"Check it out ch'all and you don't stop. Keep on and you don't stop" (x4)

Verse 1:
I knew from jump that my shit was gonna hit
Cause I spoke to Dione Warick and she put me on some psychic shit
She said becareful cause these girls be throwin' block
I said D don't even worry I sweat no girl for they stank box
I like drinkin' honey hit me a 5-1-6

Girl:
What's a 5-1-6?

Puba:
Long Island you dumb bitch
When it comes to this my style flows Free like Willy
Watch me grab the cream like them Beverly Hill Billy
I know you're happy with the shit you just bought
It's the greatest return since Jordan hit the court
Because my style changes frequently
See I been shit talkin' mics since the days of delenquency
Now I'm still the same low down gold teeth and Gortex
And on occasion with the ruff sex
Stud Doogie heats it up like a flannel
Cause he's smooth as wall panel
Hits the one and two like a freebee channel
I have no time for bullshitters I get bad honies jitters
As I walk be all the chickenhead critters
I got more funk then En Vogue got junk in they trunk
My flow hits ya like a filty piece of skunk
So Alley get the scomma fromt he dodge spot
Put it in the L and get high like an astronaut

Hook

Verse 2:
Now see they call me Mr. Mingo
Got a girl but I'm still single
Honies scream my name (PUBA) like they just won bingo
I take 'em out for a dinner or a show but you know how the rest go
Hey man no doe
You know the type you go out a few nights they sweat your pockets tight
Cause they rock they're rockers right
Go away little girl you gets nothing
But here take a Bufferin to ease your pain and sufferin'
Cause I'm so aware of too many things
I know what I know if ya know what I mean
Come clean because I'm a fiend for a beat and a theme
Comin' strong like Hakeem and it ain't a dream
Now is it me or is this hittin' like Tyson?
Like a plate of beans and rice I be a needy winds on ice and
Grand Puba, Stud Doogie on the nights I bag the dumb we hit a nut
And then we back up in her guts
See I get down and dirty like an arceologist
I get deep into your mind like a psycologist
I hit brothers in the head with the real
Bag honies like a charm cause Grand Puba is the bomb
So come on baby there's no need to play dumber
Or I be comin' around your nostrals when I cum
So check it out now...





Hook

Overall Meaning

In the song "Keep On" by Grand Puba, he starts off by saying that he knew from the beginning that he was going to be successful. He says that he spoke with Dionne Warwick, who advised him to be careful because some girls may try to ruin his success. Puba, being confident in himself, said that he wasn't worried about any of that. He likes to drink honey and hit up the 516, which is Long Island. He likens his style to Free Willy and his ability to grab the cream like the Beverly Hillbillies. He has been rapping since the days of delinquency and his style changes frequently. He asserts that he still the same low down gold teeth, Gortex wearing rapper, but with the added bonus of occasionally having rough sex. Stud Doogie helps bring the heat and the beats, while Puba has no time for phonies, only bad honeys. He has more funk than En Vogue's junk in their trunk and Alley gets the comma, which they put in the L to get high like an astronaut.


In the second verse, Puba is referred to as Mr. Mingo, and although he has a girl, he's still single. Honies scream his name like they just hit bingo, and he likes to take them out for dinner or a show, but doesn't like it when they sweat his pockets tight. He compares himself to an archaeologist, getting down and dirty, and deep into their minds like a psychologist. On the nights Stud Doogie bags the dumb, they hit a nut together and then they're back in her guts. Puba bags honies like a charm because he's the bomb. He warns girls not to play dumb or he'll be coming around their nostrils when he cums.

(Nothing Like The Oldschool)
Much of this funny style
(Newschool B.S.)
isn't great in anyway!
Oldschool rap brought more creativity then Newschool rap and the only thing I would say they have over Oldschool rap is better production of much harder beat's!
