Okay, Akon stay out of trouble now son
Akon stay out of trouble now son

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 the job `cuz they are afraid that
I`m a stick `em up oh yea stick it
Rob the manager and everybody in it
Thats the everyday life of a convict tryin` to make it
Why they sayin` to me

The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody
The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody

Me and my ni**az on the block all day clockin`
Dimes lookin` out for police
`Cause this the type of s**t that we go through
Up in the ghetto just to make some cheese
Street life got me gettin` locked up about
5, 6 times a week and then a made bond
Take it from the profit of the weed
All this just to feed my seeds, yeah

I got a stop this livin`, I witness one to many killings
I`ve seen the hardest ni**az straight propped up
And a pound that`s never ever been found so

The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody
The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody

I`m tryin` to stay away from trouble everyday
But its hard when the things you need
Picture lookin` at your babies in the face
When they hungry and they need to eat

Tryin` not to do wrong, but they won`t let me do right
Even though I done changed my life
Criminal records what they judgin` me by
That`s why

The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody
Momma said don`t trouble nobody
Papa said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody

The judges said don`t trouble nobody
Probation said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody
Momma said don`t trouble nobody
Papa said don`t trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble don`t trouble nobody
And I`m a try not to trouble nobody
