Don't Stop
Jay Dee a.k.a J Dilla Lyrics

Talk 'bout what you got right now
Focus on the present and what you have currently.

Not what you had up in the past
Don't dwell too much on past accomplishments or possessions.

People keep switching now tell me
People are changing their attitudes and loyalties, and it's confusing.

What's up with that
Why are people behaving this way?

People keep talking 'bout lies
There are rumors and falsehoods being spread around.

Like what's up with that cap
What's with the insincerity and deceit?

If that boy keep talking 'bout me
If someone keeps gossiping about me,

We gon' put 'em in a pack
We'll confront them and take action.

You tryna pull up but you a pussy
You're attempting to challenge me, but you lack courage or strength.

So obviously I'm gonna laugh
It's amusing to me that you think you can take me on.

Barely remember my school
I didn't attend much of my classes.

I was skipping all that class
I skipped most of my classes.

But I still add my money up
Despite my academic record, I'm skilled at counting and managing money.

So obviously I'm good at math
My ability to handle numbers is evident.

I got yo back
I'll support and defend you.

Back, back
Repeating the phrase for emphasis.

We got them racks
We have a lot of money.

Fuck what you had
Disregard your past possessions or achievements.

Had, had
Repeating the word for emphasis.

You going out sad
You'll be disappointed and embarrassed.

Sad, sad
Repeating the word for emphasis.

Still laughing at them haters like
We're still amused by and dismissive of our critics.

Ha
Expressing laughter.

Haha
Continuing to express laughter.

Laughing at them haters
We find our detractors amusing.

We the ones getting paper
We're the successful ones making money.

You just little boy
You're insignificant in comparison to us.

So obviously I'm greater
I'm superior to you.

If I don't got what I want right now
If I lack something I desire in the moment.

Then I'ma get that shit later
I'll work to obtain it in the future.

Riding too fast I don't wanna stop
I don't want to slow down or pause in my progress or activity.

In the SRT I was ducking cops
While driving a fast car, I evaded the police.

Can't tell if you is my homie
I'm uncertain if you're my friend.

Or if you my opp
Or if you're my opponent or enemy.

People switching up real quick
People are changing their allegiances and attitudes rapidly.

They do that shit a lot
It's a common occurrence for people to behave inconsistently.

Will you stay down
Will you remain loyal to me and support me?

Can I trust you
Can I rely on you and trust you not to betray me?

If you switch up
If you change your attitude or loyalties.

Then it's fuck you
I'll no longer respect or associate with you.

Got a lot of wishes
I have many desires and goals.

Grinding till they come true
I'm working hard to achieve them.

And when I'm down I need you
When I'm feeling discouraged or struggling, I'll need your support.

Baby come through
Come be with me and help me through my difficulties.

Uh, come through
Repeating the phrase for emphasis.

Come see me
Visit me and spend time with me.

If you wait too long
If you delay or hesitate too much.

I'll just be on the TV
I'll become successful and famous, and you'll regret missing your chance to be with me.

Yeah I need you
I rely on you for support and companionship.

Tell me if you need me
Let me know if you require my help or presence.

I said I got yo back
Reiterating my promise to support and defend you.

And you better believe me
You should trust that I'll follow through with my commitment to you.
