Yuh CAM Got the Heat
Ayy playin' RIPPLE on repeat
Yeah we keepin’ it real
Yeah you know how I feel
There’s some things I gotta do to keep it real with myself
I keep doin’ all them things I know that’s bad for my health
Put the focus back on me, keep it real, keep it G
We connected like twigs on a tree
I get it off of my chest
I tryin’, I’m doin’ my best
They seein’ me chasin’ my dreams
I’m finally gon pay all my team
I ain’t finna cap, I’m scared
I’m finally facin’ all my fears
They make me wanna shave all my hair
What the fuck am I doin’ here, what
There’s some things I gotta do to keep it real with myself
I keep doin’ all them things I know that’s bad for my health
Put the focus back on me, keep it real, keep it G
We connected like twigs on a tree
I keep a pack in the dash
Right next to the stack of the cash
You know we be makin’ it last
And we be makin’ it fast
I’m gettin’ so high it ain’t funny
That shit gon be makin’ you dummy
Expecting way too much from me
I see you mad, tryna come for me
I only keep good company
I feel a vibe when you fuck with me
Bring the heat and we sippin’ tea
Move along, ain’t nothin’ to see
Boy put it down when you puttin’ it up
Lemme see what you got in ya cup
Yeah you know I’m tryna say wassup
Feel around, yeah you feelin’ me up
There’s some things
Yeah, yeah yeah said there’s some things
There’s some things I gotta do
I gotta go, I gotta move
There’s some things I gotta do to keep it real with myself
I keep doin’ all them things I know that’s bad for my health
Put the focus back on me, keep it real, keep it G
We connected like twigs on a tree
I get it off of my chest
There's some things I gotta do
I keep doin' em
We keep it real, we keep it G




We keep it cool, we family
We connected like twiggies on a tree

Love your sound, your harmony, and your joyful spirit!

Jeanne Gostling

Heard "Keep On" and a sampling of other fine tunes last night at Songfest 518 in The Egg, Albany, NY. I'm hooked. Told Mira and Chuck during intermission that I wept pure tears of joy, so moved by the beauty of their sound, their presence, their art. If you haven't heard them live do it soon.....when their voices rise close your eyes and let the music fill you up. Bring tissues!
