Akon - Locked Up Music Videos and Lyrics



[AKON]
Im steady tryna find a motive,
Why do what i do?,
Freedom aint gettin no closer,
No matter how far i go,
My car is stolen, no registration,
Cops patrolin, and now they done stop me,
And i get locked up,

[Chorus]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

[Akon]
Headin up town to ria,
Back with a couple peeps,
Caught a blocks on fire,
Under covers dressed as fiends,
Makin so much money,
Ride up smooth and fast,
Put away the stash,
And as i sold the last bag fucked around and got locked up

[CHORUS]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (my nigga im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out, (i got locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (baby girl im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

Cuz visitation no longer comes by,
Seems like they forgot about me,
Commissary is getting empty,
My cell mates getting food without me,
Can't wait to get out and move forward with my life,
Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right
But instead Im here locked up

[CHORUS]
They won't let me out, they won't let me out,
(ohhh im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they wont let me out,
(my nigga im locked up)
They won't let me out, they won't let me out, (im locked up)
They won't let me out no, they won't let me out

Maybe a visit (they won't let me out)
Send me some magazines (they won't let me out)
Send me some money orders (they won't let me out, no)
Maybe a visit baby (they won't let me out)
Cuz im locked up, they won't let me out.
Wheres my lawyer? (they won't let me out)
Im locked up, they won't let me out, no.
Get me outta here (they won't let me out)
Im locked up, they won't let me out, they won't let me out.
Baby Im locked up they won't let me out, no
Where's my niggaz?
On the lock-down.
Damn, im locked up, they won't let me out.
Im locked up, they won't let me out.
Ohhh... they won't let me out.
Can you please accept my phone calls?
Cuz Im locked up, locked up, locked up.

Akon - Right Now (Na Na Na) Music Videos And Lyrics



[Intro/Verse1]
It's been so long,
that I haven't seen your face,
I'm trying to be strong,
but the strength I have is washing away.
it won't be long,
before I get you by my side,
and just hold you, tease you, squeeze you, tell you what's been on my mind.

[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,

[Verse2]
Girl I know, mistakes were made between us two,
and we showed,
ourselves that night, even said somethings weren't true,
why'd you go?
and haven't seen my girl since then,
why can't it be the way it was,
cause you were my Homie, lover, and friend...

[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,


[Bridge]
I can't lie, [miss you much]
watching everyday that goes by, [ I miss you much ]
till I get you back I'm gon' try, [ yes I miss you much ]
cuz you are the apple of my eye, [ girl I miss you much ]
I can't lie, [ I miss you much ]
watching everyday that goes by, [ I miss you much ]
till I get you back I'm gon' try, [ yes I miss you much ]
cuz you are the apple of my eye. [ girl I miss you much ]

[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,

I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,

[Outro]
I want you to fly with me, [ want you to fly ]
I miss how you lie with me, [ miss how you lie ]
just wish you could dine with me, [ wish you could dine with me ]
the one that'll grind with me, [ said the one that will grind with me ]
I want you to fly with me, [ want you to fly ]
I miss how you lie with me, [ ohh miss how you lie ]
just wish you could dine with me, [ wish you could dine ]
the one that'll grind with me. [ ohh the one that'll grind]...

[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
we need to link up right now na na,
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make love right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,
