Akon · Other Songs - Akon
Anyone in the place tonight you don't wanna be a witness
then walk away (Akon!!!)
Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight and anyone in my path will die today
By my AK!!! (Gunshot!!!) AK!
!! (Gunshot!!!) AK!!! (Gunshot!!!) AK!!! (Gunshot!!!)
Verse 1:
Have you ever spent one day on my block?!
Had to make good with crooked ass cops
Witness innocent bystanders get shot
Made a livin ready or not
(To stay true!!!) To all my N****s
Things gettin hard but we still grindin up
(To stay true!!!) To all my N****s
We done came up and cop cribs by the river
Before the feds came down on we

Maybe once stick around and trust you will see (That)
Chorus:
Anyone in the place tonight you don't wanna be a witness

Gun Short
Akon's "Gun Short" stands as a defining track from his 2006 album Konvicted, showcasing his evolution from pop-rap to a more polished, R&B-inflected sound. The song features a distinctive production style that blends hip-hop rhythms with melodic hooks, characteristic of the mid-2000s era when Akon solidified his status as a global pop icon. Released during a period of intense commercial success, the recording exemplifies his ability to craft anthemic tracks that appeal to broad audiences while maintaining a rhythmic complexity that distinguishes it from his earlier work. The song remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the high-energy, dance-oriented aesthetic that defined his career at the height of his popularity.
