Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've been lookin' real hard
And I'm tryin' to find a job
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I got to do my part 'cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah

Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true that all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time

So keep on rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby

I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, LA
Northern California where the girls are warm
So I could be with my sweet baby, yeah

Keep on a rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby
Keep on a rock'n me, baby

Now don't be suspicious
Babe, you know you are a friend of mine
And you know that it's true
That all the things that I do
Are gonna come back to you in your sweet time

I went from Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, LA
Northern California where the girls are warm
So I could hear my sweet baby say

First heard this in GTA5, then heard it in real life in Cleveland, what an experience.

This song + Trevor's truck + Grand Senora Desert is the best combination.
