Konvict, konvict

Stand up, salute

Devon Stephens

Upfront is in the building, let's go!

It's the konvict album, y'all done fucked up now

I got money now nigga (it's a shake down, oh)

I got enough money to free all the stars

He ain't lying, if you selling we ain't buying

If it's scattered on your block then best believe that we supplying

From a key down to a half a pound a quarter to a dime

Trying to own a piece of Brooklyn like my niggas John Klein

You know me, I'm known to rock with it

Roll through your spot with it

Post up block with it

You know me; I'm on the block with it

Non-stop with it, violate and get popped with it

So I suggest you keep stepping 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

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

You know to lay down, and give 'em all you got

'Cause it's a shake down, oh

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

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, hey, hey

A fleet of Europe cars in my driveway

Murciélago, Gallardo, Ferrari

My shorty riding shotgun bumping Sadie

Toes hanging out my window, loading up my army

You know I keep a bad bitch breathing on me

Also know to have no business with no beefing 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 changed hanging like blaow

Block royals Upfront, we in the place now

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

You know to lay down, and give 'em all you got

'Cause it's a shake down, oh

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

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

Now I'ma show you how to break this down

He'll back to show you how to shake this down

First nigga to create this sound

Can't believe it took the Konvict to shake this town

Dipping Europe linen with the v-net

Diamond studded VVS, no less

Kunta Kinte bracelet, lit up the whole set

My nigga we on deck, man 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, quit where it's best kept

Don't want them upfront shooters bringing red light

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

You know to lay down, and give 'em all you got

'Cause it's a shake down, oh

Hey now, a bunch of gangstas strapped

So make a way now, when they come waving them gats

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
