[Intro]

Ok, Akon, Stay outta trouble now son, Akon, Stay outta trouble now son

[verse one]

Let me tell you what hurts the most, I'm a convicted felon and I can't work.
No matter where I go
I try to get paid, they never give me good job
cause they are afraid-that-I'ma stick 'em up,
Oh yes, stick it, rob the manager and everybody in it.
That's the everyday life of a
Convict-tryin to make it.
Why their saying to me -

[chorus 2x]

The judges said dont trouble nobody.
Probation said dont trouble nobody.
Stay outta trouble dont trouble nobody.
And i'ma try not to trouble nobody.

[verse two]

Me an' my niggas on the block all day - blocking dimes - lookin out for police.

some cheese.
The street type got me gettin locked up about 5-6 times a week.
And then I make mon'- take it from the profit of the weed.
All this just to feed my seeds (yeah.)

I gotta stop this livin. I witness one too many killings.
I don seen the hardest nigga street
Talk to the clown that was never ever found. Sooo

[chorus 2x]

The judges said dont trouble nobody.
Probation said dont trouble nobody.
Stay outta trouble dont trouble nobody.
And i'ma try not to trouble nobody.

[Verse three]

Picture lookin at your babies in the face when they hungry and they need to eat.
I'm tryin not to do wrong
But they wont let me do right.
Even tho I done changed my life criminal records' what they judging me by.
That's why
