Akon Biography

Although he was born in St. Louis, Aliaune Thiam -- aka Akon -- grew up in Senegal before he and his family (including his father, jazz percussionist Mor Thiam) returned to the United States and settled in New Jersey when he was seven. There he discovered hip-hop for the first time, as well as crime. He was eventually jailed, but he used the time to work on his musical ideas. Upon release, Akon began writing and recording tracks in a home studio. The tapes found their way to SRC/Universal, which eventually released Trouble, Akon's debut LP, in June 2004. The album was an interesting hybrid of Akon's raps and silky, West African-styled vocals with East Coast- and Southern-styled beats. The success of the song "Locked Up" raised Akon's profile, and he followed up in the fall of 2006 with Konvicted. Soon enough, two of the album's singles, "I Wanna Love You" and "Smack That," had made their way to the upper regions of the Billboard charts. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Akon I am so paid lyrics

Akon I'm So Paid lyrics Ft. Lil Wayne:

Rubbing’ on that Italian leather
Dem’ convict jeans on!
Ay yo Weezy! You Ready? Yeah!

I get it in till sunrise doing 90 in a 65
Windows rolled down screaming ahhhhh
Hey-ey-ey… I’m so paid
Number 1 hustla get money
Why do you wanna count my money?
I’ma hustla don’t need them! One of them ya’ll see!

I‘m so paid

I see police on the crooked I
Doing a 100 on the Interstate 95
My shawty leanin’ blasting that do or die
Pushin’ that motherf@#kin’ wood cuz we certified
Got a system that’ll beat and knock your wall off
Got a pump under my seat, the sawed-off
Got a bunch of goons, hoping they never call off
I’m a sniper sitting on the roof already saw y’all
It ain’t too much to put a strain on me
That’s the reason why I had to put the blame on me
I rather have them dollar bills rain on me
Then let them haters come and make the name of me
That’s why

I get it in ‘till sunrise doing 90 in a 65
Windows rolled down screaming ahhhhh
Hey-ey-ey… I’m so paid
Number one hustla get money
Why do you wanna count my money?
I’ma hustla don’t need them! One of them ya’ll see!

I‘m so paid

I am the boss it only takes one call
For a driver to hit you up and drop you off that’s all
Guess what I won’t be taking that fall
Homie I got cake that’s what I’m paying them for
Aha!
Ain’t that funny? Cuz niggas want war but ain’t got money
Cuz I’ve seen them all talking ‘till they start gunnin’
Quicker than Usain Bolt the fastest thing running
Yeah! Akon! Weezy!
Block oil holdin’ down Jersey
Devine making sure we gettin’ it up front
My little brother Boo got that vision bake it!

I get it in till sunrise doing 90 in a 65
Windows rolled down screaming ahhhhh
Hey-ey-ey… I’m so paid
Number one hustla get money
Why do you wanna count my money?
I’ma hustla don’t need them! One of them ya’ll see!
I‘m so paid

Lil Wayne
Oh-oh,
Big money Weezy
White wife beater with the sig underneath it
How do I feel bitch I feel undefeated
Snap my fingers disappear from the precinct
Yea!
I’m ballin’ we ball out
Thoughts of we fallin’ until the ball bounce
I send some niggas with guns at y’all house
Only to find out you live in a doll house
Damn!
But I thought you was tough though
We carry choppers on our necks
Call it cut throat
We, bury cowards on the set that they come from
We know magic,
Turn weed smoke to gun smoke
We, ball first when we ride
You, in a hearse when you ride
Ay-yay
I put my shoe down baby
And I’m holding down Young Mula baby!
That’s why

I get it in till sunrise doing 90 in a 65
Windows rolled down screaming ahhhhh
Hey-ey-ey… I’m so paid
Number one hustla get money
Why do you wanna count my money?
I’ma hustla don’t need them! One of them ya’ll see!
I‘m so paid
