Keem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you we next
I'm not like the rest
My foot on they necks
She sent me a text
I meant to reply
Sometimes I forget
I'm all in the mix I get to my checks
This as good as it gets
I got
No time if it ain't bout the fetty
Legacy going steady already
My pedigree make a nigga act petty
Its jeopardy with your career do you get me
Your shit in danger yeah
This shit a banger yeah
That's a no brainer yeah
Money counter like an automatic
Never die when you drop a classic
Big blunt sweet aromatic
Need a 4 matic with the whole package when I whip
She complimented my pendant
She fuck with me cause I'm different
I fuck with her from a distance
Don't get caught up in your feelings
You know these women ain't genuine
Money make niggas turn feminine
All for the love of the Benjamin
Leather jacket when I'm killing them
Snakeskin reptillian
Rocking camo I feel like a chameleon
Let them know I got a flow worth a million
I've just been high off adrenaline.
Wooo
Look how I flex
I told you we next
I'm not like the rest
My foot on they necks
She sent me a text
I meant to reply
Sometimes I forget
I'm all in the mix I get to my checks
As good it gets
This as good as it gets
Look how I flex
I told you we next
I'm not like the rest
My foot on they necks
She sent me a text
I meant to reply
Sometimes I forget
I'm all in the mix I get to my checks
As good it gets
This as good as it gets
