(Bob Morris - Don Rich)
Vocal: Don Rich
If you gonna keep on your keepin' on
Hurtin' me the way you do
One of these days babe I'm a gonna be gone
If you gonna keep on keepin' on your keepin' on.
You leave the house don't tell me where you're goin'
And you don't get home till the way past two
I think you oughta be knowin' this ol' country boy ain't a snowin'
And I'm gonna lay the law right down to you.
If you gonna keep on your keepin' on
Hurtin' me the way you do
One of these days babe I'm a gonna be gone
If you gonna keep on keepin' on your keepin' on.
Too late that ol' telephone's been ringin'
Some guy wants to know if the coast is clear
Well, it seemed to me that it's suspicious sound of question
'Cause as far as I know there ain't no coast guard around here.
If you gonna keep on your keepin' on
Hurtin' me the way you do
One of these days babe I'm a gonna be gone
If you gonna keep on keepin' on your keepin' on.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I'm sick and tired you're doin' me like you do me
But that's what I think I have to pace
I think I'll find me a place where I'll be more appreaciated
And I'll leave you here with ache all over your face.
And if you gonna keep on your keepin' on
Hurtin' me the way you do
One of these days babe I'm a gonna be gone
If you gonna keep on keepin' on your keepin' on...

Say we got to keep
Keep on
Keep you sense of direction
There's no two ways about it
There's nothing left to say
If only you'd paid attention
Then things wouldn't be this way
Crazy paved with good intentions
Is the rut that you're stuck in
So that all that's left to fear
Is the enemy within
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
Spare me your hypocrisy
I haven't got the time
For unreasonable reason's
More a punishment than crime
We all can take cold comfort
Now the writing's on the wall
But the pill that's left to swallow
Is the bitterest of all
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
One more Pyrrhic victory
Another dodgy deal
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
One more Pyrrhic victory
Another dodgy deal
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
One more Pyrrhic victory
Another dodgy deal
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
Nothing wrong with self-expression baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
Suffer from a little depression baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind up
You know I'm gonna keep on, gonna keep on
Nowhere else to go
I like it with the heat on, so put the heat on
I get there on my own
You know I'm gonna ride it, I won't hide it
I told you all along
But none of that don't matter, let's get it on
'Cos it pays to do your best
Do it better than the rest
And I hate to say I'm wrong,
I can see what's going on
And at times it makes me mad
'Cos this thing is all I have
Got to see a way,
Oh, how I love it, how I love it
It's a way to pay the bills
But I need to get my thrills
Just until I'm satisfied
But I need to feel alive
You gotta hurt before you heal
Take a dream and make it real
I've been waiting too long
Hey I'm coming, hey I'm coming
Like a diamond in the rough
Keep on 'til I've had enough
Gonna shimmer like the sun
I can warm up everyone
It's coming like a miracle
When you rise you never fall
I've been waiting so long
Hey it's coming, hey it's coming
Why wait, what you holding on for?
I just go around and around
It isn't gonna take too long
It's late, but not too late
It's time for reaching out
Somebody's gonna take me away
You gotta hurt before you heal
Take a dream and make it real
I've been waiting too long
Hey I'm coming, hey I'm coming
Keep on, keep on
Gonna keep on
Mama
When you coming home
Mama
When you coming home
Mama
You don't have to roam
Mama
You know you're coming home

You know you might find
Somethin' over there
Gonna blow your mind

I, I'm stuck in love with you
I can't bend these pimping rules
No more than I been flexing them
Buddy love, Spandexing and if you ain't know
I play by rules an I'm ma keep on
At least that the plan but if you keep on
I might be forced to leave game alone
(You hot like fire)
It hurts to the touch
You burning pimp my game
(I'm avoiding)
Long talks on the phone
'Cause you might have me gone
My lady, if you keep on
(On, on, on, on)
Moving your hips right, my lover, keep on
Smacking your lips right, my lover, keep on
Calling me papi, my lover, keep on
Thinking 'bout me, my lover, keep on
Rocking Prada, my lover, keep on
Working it out ma, my lover, keep on
Doing your damn thing, my lover, keep on
Making me sing this song about you
No captain save her, my moor dawdle goings
The genie in a bottle, lucky sevens that hit the solid coins
That's all I was, tipping my frame, had a different dip or a dame
Trip over game till they fall in love, had pretty women kiss the ring
Pecking the kicks, bet I'm convinced
I'm everything they wished and dreamed
You was more than just a fish on string
Earned a crown that was fit for queens, you a fix for feens
Know what I mean? Got a dude sick to spleen
Type a girl that could pose for king
(Listen, listen)
You got a body let me pick your brain
Get with dude, get this fame
Ditch your man, shake that lame
Come and take exotic trips
And exclusive whips with the premium bang
Hitting the autobahn, got us shifting lanes
Swear to God, just keep doing your thing
Just
(My lover, keep on)
Keep on
Got me in love with you, I'm telling me
All the things you can do for me
To bring my change when you buy my money
I cop the range and now you ride with me
You doing things that make me wanna keep the range
Parked outside when the sun's high
And I love the range but I can't lie
(You've got me higher)
Than I've ever been with any other woman
(I'm resigning)
Form this pimp game
Might see this pimping change if you keep on
(On, on, on, on)
Moving your hips right, my lover, keep on
Smacking your lips right, my lover, keep on
Calling me papi, my lover, keep on
Thinking 'bout me, my lover, keep on
Rocking Prada, my lover, keep on
Working it out ma, my lover, keep on
Doing your damn thing, my lover, keep on
Making me sing this song about you
You got me from them things you do
Baby, when you do what you do, when you put it on me
You've got me finding myself going crazy
I'm on my way to leaving this game alone if you keep on
Moving your hips right, smacking your lips right
Calling me papi, thinking 'bout me
Rocking prada working it out, ma
"Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop"
I knew from jump that my shit was gonna hit
'Cause I spoke to Dione Warick and she put me on some psychic shit
She said be careful 'cause these girls be throwin' block
I said," D don't even worry I sweat no girl for they stank box"
I like drinkin' honey, hit me a 5-1-6, what's a 5-1-6?
Long Island, you dumb bitch
When it comes to this my style flows free like Willy
Watch me grab the cream like them Beverly Hill Billy
I know you're happy with the shit you just bought
It's the greatest return since Jordan hit the court
Because my style changes frequently
See I been shit talkin' mics since the days of delinquency
Now I'm still the same low down gold teeth and Gortex
And on occasion with the ruff sex
Stud Doogie heats it up like a flannel
'Cause he's smooth as wall panel
Hits the one and two like a freebee channel
I have no time for bullshitters, I get bad honies jitters
As I walk be all the chicken head critters
I got more funk then En Vogue got junk in they trunk
My flow hits ya like a filthy piece of skunk
So Alley get the scomma from the dodge spot
Put it in the L and get high like an astronaut
"Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop"
Now see they call me Mr.Mingo
Got a girl but I'm still single
Honies scream my name like they just won bingo
(Puba)
I take 'em out for a dinner or a show
But you know how the rest go, hey man, no doe
You know the type you go out a few nights
They sweat your pockets tight
'Cause they rock they're rockers right
Go away little girl you gets nothing
But here take a bufferin' to ease your pain and sufferin'
'Cause I'm so aware of too many things
I know what I know if ya know what I mean
Come clean because I'm a fiend for a beat and a theme
Comin' strong like Hakeem and it ain't a dream
Now is it me or is this hittin' like Tyson?
Like a plate of beans and rice I be a needy winds on ice
And Grand Puba, Stud Doogie on the nights
I bag the dumb we hit a nut
And then we back up in her guts
See I get down and dirty like an arceologist
I get deep into your mind like a psychologist
I hit brothers in the head with the real
Bag honies like a charm cause Grand Puba is the bomb
So come on baby there's no need to play dumber
Or I be comin' around your nostrils when I 'cum
So check it out now
"Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop
Check it out ch'all and you don't stop, keep on and you don't stop

The bullets fly beneath the sun
Precision guidance freedom comes
When the boss begins
To break the rules we made
Gun control is what we need
To keep the terrorists we've seen
Hiding in their hills
And always running
And I'll keep on with what I want
No point in always hiding
And I'll keep on with what I want
No point in never trying
Embedded news reports at home
We've experienced it all
Not for the first time
We get to save our souls
This is the advertisers dream
Kmart sells to keep you clean
Stockpiled high because
They know you'll need it
Aljazerah news is free
But I tune into the BBC
Time Warner is AO Hell
Keeps us happy keeps us well
Microsoft keep playing hard
Secure Services at heart
Recording everything they see
[Verse 1:]
Jah will protect the people you know
From all poverty and distress
Yes Jah
Thanks and praise...Rastafari
Tell every Nation you know
People of the world
Oooooohh Yeaaaaaahh
[Chorus:]
Keeeeeep Ooooon
Shining light within
I'll share my joys with anyone
As long as they are free
[Repeat]
[Verse 2:]
Cause on and on we gooooo
It's not an easy road
Jah is here with meeeeeee
Woooooa whoooa
Thy rod and thy staff
Shall comfort meeeeee
Dayyyyys of my liiiiiife

He's my light
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
It's a foggy foggy roooooooaaad

Sinnnnging songs of redemmmmption
My people i need your full attennnntion
Why why wooooa
To set me free
Ooooohhhh yeeeeea
Wo yow wo yow wo yow eeeeh
[Chorus]
[Verse 4:]
Ooooooh oh ohhhhhhhhh
Oh ooooooohhhhh
Yeaaa yeaaa yeaaa
Cause once upon a tiiiiime
It wasn't like this
It was muuuuuch betttttter
There is a steep mountatin to climmmmmb
A faaaaar way to goooo
Get yourself toooogether
Verse 1
Yeah I see you over there makin' eyes at me
Like you don't wanna get caught
Where'd you get the cowboy on your arm
And where you want me to drop him off
I see you tryin' to hide that fire inside
But your hold me back's almost gone
Yeah it's about time I let cowboy know
That I'm a gonna take you home
Chorus 1
Yeah so keep on lookin' at me that way
That way we can move this along
I can tell yout what I got here on my mind
But I think you already know
Yeah and now's the time for you to turn around
If you want me to walk away
Or you can keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Verse 2
Yeah I can tell by the way I took your hand
And then asked you to dance
He went all John Wayne in front of his friends
And said I don't think so man
Yeah all blowed up like a loud mouth pup
Never been in a junkyard fight
But if you're gonna bark at the big dog boy
Then you're gonna get to feel the bite
Chorus 2
Yeah so keep on lookin' at me that way
That way we can move this along
I can finish sweepin' her off her pretty little feet
And your buddies can carry you home
You can back off and let her dance with me
And live to fight another day
Or you can keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Verse 3
Yeah I love the way the sun's comin' through
And bouncin' off the small of your back
Yeah I know if I call in sick today
Boss man will have a heart attack
Yeah I knew it was over when she rolled over
And said baby why don't you stay
And keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that,
Everybody knows, or has a story bout the first one
Who taught them how to hurt, and led their hopes astray
When its gone on quite enough and your sick of staying
down
I know what you need, but you gotta live it like it
sounds
[Chorus:]
When you lose what you love, live on live on
When the road gets too rough, be strong, be strong
What you can't understand, but you're starting to see
it'll work in the end, you just got to believe
And keep on, keep on
Keep on keep on
I had my ideals, my plans so cut and dry
I wouldn't settle for a thing
And you can forget all compromise
But I was tackled like a wave, stormed on like the ground
What once would never change, was slowly turning 'round
[Chorus]
You can take it from me, there's so much you can be
And it's all gonna change, whether it's you or them or me
Keep on hoping
Keep on coping
Get out of your bed and get yourself moving
Keep on waiting
Keep on saying
Tomorrow will bring some better things
Sometimes it goes from bad to worse
Feels like your heart is about to burst
And it all comes down on you like a ton of bricks
There's times you feel like you're gonna brake
And you don't know how much more you can take
Is it in you, can you make it through the day
You gotta outlive the long dark night
Persevere and see the light
And only then my friend you'll understand
What life is worth
Theres days when you just feel alone
Like an outcast from a speeding world
You've been bruised and battered,
beat and left behind
You've stayed down for the count once more
Like they saw your face and just slammed the door
So you look into your past of brighter days
You gotta outlive the long dark night
Persevere and see the light
And only then my friend you'll understand
What life is worth
Keep on hoping
Keep on coping
Get out of your bed and get yourself moving
Keep on waiting
Keep on saying
Keep on, keep on girl, it's on and poppin'
Keep on, keep on, ain't no need for stoppin'
Keep on, keep on, just do it if you like it
Keep on, keep on, 'cause I like it
The party's at my house
It's on and poppin' till the break of dawn
I'm in need and want
Of someone special, you might be the one for me
Every time you walk my way
Girl, you know I've got to say, say ooh
Every time you look my way
Girl, you know I've got to say, say ooh
Have I seen your smile before
I think I saw you in my dream last night
Don't blame me for calling you up, baby
This opportunity I can't ignore
Every time you walk my way
Girl, you know I've got to say, say ooh
Every time you look my way
Girl, you know I've got to say, say ooh
I see the fellas here
From down the street
So tell me ladies
If you're down with me
We all can kick it like we family
If you're with me then feel me when I say
Girl, I like the way you do your thing
That's why I kick the rap and the homeboys sing
When I get deep, I'll put a rock on your ring
You could be my queen and I could be the king
Yeah, you can laugh, 'cause it sounds kinda funny
But the man you're with now, he don't got money
He don't treat you right, I'll love you like there's 4 of me
Again and again and again I get tested
Feels like the walls are closing in I can't escape it
It's everywhere I turn so I can't run from it
So many things I see make me sick to my stomach
Feel compassion and pain look at the world with disdain
But know that I'm part of the problem and it drives me
insane
I see no light at the end of the tunnel
So I take no solace in a bullshit empty promise
So what the fuck am I supposed to do
But live like I got nothing left to lose
Again and again and again there's no end
To the bullshit and the drama and the fake fucking
friends
It's me against the world I've made my peace with that
But fighting through this life alone I find no peace in
that.
Day after day I get more disillusioned
With every fuckin' person on earth myself included
Everybody's got there demons to battle
I just don't know how much more of this shit I can
handle.
I feel the weight of the world and the pressures so
great,
I can feel my heart break every step that I take
But I keep on yeah I gotta be strong,
Gotta make my momma proud, I gotta be my father's son.
I keep on
I keep on
Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You're doing just fine, keep on keepin' on
Keep in mind the difference between courage and will
Don't be afraid to stop what you've begun
These straight folks think that winning, gives them license to kill
But number good is better than number one
Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You're doing just fine, keep on keepin' on
The eye that cast dispersions on the quiet way of life
Is lost among the past and partly blind
And aggressive undermining of what you know is right
Is the work of fools who think without their mind
Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You're doing just fine, keep on keepin' on
With a gentle overturning of the darkness for the light
Extend yourself with caution to the call
And should tomorrow find you, moving slowly through the night
Don't let their cries of terror make you fall
Consider the source and ignore if you can
Whatever is said to undo the plan
Consider the source and ignore it, my friend
You're doing just fine, keep on keepin' on
You're doing just fine, keep on keepin' on
[Pacewon]
What you want wit the underground kings from the Bricks
I've been at it since Clyde Frazier played for the Knicks
Packin' 3-5-7's wit the raw hide grips
Rollin' 4-5-6 on ya cross eyed tricks
War type shit, so get off my dick
I'm wet like Pirelli's on the vet
Here I go, pull up in the stretch
Ballin' like the Nets, like ten pass ya marks on my net
Woman love me, wantin' lust for me like people do money
They hungry, I might start livin' too lully
Got a A+ average and I'm bound to make honor roll
Jumpin' in and out of holes, lives like geronimo
Put it on wax, make it sound kinda comical
Bitches listen to it while they work they abdominals
G's listen to it while they out playin' dominoes
Outsidaz try'nna match the face on the article
[Chorus: Young Zee]
To my people from the Bricks keep on
Everybody up in Jerz, keep on
And it wont be long til the Outz invade
So we came to sing this sing
[Hook: Pacewon]
We like (woop!), love our shit or leave it alone [x4]
[Young Zee]
You know my block get cash
Twenty in street wit pop plus hash
Mess around, see a cop get blast
Even the girls get stop by tax
Outsidaz, what, what, what, like today
We doin' it to girls look like Tyra Banks
Drop the CD, girls hawkin' a nigga
They still wanna creep, they know I'm talkin' to Digga
You think you raw, I'mma test your jaw
You don't have a clue like Ernesto Shaw
See me on ya block, better give me those props
Before I start another beef worse then Biggie and Pac
We got macks and 4-4's to bust
And we don't buy clothes for girls, they buy clothes for us
Peace, to my homies doin' time in jail
And to ya niggas that be hatin', ya'll can rot in hell
[Chorus: Young Zee]
To my people from New York, keep on
Everybody in L.A., keep on
And it wont be long til the Outz invade
So we came to sing this sing
[Hook: Pacewon]
We like (woop!), love our shit or leave it alone [x4]
[Young Zee] (Pacewon) {both}
You know the Outz spit game
Without rappin' bout my chain and my range
While everybody else talk, sound the same
(Yo me and Zee) {we just try'nna get brains} and run trains
(Yo hot like gun flames, we copped enough grade
Take the story make the front page
All about a man wit a bulletproof coatin' chrome shotty
Ain't takin' shit from nobody)
And punk ya'll can make me use the steel and blast ya Coupe D'eville
Hit the right side up, make ya loose a wheel
Outsidaz drunk, can't walk a straight line
Me and Pace blind off the 1-8-9
(Tell the cops that the gun ain't mine, some may find and go
All day shine, I'm no joke
Pacewon, the type of man, that you don't play close
Better throw up ya hands when my folks say so)
[Chorus: Young Zee]
To my people in V.A., keep on
Everybody up in Philly, keep
And it wont be long til the Outz invade
So we came to sing this sing
[Hook: Pacewon]
We like (woop!), love our shit or leave it alone [x4]
[Outro: Young Zee]
Jacksonville, keep on
Little Rock, keep on
Vancouver, keep on
I always saw it deep inside your eyes
The way you act the way you said goodbye
Why don't you come out and say it?
Got home had a couple of beers
Had a shower washed away my tears
The sound of water took the world off my mind
You and me
me and you
Everything in its right place
Though the times, they were few
I won't forget the look on your face
I hope it makes you feel better knowing that you're constantly running through his mind and
I guess your self esteem is more important than him wasting all his fucking time
Then one day when you're looking back you can think of the good ones and the games you played
So have fun sleeping alone lying in the bed you made
Look at myself look what I have become
Compass is useless when you can't find direction from
The feeling that you just need to forget
Why do things happen like they do?
Impossible to make sense of what you get
Why can't I try to be a little optimistic but
This all just made me so completely pessimistic
Verse 1: Peter Gunz
Uh come on come on come on
Uh and I see you
This is it
In '97 I made plans to see mo' money
In '98 I blasted out in the phat 420
When I hit the block kids stop look and stare
Girls they point "Yo that's that nigga over there"
I get a lotta love lotta hate
Yes that's the bet you make when you see a lotta cake
Now they calling me fake
Shit back they was calling me love
Now they're scratching up my car and calling me blood
See it be the ones you know scheming on the low
Saying you're dope but steady sizing up your Rol'
I drift, to the past where there's no riches
No hits and no chips and no bitches
Just another cat named Peter
Trying to make a dollar off a nine millimetre
Now life a little sweeter
I'm in the dealer
Coppin' a drop
On the beach in Hawaii with Mariah, wop!
Laying up in Wakiki, MTV, figures why these niggas wanna envy me
Maybe cuz this young lady wanna sin for me
Because I ball you got it in me?
But Ima
Chorus: Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq
(keep on)
Ballin' 'til the day I die
Keep climbing 'til I reach the sky, Ima (keep on)
Getting money cause it's meant for I
I deserve yo I went for mine Ima (keep on)
And even though you hope I fail
I turn around and hope you prevail (keep on)
And to my sisters in the struggle alone
And to my brothers that's locked in jail just (keep on)
Verse 2: Lord Tariq
Yo in the early days of the Lord everything was shey-shey
Everyday was pay day
Selling nickels and dimes
Getting mine in mind state from 86 to 88
I still hear the razor scrape on the plate
A high school drop out
Caught a case mom expects me to cop out
6-G lawyer fee the case dropped like a knockout
The Bronx was the shit but we all hung in Harlem
Where gettin money's easy spending it was the problem
And I cop 16 valves foot is on the pedal
Telling bitches this your last chance to get out the ghetto
For less I wouldn't settle
Think big you get big
Came across the wrong niggas almost split my wig
Some say I bitched up because I switched up and started rapping
But I'm turning gold crack sales to drugs raps platinum
See these streets through my eyes and you can feel 'em though my words
I swore to god that I'm gon' be heard And Ima
Chorus
Bridge: Peter Gunz
You gotta (keep on)
just (keep on)
You gotta (keep on)
just (keep on)
You gotta (keep on)
just (keep on)
You gotta (keep on)
To all my people on the East (keep on)
And all my people on the West (keep on)
And all my people in the North (keep on)
And all my people in the South (keep on)
You gotta (keep on)
Verse 3: Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq
To my sisters raising kids alone
Feeling stuck cuz your man ain't home
Don't wanna be a father don't bother
Honey, stay on the job
Cuz that man gotta answer to God so baby (keep on)
I drop a tear on this poem as I write to my dog
Pistol, I miss you sincerely yours from the Lord
You held it down on our side of the town at any cost
And you loved in the checks by Money Boss so (keep on)
To my cousin G,
I know you're feeling trapped in the chair
All alone like nobody ain't there
Never fear
Me and Touch still here
Remember what I said dog, Ima be your arms and legs you just (keep on)
And to all my niggas on the streets
Wanna do out the States
Keep your eyes open always look straight
Never fall for the bait
You look back and you might get snatched
And if so just close your trap
You gotta (keep on)
Chorus
My style is evident I adapt to formats
And metamorph for combat like a battle rap
My mouth's a gat and I'm clapping it off
You get hit with a slug you better die, shake it off
I never freestyle, fuck a free rhyme 'til
I'm paid like puffy you gonna have to pay for mine
I'm steady on the grind and I don't care
What you rep or who you roll with
I make dough and focus on my own shit
You hating bitches worry about the next man
I never pay attention when I'm focused on the game plan
My shit is heavy, it'll hold its own weight but I
Brought some duct tape just in case shit breaks
'Cause u know how shit goes sometimes
When you flip the script
And it blows somebody's mind but I keep on doing
What I do like they told me and never let the stress and bullshit fold me
[Chorus:]
Keep on doing what you do
Nod your head if you hear and you're feeling it too
Keep on doing what you do
Can't stop, can't quit, won't stop, man fuck you
Never going to stop doing this
Never going to quit doing this
If it don't bang it ain't knocking
As long as the mic on I'mma continue to rock
[verse 2:]
They call me one of the newest and truest to
Extend digits and wrap 'em around a mic
While anhilating you punk bitches…
I'm vicious like a dog with rabid jaws
So if I lock on it's gonna be hard to shake me off
If it bleeds it can be killed and so on..
Raise up, get gone or get sprayed like krylon
I'm an artist and depending on the tool that I use
I can swiss cheese you and your dudes from the living room
That ain't me I don't even roll like that and to keep
It completely real I don't hold a gat but I know cats with
Rap sheets long as your arm that'll put you in the ground if you're meaning me harm
You ain't hard, you the same as me, both having a dream trying
To make it a reality but I keep on doing what I do
Like they told me and never let the stress
Or bullshit fold me
[chorus:]
Keep on doing what you do
Nod your head if you hear and you're feeling it too
Keep on doing what you do
Can't stop, can't quit, won't stop, man fuck you
Never going to stop doing this
Never going to quit doing this
If it don't bang it ain't knocking
As long as the mic on I'mma continue to rock
[verse 3:]
Everybody spits rhymes but yours are not like mine
Mine are colored green and yours are shaped like stop signs
My mind's so advanced it competes with itself,
I got a need to believe I can achieve more
Than wealth, health, and dental; I'm in it
To win it and then some, rubbing on my
Balls looking like im fittin' to cum
Nope, nope, splash.
Im not the ultimate but I'm heaven sent
And hell bent to drop shit like
An ill poet with no books or scripture
That soothe the mind in me is like an elixir
Can you picture do you lack at the talent
To walk tightrope with just an umbrella to keep balance
Tip the skills, lock tip drills, go deep in they pocket
For silicone and highheels but, I keep on doing what I do
Like they told me and never let the stress
Or bullshit fold me
[Chorus:]
Keep on doing what you do
Nod your head if you hear and you're feeling it too
Keep on doing what you do
Can't stop, can't quit, won't stop, man fuck you
Never going to stop doing this
Never going to quit doing this
If it don't bang it ain't knocking
As long as the mic on I'mma continue to rock
Keep on doing what you do
Nod your head if you hear and you're feeling it too
Keep on doing what you do
Can't stop, can't quit, won't stop, man fuck you
Never going to stop doing this
Never going to quit doing this
If it don't bang it ain't knocking
[Intro: sampled]
To the Batmobile, let's go~!
Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed
(Roger, ready to move out)
[signature spinning Bat logo sound]
[Madd Kapp:]
Three o'clock in the mornin I'll be scrapin the curb
I'm down pimper to the D to the burbest of burbs
Sippin 'gnac, let me elaborate, I'm leaned back
Wearin R. Kelly's mask and Bishop Don's hat
Mad pimpin, but never Superman to these bitches
I'm outstanding, destined for the fame and riches
That's how I planned it, learned the game from top to bottom
Daytime entrepeneur, night time Ramada
That's dirty! (To the beat y'all) Heh, but that's the way that I'm livin
I don't hang with too many dudes, I wanna stay out of prison
I call myself Kapp Mann cause I mash through Gotham
And I'm a wild motherfucker, I'm the one that you watchin
[Chorus:]
Just call me Kapp Mann! Kapp Mann!
KAPP MANN! Kapp Mann
KAPP MANN, KAPP MANN, KAPP MANN!
[Madd Kapp:]
I done shook up thangs and made the rap scene noticed
And I done came up focused over the hopeless locus
I drop my vocals and split, I got some paper to get
I bootleg my own shit if I run out of my shit
That's called saavy, and they ain't teachin that up in college
And if you hungry, you bound to stumble onto this knowledge
Now let me explain, in broken english, english the same
Never trust a motherfucker or you're losin this game
And I done it, done it, done it, done it
(To the beat y'all)
But now I'm on the, top of my game
So fuck losin, I'm Madd Kapp, baby I reign
I'm a flamethrower, burnin down the club to the ground
A superhero honkey headed for the throne in the clouds
[Chorus]
[Madd Kapp:]
It ain't easy bein breezy assholes be hatin
They never minded when I was broke, recordin in basements
Now they think that I'm arrogant, but it ain't that at all
I'm just bullshit free, I put my word on my balls
So fuck 'em all with this middle finger I host in the air
Let 'em talk all that weak shit, I'm everywhere
So let 'em stop and just stare, lookin hard at a legend
I'm Madd Kapp, nephew, freestyle and forget it
I'm like Uncle Elroy, I'm the KAING around here~!
I'm ain't talkin to your ass unless you buy me a beer
I'm what's hot down river, that's the way this shit is
You got some skills on the mic, drop your demo by my crib
So we can split up a million, the studio's where I live
Verse 1: Peter Gunz

You are longing for me
And I knew that will be long together
As the world turns around
And the distance made itself much closer
Felling you closer everyday
I'm longing for you
And the world is turning, love is burning
Time is running on .on and on on and on .
Keep on loving me
Keep on dreaming high
And eternally
It' will be you and me
Won't the memories fade a way?
When the breeze remain a silent prayer
I remember the love we had
And I dream of you coming home
Keep on dreaming high
Keep on loving me
Till the end of times
It will be you and me
Till the end of times
What secret plans still lie ahead
Locked up behind closed walls
What they have said
For all we know
To them it's simply news
Through the heroes of our peopl0e
Vanished long ago
All the lessons that they taught still live to
Keep us strong
Chorus:
Keep on
Believing in our world
Togetherness with hope
There's nothing we can't build
Keep on
Knowing that it's right
Sharing with our brothers we can see
The light
Shine (see it shine)
How many politicians try to cover up
Their lies
And in the blackness of the night
Abuse us with their might
It's the sadness of it all that makes us
Stand and fight
Chorus:
With his hands
The farmer works the land
Dedicated for the earth to grow
In the streets
The people make ends meet
It's their reality
Through the heroes of our people
Vanished long ago
All the lessons that they taught still live to
Keep us strong
We'll hold on
9-1-1 wasn’t a joke
pistols blaze, young guns get lost in the smoke
there’s a war going on between the rich and the broke
it’s in the streets, worldwide, overseas and under oath
from day one man was flawed, we fall daily
no man is perfect, word, but we can keep working
fulfill our purpose, before we’re gone with the wind
storing treasures for the final days and focus on the
end (result)
the vinyl plays and I write, my minds stays in the
light
and sprays a rhyme to ignite freedom
I’m feeling like it’s all over
standing in the cold to be reminded that I’m still
breathing
and I’m leaving this state of mind that got me
depressed
all the desires of the flesh, get put to rest
and understand, we can live free in harsh reality
and shine light, when it’s to dark to see
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
I’m taking shots at the system like a paparazzi
you can’t stop me, from operating properly
I’m set to prosper with no illegal scandal,
just honest, diligent hard work, I can’t stand still
I call my cash cream, it’s not about the benjamin’s
my cream is medicine, I’m not afraid to spread it thin
bless a struggling family with some food to eat
I know if in reverse, they would do it for me
I’m looking out for my people in these trife (trifle)
times
children play outside and put their life on the line
it’s not all bad, but it’s been seeming so lately
seeing all these teenage girls raising babies
with no fathers, subliminal manslaughter
young bucks on the block sipping dirty bath water
in glass bottles, feeling betrayed and cursed
stay encouraged, the last shall be first, I’m saying
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
Goliath strikes and stands larger then my shadow is
I’m not equipt to battle this man handler alone
built on the rock, evil infiltrates my home
and I’m to honest to God to cast the first stone
fear factor got me thinking to turn, run the opposite
options fade, opposition tossing grenades
I’m not trained in the art of war
I’m not running wild chasing beef, like a carnivore
sometimes I feel like giving up
sometimes I feel like it’s not worth the fight
sometimes I feel like nobody cares
cried at night and realized, God was right there
so regardless of what’s see with physical eyes
(deep inside) I know there’s meaning to life
and even when I’m feeling down, defiled, defeated and
keep on, keep on
keep on steppin' 'til you reach higher ground
can't nobody turn you 'round
step on up you can claim the highest star
straight ahead, it's not very far!
keep on, keep on
with the strength of your mind you can be set free
you can overcome your past
search deep inside and you will see
time has come at last!
keep on, keep on
keep keepin' on, you gotta keep keepin' on (repeat)
you can make it if you only try
don't stop reaching 'til you touch the sky
life has many ups and downs
plant your feet on solid ground! keep on!
keep on, keep on
keep keepin' on, you gotta keep keepin' on (repeat)
through the strength of your mind you can be set free
you can overcome your past
search deep inside and you will see
time has come at last!
keep on, keep on
keep keepin' on, you gotta keep keepin' on (repeat)
sky is the limit and you know that you keep on just
keep on pressin' on
sky is the limit and you know that you can have what
you want, be who you want
(repeat)
listen, i can't let nobody keep me from reachin' the
top!
don't you give up for nothing keep on 'til you get by!
reach, reach, reach you're almost there!
if you have a goal, set it in your mind!
reach for it, say to yourself, this will be mine!
k-e-e-p, pressin' o-n spells keep on, keep on pressin'
my friend!
ain't no half steppin' you've got to keep on pressin'!
Fighting waves thirty feet tall
The boat is nearly full of water
When your thinking becomes crystal clear
Life is consumed by the moment
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
Is this fear or love I feel
Did we sink or are we sailing
Calm and warm the water moves
Over me like a lover who puts me to sleep
There was a lot of things I never believe
Like that I would ever drown at sea
There lived a man in control of his life who believed
To die doing what you loved is alright
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
Keep on, keeping on
Don't wait for the wind to blow
There was a lot things I never believe
Like that I'd ever drown in the sea
I'm not bitter I'd sail out again
If I could
There was a lot of things I never believe
Like that I'd ever drown at sea
There lived a man in control of his life who believed
Brooklyn Brooklyn had to say it twice
Shoot the gift like a pair of dice
Nice on the microphone device
Only eat the black beans with the white rice
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
But your wack rhymes always make me sick
You're such a trick and I'm a nice treat
Can't tell you twice go take your seat
Just feel the heat that we generate
You can't compete we beat you out the gate
You're one day late and a dollar short
Now I'm gonna tell you all the things I bought
A golden blimp and a submarine
A laundromat and a club in Queens
Fannypack is Saks and you're a shop that pawns
But hey homegirl keep on
Brooklyn the borough of kings
Where three little birds got thorough with things
Had school all day and shows right after
Interviews provided you laughter
Work and school can be real hard
Haters steady tryin to pull my card
But I keep my cool yo and I carry on
The road to riches unpaved and long
Miss Suthiwong is on the job
When money gets low it's time to rob
A record label for the cash advances
Take that money like I'm taking chances
Matt just dances and we leave the spot
With all the crisp new money we got
You might get shot if your hear me wrong
Mind your business keep on
Step step ya'll freak freak ya'll
Gotta move til your knees get weak ya'll
Imma make you scream like Howard Dean
Know what I'm sayin uhh know what I mean
Make the mercury rise cause I'm the real queen
Then all the boys bust outta they jeans cause I'm
Smooth like silk on the hot popcorn and I
Get butt naked like the day you were born
Movin' out and lookin' in
Say a little prayer cause I know you sin
In the last two years yo I made some moves
Toured the world and I paid my dues
Second album so you know the steez
Just drop the top and feel the breeze
Stacks of dough that you can't sleep on
Come on and make a wish
I don't want to know
I want to see this love
You might as well let go
I want to feel like this
There's something in your eyes
Might be my twisted mind
I think it's paradise
Come on and make a wish
Before the sun goes up
I want to see this love
We might as well let go
You said my life would leave my heart in a deadly spin
So why don't you come on, baby?
Come on and catch my kiss
It's flying low
