[Intro]
Okay (UpFront)
Akon, stay out of trouble now son
Akon, stay out of trouble now son
[Verse 1]
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 'cause they are afraid that
I'ma stick 'em up oh yeah stick it
Rob the manager and everybody in it
That's the everyday life of a convict tryin' to make it
While they sayin' to me
[Chorus]
The judge said don't trouble nobody
Probation say don't trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody
The judge said don't trouble nobody
Probation say don't trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody
[Verse 2]
Me and my niggas on the block all day clockin' dimes lookin' out for police
'Cause this the type of shit 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 I make 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 too many killings
I done seen the hardest niggas straight dropped to the ground and was never ever found, so
[Chorus]
The judge said don't trouble nobody
Probation say don't trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody
The judge said don't trouble nobody
Probation say don't trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody
[Verse 3]
I'm tryin' to stay away from trouble every day
But it's hard when the things you need
Picture lookin' at your babies in the face
When they hungry and they need to eat
I'm trying not to do wrong
But they won't let me do right
Even though I done changed my life
Criminal record's what they judging me by, that's why
[Chorus]
The judge said don't trouble nobody
Probation say don't trouble nobody
Stay out of trouble, don't trouble nobody
And I'ma 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'ma try not to trouble nobody (So I won't trouble nobody)
The judge said don't trouble nobody (Can't trouble nobody)
Probation say don't trouble nobody (Won't trouble nobody)
Stay outta trouble don't trouble nobody (Won't trouble nobody)
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody (So I won't trouble nobody)
Momma said don't trouble nobody (Can't trouble nobody)
Papa said don't trouble nobody (Won't trouble nobody)
Stay out of trouble don't trouble nobody (Won't trouble nobody)
And I'ma try not to trouble nobody (Yeah)
