Keep It Real
Deep Threat Lyrics

You can buy me diamonds
You can try to impress me with material possessions

Or lots of ice
Or flashy jewelry

You could buy me a Benz
You could even buy me a luxury car

And not ask the price
Without worrying about how much it costs

Better yours than mine
I prefer that you spend your own money

I won't take a dime
I won't accept any money from you

But if it's coming out my pocket every thing is fine
But if I'm paying for things, I don't mind

We can spend the cash
We can spend money together

And I'll let you flash
You can show off your wealth if you want to

I'm too playa for dat there
I'm too experienced with players to fall for that

So you can go ahead and pass
So you can move on if you're not interested

I like shining too
I like to show off my own wealth

Even rhyming too
Even in my music, I like to flaunt my wealth

I got other female friends just as fine as you
I have other attractive female friends, so I'm not desperate

I do things for you
I do things for you

You do things for me
You can do things for me if you want to

I'm as real as real gets, and it's plain to see
I'm authentic and it's obvious

But first time a front
But if you're pretending or putting on a front

Took you out to lunch
Took you out to eat

Spent fifty on your food
Spent a lot of money on the meal

You ain't eat that much
You didn't eat much of the meal

You better ask you friends
You should ask your friends about me

I'll smash some twins
I can attract and be with multiple women at once

I peep game from a distance
I can see through people's motives and intentions

Like a contact lens
Like a contact lens helps you see clearly

So let me swing your wheel
Let me drive your car

In your red Seville
Your red Cadillac

I put food on these tables
I make money and support myself

You can pay these bills
You can pay your own bills

You triflin'
You're not loyal or trustworthy

Hoodrat, roaching
You're from a low-class neighborhood and have a poor character

Type of sistas
The type of women I don't want in my life

Were T.Y.P
We are true young playas

Dem roaching hoes - we always miss em'
Those low-class women are not for us

We ballas
We are successful and wealthy

When times get hard
When things are tough financially

We need a woman to help us out
We need a woman to support us

And never
But not someone like you

A girl like you who don't know what a player's about
A woman who doesn't understand my lifestyle

Can you pay my cell phone bill
Can you financially support me?

Put baggets in my grill
Buy me expensive jewelry

Buy a house on a hill?
Can you buy me a mansion?

Then maybe we can chill
Then maybe we can be together

If you can't come through
If you can't support me financially

Then you gon' get the boot
Then I will break up with you

Hold up
Wait a minute

Every thing was gravy
Everything was going well

Till you started talking about them dollars
Until you started talking about money

Trying to be another gangsta boo
Trying to act like someone you're not

But, uh, I'm a make you holla holla
But I'm going to make you pay

Like J-rule
Like the rapper Ja Rule

I'm a act a fool
I'm going to behave rashly and recklessly

Can't get a dime from owing me
You won't get any money from me

Better ask my partner
You should ask my friend

That boy, lil' Marcus
My friend Marcus

Can't get that F.Y.B to the E
Can't get payment from me

That's J-five
That's just how it is

We struggling to strive
We're working hard to be successful

Up in this thing for finer things
In this lifestyle for extravagant things

Breaking up all these plots and schemes
Dealing with people who try to deceive us

Can you put a bling bling up in my ring?
Can you buy me an expensive ring?

That's your best friend
That's the person you're closest to

I'm talking baggets
I'm talking about high-quality jewelry

If you really want to, uh, keep it real
If you really want to genuinely be with me

Baby, I'll drop half on the bills
I'll pay for half of our expenses

But you need to chill and keep it real
But you need to relax and not deceive me

And that's fifty-fifty, not eighty-twenty
We'll split expenses equally, not with one person paying more than the other

Tryin' to stack my paper up real tall and long
Trying to accumulate a lot of wealth

Talking down on my name like Jenny Jones
Talking badly about me behind my back

Blowing up my phone
Calling me excessively

'Cause I'm riding on chrome
Because I have a flashy car

Better leave me alone
Better stop bothering me

And get lil' daddy to pay your bills
Find someone else to pay your bills

'Cause you don't know no playa wit' my skills
You don't know anyone who is as experienced as me with this lifestyle

So you better chill and keep it real
So you better calm down and be genuine

[Chorus x 4]
Repeats the chorus four times
