[00:04.522]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)

[03:13.812]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
