Keep Ya Kool
Quest feat. B.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not alone
Though it seems like that
Just keep it cool
It ain't worth all that
I'm never far
I could come right back
Girl I love you hard
But you don't need to know that...
If I said I love you
Would you say it right back?
If you say you trust me
Why'd you lie like that?
I swear I can see it in your eyes
When you try to disguise
The way you feel inside
But maybe there's a lesson
Transgressions can't come between us
Even if we told the truth
You know they wouldn't believe us
It feels like the harder that we try
The more we come apart
We agreed from the start
I was gonna go far
And coming back for you
Was always my intention
Sometimes things just don't work out
The way that you envision
The mission transitioned to something new
Distracted by something cute
I'm just doing me
Cause' I know that you're doing you
I'm not alone
Though it seems like that
Just keep it cool
It ain't worth all that
I'm never far
I could come right back
Girl I love you hard
But you don't need to know that...
I'm not alone
Though it seems like that
Just keep it cool
It ain't worth all that
I'm never far
I could come right back
Girl I love you hard
But you don't need to know that...
You should know it
A million times that I showed it
Kept evil and darkness from you
But you lie to yourself
That's why you can't trust another
A million times that I tried
To shelter you, give you cover
But you fly right back
My beautiful little angel
Let thoughts of our joy parade you
Every time I see you I'm goin blind
Getting lost in each other's eyes
Just like children reaching on their tippy toes tryna grab the sky
And never wondering why
Thoughts laid down like pen on paper
Can't slow down can't owe no favors
I thank god
I love my neighbors
We're all in it together
And I think that we're going major
I got this belief
And nobody can take it from me
Even cooking my own beats
I'm spazzing, I'm going dummy
Just cause' we went to school together
Doesn't mean you know me
And I got it on my own
So nobody can take it from me
I'm not alone
Though it seems like that
Just keep it cool
It ain't worth all that
I'm never far
I could come right back
Girl I love you hard
But you don't need to know that...
I'm not alone
Though it seems like that
Just keep it cool
It ain't worth all that
I'm never far
I could come right back




Girl I love you hard
But you don't need to know that...

Yo Blaque you hit the MF nail on the head !!!!!

That whole movie came down to 2 scenes and that was the 1st.

The 2nd was when my man Run set it off after “Russell” aka Blair pissed him off.

“I want y’all to know 1 thing - THIS IS MY MF HOUSE AND WHEN I SAY WHOSE HOUSE Y’ALL SAY RUN’S HOUSE!!!

WHOSE HOUSE?
