Akon - Never Surrender lyrics

[Produced by StreetRunner & DJ Khaled] [Intro: DJ Khaled] Keep your circle tight Trust no one, nobody (nobody, nobody, no no no) DJ Khaled! [Verse 1: Scarface] Gotta be careful who you trusting Be aware of your surrounding when you hustling Them n***as smiling at you ain't your friends, dawg All the real ones are dead or in the pen y'all You f** with dude, he your day one Almost had it all then the day comes When they walking through your house with the strap out Pointing at your head, got the bread then you black out (yeah) Bright lights down the hallways Left his best friend for dead for the small wage (ay) They say that every dog's got a day coming It's like he seen a ghost but he ain't say nothing Eyes wide shut like you looking at me Window pane to the soul say they n***as happy But the pictures say them words we ain't trying to stomach The homie didn't keep it one hundred The cops doing roundups, say they got a suspect Finally got a name now, I'm stunned thinkin f** that (f**, that) For money, n***as murder what they close to (get this n***a) Entire families these motherf**ers ghost you Smoke you, was it worth what the life was? Just prepared for the payback because it strikes cuz Was it worth what that life was? Prepare for the payback when it strikes cuz [Bridge: John Legend] Cause when you need it the most ain't no one ever around Cold world, cold world [Verse 2: Jadakiss] Yo, the pain's unbearable, remains unawareable He f** around jump off a building if you dare him to The greats they done already k**ed him, who you compare him to To really figure out what he said will take a year or two Family over everything, sk**s over politics He don't need the accolades as long as you acknowledge it Just playing the hand you was dealt, no aces Betrayal is worse than d**h in most cases The world is filled with hypocrites, that's so racist Multiple shots to the face, No chasers Mad cause you blew up quick and you excited Your man that you grew up with get you indicted This was your n***a, yo, for him you let the trigger go Found out at the trial they got audio and video sh** don't always happen how you plan it Get jammed up and really find out who your fam is You could feel the picture, you don't need to see the canvas That n***a Jay'll Hawk you, he don't even play for Kansas You know when it's someone you love the hurt's pure You front tryna hold it in, it hurts more He was right there back-to-back with me, my first war Even had a crack spot together, the first floor Used to buzz em in then meet him right by the first door That was 'prolly a year before I went on my first tour Friendship was worth more than a couple of ounces You was 'sposed to be with me arguing with the bouncers Instead you ended up somewhere far in the mountains Talking 'about what we was doing, what we was counting Nothing but old pictures of old sixes Old BM's with the kits, old Schnitzer's Two sides, both wishes Karma is the sister of life, they both b**hes [Bridge 2: Anthony Hamilton] See there's a story in my life There's a story in my pain There's a story in my tears, ohh-ohh ohhh There's a story in me [Verse 3: Meek Mill] Yeah, for life Lord forgive me for my sins, I was chasin' ends And I'm into makin' money, I ain't in to making friends Cause these n***as rattin', I ain't finna take a chance Homie said he 'bout that action they grab him, he take the stand Damn, say loyalty make a man Got a homie and he told, I don't even shake his hand I don't even crack a smile, knew him since a child Man this game so foul but n***as made vows To a code I never break, ridin' in the heavy weight Thirty-six O's in a bird, call it feather weight Never on time, when I show up I be ready late n***as got fat while we starved they already ate And I'm trying to get full, masks on clips full If he got the money we attack him like a pitbull We sellin' soft, we sellin' hard like it's a brick store On my dick, n***a, thought that's what your b**h for Hah! [Bridge 3: Akon] My pain ain't never been told (ain't never been told) All the success that I'm suffering from Came from this knowledge I sold (this knowledge I know) My family f**s with me And fought the enemy that stood in my way (my way) That's why I don't trust nobody And I doubt you'll ever see that day [Hook: Akon (John Legend + Anthony Hamilton)] 'Fore I surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you, surrender to you Which I will never do [Bridge 4: John Legend & Anthony Hamilton] Cause when you need it the most ain't no one ever around (Nobody's around) Cold world (cold world), cold world (mmm, yes it is, yeah) And the ones that you keep close are the ones will take you down (Always take you down) Cold world (cooooold), a cold cold world [Hook: Akon (John Legend + Anthony Hamilton)] 'Fore I surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you, surrender to you Fore I surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you (surrender) Surrender to you, surrender to you Which I will never do [Breakdown: Akon] Ohh-ohhhh-ohhh-whooooa Ohh-ohhhhh (ohh-ohhhh) ohh-ohhhhh [Bridge 2: Anthony Hamilton] [Outro: John Legend] I won't surrender, I won't surrender, ohh no no no
