Keep It On Me 2
N.O.R.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always keep it on me for the outside looking in
Life just got me stressing so I might just pop a xan
And the people look so happy but they do it for the gram
And I’ll never understand it
Always been a money maker never been a bandit
Maybe it’s a habit
Feeling like I’m flying and I landed
Always out here fixing it
Never on a deficit
Imma keep on grinding till I make and my wrist is lit
Gyally knows she taken moving single and she’s wishing it
Oh I pray to god ain’t nobody put a ring on it
If your moving right I ain’t even gotta tell you to
I know that you lied but I’m acting like I never knew
Pulled up at the night coz she knows I always execute
Angry till I beat it
She forgot about her attitude
Rating all her attributes
She wanna stay the afternoon
You already stayed the night
Better have some gratitude
All my bruddas better fight
When the see ops in the avenue
I can’t let it slide if my bro don’t do what I would do
Baby what you telling me
Got me feeling down while i’m sipping on this Hennessy
Love when you’re around but
Now we’re turning enemies
You said it’s forever got me feeling like destiny
Thought that you were different never saw you’d ever lie to me
Still I’m tryna change
Nothing into something so I’ll pull up in a range
Grinding from the morning you know we just ain’t the same
And they gyally say she love but she do it for the pay
I think she only like me for the money coming in
Always keep it on me for the outside looking in
Life just got me stressing so i might just pop a xan
And the people look so happy but they do it for the gram
And I’ll never understand it
Always been a money maker never been a bandit
Maybe it’s a habit
Feeling like I’m flying and I landed
All around the planet never stranded
Money looking lean like suttins in my drink
Future with my teams bright flyer than blimp
Got my leather seat on recline
Chillin like fridge
And I’ll tell a bitch I decline
Moving like a witch
Coz she’s stressing out my free time Hit it then I dip
Got a Rambo and ill squeeze tight
If they plotting on lick
Grind for money till it’s knee height Till then I’ll never quit
I just wanted my ps right
Wallet looking pink
I don’t care bout these guys
Flexing when they’re skint
I ain’t driving in a whip if the windows ain’t got tints
No excuse to the L
Take it straight to the chin
Gotta learn from the loss
Turn it into a win
I think she only like me for the money coming in
Always keep it on me for the outside looking in
Life just got me stressing so I might just pop a xan
And the people look so happy but they do it for the gram
And I’ll never understand it
Always been a money maker never been a bandit
Maybe it’s a habit
Feeling like I’m flying and I landed
All around the planet never stranded

All the children in the neighborhood are looking up to me
Luv to see me come around and get dollas from me
They love it when I come around and give them money

Police still patrolling the area twice a week

Until my people started selling crack for five dollars a piece

Wearing a fresh white t-shirt and haneechi on the gangster
Ya a young playa in da flesh
A young player in the prime of his life
Ya hoes over here so we ain't gotta leave
There are women here, so we don't have to go anywhere else
So tell your girl to tell her girl
Tell your girl to tell her friends
To come holla at a playa
To come talk to a player
'cause I'ma nail her first
Because I'll be the first one to have sex with her
And afta dat I'ma send you to da club
And after that I'll send you to the club
Head back to da trap and sell slaps on da curb
Head back to the drug house and sell drugs on the street
