B. King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
'Cause the third one is too expensive
But who am I to say
That he is lame for the car he rented?
'Cause girls are only impressed when a guy look like he flexing
With all the money he don't really have
And if she knew that she woulda left when
He walked up
Shout out to the girls that won't suck your dick for a follow
Shout out to the women that are worried 'bout tomorrow
I'm worried 'bout tomorrow
Smoking in the Tahoe
That's what we did back when we were all in Colorado
Now all these people are emptier than all the bottles
The Jack Daniels
That we handled
I can't stand but
I keep it real
No money in my pocket
Fuck a deal
I got all the shit they wanna steal
I don't ever trip, I keep it real, I keep it real
I keep it real
No money in my pocket
Fuck a deal
I got all the shit they wanna steal
I don't ever trip, I keep it real
I keep it, I keep it, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Hanging with a actress
But she ain't acting when she on the mattress
Hit it three times one night
That's a hat trick
Damn, I'm on my last Bud Light
Can't stand with alcohol in my system
But when I take a shot I can't miss ya
I'm with all my friends and two girls that look like sisters
I passed one to Boston
Told him that I got him
I just wanna feel good
Do that shit more often
In the Tahoe
That's what we did back when we were all in Colorado
Now all these people are emptier than all the bottles
The Jack Daniels
That we handled
I can't stand but
I keep it real
No money in my pocket
Fuck a deal
I got all the shit they wanna steal
I don't ever trip, I keep it real, I keep it real
I keep it real
No money in my pocket
Fuck a deal
I got all the shit they wanna steal
I don't ever trip, I keep it real
I keep it, I keep it, yeah
No money in my pocket
Fuck a deal
I don't ever trip, I keep it real
I don't ever trip, I keep it real
