E.D.P.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, hope they feel the same when we meet
And I know that they don't want me to eat
But tonight we are playing for keeps
Gotta hit up the sono, petrol or bleach
Three thousand for teeth
Loose twenty to spend on some beef
Tryna slide with the petrol on E
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, but tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, playing for keeps
.44 bells, you can't go to war with a stun gun
We all spilt blood for these cunch blocks, hella dumb-dumbs
When we lock and load, that's a night-night for mummy one son
I watched them niggas eat, couldn't get a bite, not even one crumb
Them niggas keep you 'round in the long run cah you beneficial
You can run your check on number twenty nine, I been official
When you catch a case or you go to jail, they'll never miss you
Broski, I love you like cooked food, swear on mummy, I'll never diss you
Yeah, hope they feel the same when we meet
And I know that they don't want me to eat
But tonight we are playing for keeps
Gotta hit up the sono, petrol or bleach
Three thousand for teeth
Loose twenty to spend on some beef
Before we ride out, we pray to the east
Tryna slide with the petrol on E
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, but tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, playing for keeps
Look, top two in the south side, then it must be us
Rambo in her handbag, then it must be love
Just 'cause you ain't one of them
That doesn't mean that you're one of us
Nah, fuck them and F you like they're my brother's son
It's nice to see you again, that's all I hear in Louis Vuitton
You been fuckin' with lames for long
That's why don't know what to do with a boss
I'm in DSquared, that's Dan on Dean, nuttin' to do with a mosque
I got suttin' for you and the opp
I'm playing for keeps, put two in your top
They say I changed 'cause I don't entertain the fake shit
Give my hitter the chance, what's in your arm? He's gonna take it
Conspiracy charge and you gotta take it
Gyal, I waited all night just to taste this
(Tell the truth fam, faded)
Scars all over my body like I went to war with the devil himself
I have a nigga put one in your head, have your neighbours say "get him some help"
Hard to be focus and righteous
When you feel like you're living in hell
Spot a brick on the scales, wish me well
Yeah, hope they feel the same when we meet
And I know that they don't want me to eat
But tonight we are playing for keeps
Gotta hit up the sono, petrol or bleach
Three thousand for teeth
Loose twenty to spend on some beef
Before we ride out, we pray to the east
Tryna slide with the petrol on E
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, but tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Yeah, playing for keeps
The song Keep On by E.D.P.S. is a reflection on the struggles and sacrifices that come with gang life. The lyrics express the desire to survive and thrive, despite the odds against them. The opening lines, "hope they feel the same when we meet, and I know that they don't want me to eat," suggests a sense of isolation and mistrust towards others. The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency, as they talk about having to hit up places like sono, petrol, or bleach, and praying to the east before riding out. These could be references to getting necessary supplies, fueling up the car, and seeking divine protection before heading out on a dangerous mission.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of playing for keeps, which means staying committed and determined to succeed, even if it means taking risks and making sacrifices. The line, "three thousand for teeth, loose twenty to spend on some beef" suggests that they invest in things that matter, such as dental hygiene and nourishment, even if it means cutting back on unnecessary expenses. The second verse talks about loyalty and brotherhood, as the rapper pledges to never diss his Broski, no matter what. The verse also touches on power dynamics and the need to assert dominance over one's enemies, even if it means resorting to violence.
