Keep On
Lissat & Block & Crown 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

Yeah, hope they feel the same when we meet
I hope the people we're meeting have the same objectives as us
And I know that they don't want me to eat
I know they don't want me to succeed
But tonight we are playing for keeps
Tonight we're going all in and not holding back
Gotta hit up the sono, petrol or bleach
We need to go to the store and get sound equipment, gas, or cleaning supplies
Three thousand for teeth
Spending a lot of money on dental work
Loose twenty to spend on some beef
Only have twenty dollars left to buy some meat
Before we ride out, we pray to the east
Before we leave, we perform a religious ritual
Tryna slide with the petrol on E
Trying to drive with an almost empty gas tank
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
We are not messing around tonight
Yeah, but tonight we are playing for keeps
I'm repeating myself because it's important to emphasize
Yeah, tonight we are playing for keeps
Again, we're really serious about this
Yeah, playing for keeps
We're not backing down
.44 bells, you can't go to war with a stun gun
You can't bring a weak weapon to a serious fight
We all spilt blood for these cunch blocks, hella dumb-dumbs
We've put in a lot of work and fought hard for our territory, even though it may have been foolish
When we lock and load, that's a night-night for mummy one son
When we have our weapons ready, someone will not make it home to their mother
I watched them niggas eat, couldn't get a bite, not even one crumb
I've seen other people succeed, but I haven't been able to catch a break
Them niggas keep you 'round in the long run cah you beneficial
Some people keep you around because they benefit from you
You can run your check on number twenty nine, I been official
You can verify my reputation and know that I've always been legitimate
When you catch a case or you go to jail, they'll never miss you
If you get into legal trouble, the people you thought were friends will not be there for you
Broski, I love you like cooked food, swear on mummy, I'll never diss you
I care about you like family and will never betray you
Look, top two in the south side, then it must be us
We're at the top of the hierarchy in our area
Rambo in her handbag, then it must be love
A woman carrying a weapon like a Rambo knife shows that she is serious about us
Just 'cause you ain't one of them
Just because you're not part of the group we're with
That doesn't mean that you're one of us
Doesn't automatically make you part of our team
Nah, fuck them and F you like they're my brother's son
I don't care about you or those other people at all
It's nice to see you again, that's all I hear in Louis Vuitton
I'm just pretending to be friendly to you because I'm surrounded by expensive items
You been fuckin' with lames for long
You've been associating with unimportant, unimpressive people for a while
That's why don't know what to do with a boss
You're not used to being around someone who is a strong leader
I'm in DSquared, that's Dan on Dean, nuttin' to do with a mosque
I am wearing a luxury brand of clothing, which has nothing to do with religion
I got suttin' for you and the opp
I have something for you and your enemies
I'm playing for keeps, put two in your top
I'm not messing around and will shoot to kill if necessary
They say I changed 'cause I don't entertain the fake shit
People think I've changed because I don't put up with nonsense anymore
Give my hitter the chance, what's in your arm? He's gonna take it
I have someone who's willing to take anything valuable from you by force
Conspiracy charge and you gotta take it
You'll have to take responsibility for a planned illegal action
Gyal, I waited all night just to taste this
I've been waiting all night to be with this woman
(Tell the truth fam, faded)
(Let's be honest, I'm under the influence of drugs or alcohol)
Scars all over my body like I went to war with the devil himself
I have many physical scars and it feels like I've been through a lot
I have a nigga put one in your head, have your neighbours say "get him some help"
I have someone who can shoot and kill you and then make it look like you needed medical assistance
Hard to be focus and righteous
It's difficult to stay focused and do the right thing
When you feel like you're living in hell
When everything around you feels terrible and hopeless
Spot a brick on the scales, wish me well
I hope to get a good deal on a large amount of drugs
