Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Konvict, stand up
Salute, DeVyne Stevens
Upfront is in the buidling
Let's go
[Verse 2]
It's the Konvict album
Yeah, y'all done **** up now
I got money now, ****
I got enough money to free all the stars
[Verse 3]
He ain't lyin', if you selling, we ain't buying
If it's scattered on your block, then best believe that we supplyin'
From a **** down to half a pound, a quarter to a dime
Tryna own a piece of Brooklyn like my **** John Klein
Hey, you know me, I'm known to rock with it
Roll through your spot with it, post up, block with it
Hey, you know me, I'm on the block with it
Nonstop with it, violate and get popped with it
Hey, so I suggest you keep steppin' on me
'Cause you will rarely find me without my weapon on me
Got the whole Konvict squad betting on me
And now the dots around the world are now connecting on me
[Verse 4]
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Do I make myself clear, oh, hey?
[Verse 5]
A fleet of European cars in my driveway
Murcielago, Gallardo, Ferrari
My shorty ridin' shotgun bumpin' Sade
Toes hangin' out the window, loadin' up my ???
You know I keep a bad **** breathin' on me
Also known to have no business with no beefin' on me
And won't hesitate to cock it when them people on me
So guess what, no exceptions to you neither, homie
You know I got that African connection
Locked up in a facility correction
I'm a star, style chains hangin' like blow
Black royals up front, we in the place now
[Verse 6]
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Do I make myself clear, oh?
[Verse 7]
Now I'ma show you how to break this down
Peel back, show you how to shake this down
First **** to create this sound
Can't believe it took a convict to shake this town
Dippin' European linen with the V-neck
Diamond studded V V S S, no less
Kunta kinte bracelet lit up the whole set
My ****, we on deck, best believe it's no sweat
Need street credibility, who you go get
I give you that credibility for the right check
Keep your future on the shelf, quiet's where it's best kept
Don't want them up front shooters bringin' red light
[Verse 8]
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Hey now, a bunch of gangsters strapped
So make a wish now when they come wavin' them ****
You know to lay down and give 'em all you got
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
'Cause it's a shake down, oh
Do I make myself clear, oh?
