Keeping Me Honest
You know what I'm saying
Uh huh
Look
I wrote this thing in 2021
but these words are
supposed to be timeless
Everybody claiming this year
is their time
until the time hits
Not to mention the niggas
that flex the rollies
with the diamonds and
pour water on their wrist
but they couldn't tell you
what the time is
So you tell me how
they know it's their time then
In 2020 all my niggas
visited my timeshare
Out in Jamaica
While Peej setting up
some photos for Fader
Who knows
where commitment can take us
That's the same thing
my last girl would always be saying
Damn she was a zeta
We had a lot of trial and error
like the clubhouse beta
Communication issues
that we'll probably just talk about later
My little hot head hot skull
but you know I never berate her
But getting back to business
I'll let you niggas bask in your glory
Cause two grand billboards
at yonge and dundas is
the end of your story
I swear that life isn't for me
That's why I keep my dog ben around
just so he can assure me
I can't have you around me
I've had enough
I need you to be man enough to see
(to see)
what you do to me
You're holding me back
holding me back (holding me back)
I need you to fall back (fall back)
You focus on you and I will focus on me
That's how it has to be
A lot of people are probably
not going to get the reference
But shout out all my street niggas
with elegance
The ones that be hustling
with intelligence
Could walk into a room and
speak with eloquence
Be setting rules and laws
just like they precedence
Sorry
Let me catch my breath again
Shit, damn
What was I telling em
I don't know
but it's probably irrelevant
You ever thought how funny it is
that niggas will kill themselves
to stay relevant
Ha ha
T told me line em up
I'll knock em down
Thats been my cuz since long before
we was the hottest sound
See when it's time to get things done
i know whos not around
I swear I can see through you
niggas just like an ultrasound
Never stop being a good person
because of bad people
And never argue with youths
that's not your equal
that should be illegal
Just some words of advice
That my brother said
And i'm sharing this with you
in hopes that you know
yall niggas can get ahead
Baby its not working
I know you see I'm hurting
Don't need nobody else I'm certain
I'm doing everything with purpose
And baby I know I ain't been perfect
But I'm perfect for you
You do what you have to do
You focus on you and
imma focus on me
That's how it has to be
Uh huh
