Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another one (yeah-yeah, mm-mm, mm-mm)
DJ Khaled
He a bitch, he runnin', he screamin' for help
We gon' get him as soon as he tired (yeah)
I seen bitches get over they feelings for niggas
Some hours after he died

And I'm pushin' P, beefin' with my Drac', I'm Pusha T
I go to Phlavz when I'm in Chicago
My brother the owner, I'm eatin' for free
I brought a million in cash around
So stop tellin' niggas you bigger than me (bigger than me)
I'm gettin' money, he gettin' money
Feel like Big Meech and Southwest T (man, what?)
I'm with Khaled Khaled
Throw your hood up, bitch, you 'bout it, 'bout it (throw your hood up)
Need that 'Rari truck
Put me on that list, I gotta have it
And I wanna see Cardi and Nicki (what else?)
In the city, I ride with my blicky (what else?)
How you mad she be poppin' her titties? (What else?)
How you mad I pop prescription? (What else?)
How you mad I'm on the block with gremlins? (What else?)
War time, don't sit by the window (what else?)

This a wide body, these ain't stocks though
He ain't 'bout it, 'bout it, where your chop' go?
In a opp party, you did not go
He spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' on repeat
He spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', can't even breathe, ayy
We on the streets, better call on G-O-D, ayy
This a wide body, these ain't stocks though
He ain't 'bout it, 'bout it, where your chop' go?
In a opp party, you did not go
He spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' on repeat
Whoa, 'Rari squat low to the floor
Wake up, hustle all I know
Rolex cost a hunnid times four
I'm from the bottom, I used to be poor
Half a milli', you want me to choke
My car haunted, I'm drivin' a Ghost
I told the chauffeur, "Pick up a ho"
She like, "Bae, I can't open the door"
Too much smoke, the bulletproof the only car I slide in
Movin' casket, bought a 'Cat and that's the car he died in (21)
Court system in my bedroom, only place I lied in (21)
I took a Hollywood bitch to Starlight and I got head at the drive-in (21)
Chop a nigga block like a tight end (straight up)
Say you a stepper, who died then? (Pussy)
Niggas in the middle get boxed in (21)
We don't cry 'bout it, we go spin (21)
Pateks ain't shit, I got ten (21)
I make money, I don't make friends (21)
Can't get with it, they'll hate then (21)
Everybody GOATs, I'm a ape then (21)

The lyrics of DJ Khaled's song "Keep Going" convey a sense of determination and confidence in the face of obstacles and adversity. The opening lines establish DJ Khaled's prominence in the music industry, as he declares "We the Best Music" and adds "Another one," reaffirming his consistent success and ability to deliver hit songs.
The following lines highlight the ruthlessness and competitiveness often associated with the music industry. The mention of someone running and screaming for help suggests that DJ Khaled and his team will pursue and conquer their opponents once they are worn out. The reference to people quickly moving on from their emotions after someone's death reflects the transient and fickle nature of relationships and loyalty.
The lyrics also touch on DJ Khaled's experiences and connections in the rap scene. He mentions the prevalence of fake representations and lies within the genre, signaling his commitment to authenticity. He also name-drops a Chicago restaurant, Phlavz, indicating his close ties with the owner and the perks he enjoys. The line about bringing a million in cash and asserting his superiority to others suggests his financial success and stature within the industry.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a more personal and vivid depiction of DJ Khaled's lifestyle. He expresses a desire to see Cardi B and Nicki Minaj in the city, indicating his enjoyment of their presence and perhaps a desire to collaborate with them. He also references carrying a firearm and his readiness for any conflict, mentioning his "blicky" (slang for a gun). The lyrics portray him as someone unafraid to assert his dominance and unapologetic for his actions.
Overall, "Keep Going" showcases DJ Khaled's confidence, ambition, and drive to succeed in the music industry, as well as his willingness to confront challenges head-on.
