Secrets
Kontains Jazz and L.O.R.D. Lyrics

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Expressing excitement and anticipation before starting the song

I got to snoop, so cold
I need to investigate and gather information, I will do this with finesse and ease

I hear the secrets that you keep
I am aware of the information that you keep hidden from others

When you're talking in your sleep
When you are at your most vulnerable, I can hear your true thoughts and intentions

When you close your eyes and you go to sleep
When you let your guard down and are at your most vulnerable

That's when I ride, late night I be on the creep
That's when I gather information and conduct my investigations, I usually do this at night to remain unseen

I'm a get you before you get me
I will gather information on you before you try to do the same to me

Them niggas that you hang with are so weak
The people you associate with are not trustworthy or capable of keeping secrets

You're talking shit about me
You are saying negative things about me behind my back

Turn around and you're the homie
You act like we are friends when we are together, but talk badly about me when I am not around

Man that shit is phony
Your behavior is fake and insincere

Tried to set me up bro
You attempted to orchestrate a situation to make me look bad or get me in trouble

But you were singing to my hoe
I found out that you were talking to my partner behind my back

From a nigga to a dub
From someone who was once respected to someone who is now worthless and insignificant

From a g to a scrub
From someone who was highly regarded to someone who is now worthless and ineffective

I'm a vet on the set
I have been in this game for a long time and have experience and knowledge

I'm a show you what it was
I will demonstrate how things used to be done

Y'all flipping out, trippin' out
You are overreacting and acting irrationally

Cause I took a different route
I chose to do things differently than you or others in the past

6-2 rag, hell yeah come dippin' out
I am driving a 1962 automobile with a rag top and am proud to show it off

Beach city rider, 85'er, east sider
I am from the east side of Long Beach and have been riding around the beach cities since 1985

Ain't none of y'all niggas live-er
I am more alive and thriving than any of you

I hear the bad shit that y'all talk
I am aware of the negative things you say about me behind my back

You want to catch me out of pocket but I can't get caught
You want to catch me doing something wrong or illegal, but I am too smart to get caught

I'm a show you what a bitch thought, a bitch taught
I will demonstrate what happens when you listen to and believe negative input from untrustworthy sources

A nigga got played out and layed out in chalk
Someone who was once respected and revered became irrelevant and died, and now their body is lying in chalk outlines

It's a cold game
The world is an unforgiving and ruthless place

It's like a rap riddle
This situation is complex and difficult to understand

Nine times out of ten a bitch was in the middle
Most of the time, a woman was responsible for causing problems or misunderstandings

Most neighborhoods started off cool
Most communities and groups began on positive terms

In the eighties it was Long Beach fool
In the 1980s, Long Beach was a popular and happening place

With no separation
Everyone was united and working together

Here's a toast to the real shit, the foundation
Let's celebrate and honor the integrity and authenticity that formed the basis for our community

You know my game is amazing
You are aware of my impressive skills and abilities

I keep blazing
I keep moving forward and accomplishing great things

East side niggas is the craziest and the shadiest
People from the east side of Long Beach are known for being unpredictable and untrustworthy

Yeah dog, tell 'em again
Yes, keep reiterating and re-emphasizing the truth of the situation

What you talking 'bout loc?
What are you saying, my friend?

I got hell of a ends
I have a lot of money and wealth

Hoping that her smiling exes fall (ego hustling loopholes)
I am hoping that the men who used to date my partner have a fall from grace and lose their status and power

I'd always thought that you would've never have stabbed me everywhere
I never expected that you would betray me in every possible way

More rumors, more lies
The more people talk, the more falsehoods and untruths are spread

More money, more time
The more wealth and success people have, the more they focus on trivial things and waste time

I don't really give a fuck cause you all gon' shine
I don't care about your success and glory, because you will ultimately fail and become irrelevant

So you better get yours and quit worrying 'bout mine
You should focus on achieving success for yourself, and stop trying to sabotage my own success and progress

I see it in your voice and I hear it in your eyes
Your body language and mannerisms reveal your true intentions and feelings to me

So jealous, so envious
You are so consumed with jealousy and envy towards me and my accomplishments

What a drag
What a downer, you are ruining the mood and the situation

Real talk loc, you ain't acting like a man
Honestly, my friend, you are not behaving in a mature or responsible manner

Your message is how blessed you is
Your focus and message is on how fortunate and blessed you are, despite being ungrateful and selfish

I guess you is
I suppose that is true, but your behavior and attitude do not reflect it

Look at the mess you in
You have created a chaotic and negative situation for yourself
