The song "Keep it real" by Coko featuring Jon B and Jay-Z is about being genuine and truthful in a relationship. The lyrics describe how the singer has moved on from his past and is now fully invested in a new relationship. In the beginning, he says that he and his partner have been together for some time, but he doesn't know what's on her mind. He then explains that cheating was once his "steez," but the love he has now is so good that he's brought to his knees, asking to make love that evening.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of "keeping it real" in a relationship, both physically and emotionally. The bridge features Jay-Z rapping about being real in his relationships, and the final verse is sung from the perspective of the female partner, expressing her contentment and commitment to the relationship. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the message of genuine love and honesty.

Jay-Z, the one who spends one night only, can't commit to a serious relationship
I can't stay forever, love, I get it done right
I can't stay in a committed relationship forever, but I'll make sure it is done right while it lasts
Cutie, I would truly do damage to your dooby
Darling, I would harm your hairstyle
Always hook you up (Always hook me up now) if you keep it real
I'll always support you as long as you always stay honest and genuine with me
