Keep It Up

I know some peeps that's locked up, to get your street shot up

So you need to be lookin' out in case some heat pops up

They in the cell, livin' well, with they feet popped up

Writin' letters by the box, 'cause they freaks knocked up

Callin' me collect to send fresh tapes up

Takin' flicks in front of bricks, with they bench weight up

Talkin' 'bout they comin' home to stick the whole block up

Thuggin' out, actin' like they wanna dig Pac up

Kinda mad 'cause they heard that my group broke up

And if it's beef they gotta go and shoot some folks up

I tell 'em no, but you know how it go, they souped up

Ready to spray a nigga from his Timb' boots up

Most of 'em had to get bumped when I was gettin' loot up

Now that I'm chillin' more than half of 'em still beefed up

I try to tell 'em to chill, it ain't safe to act up

I don't wanna see my cats locked back up

Heads up, it's goin' down, raise up

If you see me around, it's time to blaze up

Big up to all my people that's still in the cut

And if you're doin' your thing, keep it up

Heads up, it's goin' down, raise up

And if you see me around, it's time to blaze up

Big up to all my peeps that's in the cut

And if you're doin' your thing, keep it up

Yo, life is complex, but also not so deep

We also know that talk is cheap, I hear a whole heap

Young niggas hold heat now to back it though

Crack your skull and let the chopper shred your clavicle

Cops are swarmin', on any niggas actin' like they non-conformists

They cats that I know, and I tried to warn 'em

Cats warned me when I was young and ornery

On the corner with a sheet of tabs, and the streets was bad

I'm a dude who help brothers if they need a hand

But some motherfuckers really ain't seein' that

Scarface got they mind like hard base

Mike Tyson punch-out fist, knock your fronts out quick

I'm like jaywalkin', know how many months I'll get

Bein' homeless is illegal, people tell '

Em, "Don't you come 'round here"
