Keep the faith (4x) |
[00:10.121] |
(Mr. Funkee) It's been 21 years |
[00:11.500] |
Since I rose from the crotch |
[00:13.195] |
Now that I'm grown I just sit back and watch |
[00:15.707] |
Been almost 2 years since I dropped my first jam |
[00:18.413] |
You still don't give me props but hey I understand |
[00:21.085] |
You do what you got to keep from sinkin' in the sand |
[00:23.771] |
Nowadays everybody wants to be the man |
[00:26.332] |
Whenever I'm around |
[00:27.375] |
You put up a front and shake my hand |
[00:29.114] |
Smilin' in my face but can't wait to take my place |
[00:31.739] |
So you can all be jealous but learn some control |
[00:34.469] |
Be a man about it if you're a swole say you're swole |
[00:37.002] |
Cause though you don't respect me |
[00:38.118] |
You can never break my heart |
[00:39.679] |
Because I kept the faith and stayed true to the art |
[00:42.411] |
I place all my faith in God |
[00:44.335] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[00:45.929] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[00:47.865] |
I place all my faith in God |
[00:49.792] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[00:51.149] |
Believe me (Let the faith set you free) |
[00:53.198] |
I place all my faith in God |
[00:55.155] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[00:56.578] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[00:58.493] |
I place all my faith in God |
[01:00.393] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[01:01.820] |
Believe me (Let the faith set you free) |
[01:03.661] |
I place all my faith in God |
[01:05.739] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[01:07.269] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[01:09.093] |
I place all my faith in God |
[01:11.055] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[01:13.051] |
Believe me |
[01:14.289] |
(DoItAll) Well here's the jeep banger of the year |
[01:16.343] |
I'm on another level but I still hang with my peers |
[01:19.019] |
I got a couple of friends but why are they friends? |
[01:21.781] |
Is it cause I hip hop and now I got ends? |
[01:24.355] |
Although it used to be hard, it's easy for the skins |
[01:27.754] |
Because I'm making music and I'm settin' mad trends |
[01:30.533] |
Now it's got me wonderin' thinkin to myself |
[01:33.228] |
"Will they be there when I'm knocked off the shelf?" |
[01:35.753] |
Cause people come around only when you're doin' well |
[01:38.400] |
Or when they try to pull you down by tuggin' on your tail |
[01:40.706] |
So what the hell? (You got the faith) |
[01:43.402] |
So if you tryin' to pull us down |
[01:44.670] |
Well boy I swear it's too late |
[01:46.387] |
Cause I got assistance beyond dissin' sistas |
[01:49.156] |
And yeah you can hear it |
[01:50.215] |
When it's blastin' in the system |
[01:51.750] |
My lyrical is spiritual so don't get hysterical |
[01:54.384] |
Cause when I'm doing well boy |
[01:55.652] |
It ain't no miracle, it's the faith |
[01:57.090] |
I place all my faith in God |
[01:59.146] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[02:00.691] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[02:02.384] |
I place all my faith in God |
[02:04.424] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[02:05.932] |
Believe me (Let the faith set you free) |
[02:07.792] |
I place all my faith in God |
[02:09.765] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[02:11.313] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[02:13.039] |
I place all my faith in God |
[02:14.997] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[02:17.044] |
Believe me |
[02:18.449] |
(Mr. Funkee) Now as the world |
[02:19.201] |
Play this game of ring around the rosy |
[02:21.090] |
You find a lot of jealous people always being nosy |
[02:23.786] |
I try to stay away from all you |
[02:25.788] |
Scandalous snakes in the grass |
[02:27.792] |
That's always in your ass |
[02:29.162] |
All up in my biz like "Yo, how can I be down?" |
[02:31.925] |
Leave me alone and stop jockin' me clown |
[02:34.492] |
When I was dead broke |
[02:35.493] |
You wouldn't have nothin' to do with me |
[02:37.062] |
But now all of a sudden yo |
[02:38.427] |
You wanna crack a brew with me? |
[02:39.878] |
(DoItAll) Never did I think about |
[02:41.070] |
The worth of my birth, not until now |
[02:43.506] |
It took my man to get hurt |
[02:45.069] |
So Jazz, tell me do you feel the struggle? |
[02:47.413] |
(I feel the struggle) |
[02:48.307] |
So oooh I guess I flow with the notes |
[02:50.384] |
I'm doin' what I'm doin' and I'm doin' this for you |
[02:53.081] |
And with this in mind, see I won't stop pursue |
[02:55.777] |
The credibility and the originality |
[02:58.437] |
You know the type of stuff |
[02:59.356] |
That takes me to the t.o.p? The faith |
[03:01.342] |
I place all my faith in God |
[03:03.086] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[03:04.637] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[03:06.431] |
I place all my faith in God |
[03:08.478] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[03:09.798] |
Believe me (Let the faith set you free) |
[03:11.937] |
I place all my faith in God |
[03:13.812] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[03:15.288] |
He won't deceive me, believe me |
[03:17.062] |
I place all my faith in God |
[03:19.139] |
Cause God will never leave me |
[03:21.091] |
Believe me |
