girl
[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
Money in the air as mo’ fell
Grab you by your coattail, take you to the motel, ho sale
Don’t tell, won’t tell
Baby say, “I don’t talk Dogg, then she told on me”, oh well
Take a picture with me, what the flick gon’ do?
Baby, stick to me, and I’ma stick on you
If you pick me, then I’ma pick on you
D-O double G and I’m here to put this d— on you
I’m stuck on p— and yours is right
Rip ridin’ the poles and them doors is tight
And I’ma get me a shot ‘fo the end of the night
‘Cause p— is p—, and baby, your p— for life
[Chorus: Akon]
I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor
I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know, girl
[Verse 2: Akon]
Shorty I can see, you ain’t lonely
Handful of n— and they all got cheese
See you lookin’ at me, now what it’s gon’ be?
Just another tease far as I can see
Tryna get you up out this club
If it means spendin’ a couple dubs
Throwin’ ’bout thirty stacks in the back
Make it rain like that ’cause I’m far from a scrub
And you know my pedigree
Ex-dealer use to move amphetamines
Girl I, spend money like it don’t mean nothing
And besides, I got a thing for you
[Chorus: Akon]
I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor
I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know, girl

[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg & Akon]
Mobbin’ through the club and I’m low pressin’
I’m sittin’ in the back in the smoker’s section (Just smokin’)
Bird’s eye, I got a clear view
You can’t see me, but I can see you (Baby, I see you)
Hmm, it’s cool, we jet, the mood is set
Your p— is wet, you’re rubbin’ your back and touchin’ your neck
Your body is movin’, you humpin’ and jumpin’
Your t— is bouncin’, you smilin’ and grinnin’ and lookin’ at me
[Verse 4: Akon]
Girl, and while you’re lookin’ at me, I’m ready to hit the caddy
Right up on the patio, move the patty to the caddy
Baby, you got a phatty, the type I like to marry
Wantin’ to just give you everything and that’s kinda scary
‘Cause I’m loving the way you shake your ass
Bouncin’ got me tippin’ my glass
Normally don’t get caught up too fast
But I got a thing for you
[Chorus: Akon]
I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor
I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I see you windin’ and grindin’ up on the floor
I know you see me lookin’ at you and you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know
I wanna love you (Love you) you already know, girl, girl
Verse 1]
It’s been so long
That I haven’t seen your face
I’m tryna be strong
But the strength I have is washin’ away
It won’t be long
Before I get you by my side
And just hold you, tease you, squeeze you
Tell you what’s been on my mind
[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
Wish we never broke up right now na na
We need to link up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
Wish we never broke up right now na na
We need to link up right now na na
[Verse 2]
Girl, I know
Mistakes were made between us two
And we showed our ass that night
Even said some things weren’t true
Watched you go
And haven’t seen my girl since then
Why can’t it be the way it was?
‘Cause you were my homie, lover, friend
[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
Wish we never broke up right now na na
We need to link up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
I wanna make up right now na na
Wish we never broke up right now na na
We need to link up right now na na
[Bridge]
I can’t lie (I miss you much)
Watching every day that goes by (I miss you much)
‘Til I get you back I’m gon’ try (Yes, I miss you much)
‘Cause you are the apple of my eye (Girl, I miss you much, I miss you much)
I can’t lie (I miss you much)
Watching every day that goes by (I miss you much)
‘Til I get you back I’m gon’ try (Yes, I miss you much)
‘Cause you are the apple of my eye (Girl, I miss you much, I miss you much)

Nobody thought we’d last forever

Things between us gon’ get better
Men steady comin’ after you
Women steady comin’ after me
Seems like everybody wanna go for self
And don’t wanna respect boundaries
Tellin’ you all those lies

But I must admit there was a couple secrets I held inside
Just know that I try to always apologize
But I’ma have you first, always in my heart to keep you satisfied

Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no mo’
You don’t even have to call
Even check for me at all
‘Cause the way I’ve been actin’ lately has been off the wall
Especially towards you, puttin’ girls before you
And they watchin’ everything I been doin’ just to hurt you
Most of it just ain’t true and they won’t show you
How much of a queen you are to me and why I love you, baby

Lonely Lyrics
[Chorus: Bobby Vinton]
Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Oh, I’m so lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Oh, I’m so lonely
[Intro: Akon]
Yo, this one here goes out
To all my players out there, man
You know, that got that one good girl, dawg
That’s always been there, man
Like, took all the bullshit
But then one day she can’t take it no more
And decides to leave me
[Verse 1: Akon]
Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn’t by my side
Could’ve sworn I was dreamin’
For her I was feenin’
So I had to take a little ride
Backtrackin’ on these few years
Tryin’ to figure out what I do to make it go bad
‘Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashin’, and I’m so…
[Chorus: Bobby Vinton & Akon]
Lonely (So lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (To call my own, girl)
Oh, I’m so lonely (So lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (To call my own, girl)
Oh, I’m so lonely
[Verse 2: Akon]
Can’t believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right out of my life
After all I put you through
You still stuck around and stayed by my side
What really hurt me is I broke your heart
Baby, you a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
‘Cause without you in my life, girl, I’m so…

Been all about the world
Ain’t never met a girl
That could take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come
Where you would get up and run

Ain’t no one in the globe I’d rather see
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy, but now so lonely
