Keeping It Street
Dj Og Bones
3:43[Intro Hook] Fast life, no brakes — always in motion Tryna stack bread while dodgin' commotion Weight in the bag, heart full of risk One wrong step, get hit with a blitz [Verse 1] Started with crumbs, now I’m pushin’ them loads Hands in the mix, just stick to the code Street life teach what school never could How to keep calm when it’s bad in the hood OGs told me, “Stay low, stack clean” But the fast lane loud, and I want that gleam Cash comin’ fast, now they want what I got But they ain’t see nights when the spot got hot I done seen brothers lose for a quick mistake Seen 'em ride clean, then crash from fake Everybody talk real — few really mean it Hard to find peace when you live in schemin’ I ain’t chasin’ fame, I’m chasin’ control Tryna buy freedom, not just gold [Hook] Fast life, no brakes — play it smart This game cut deep, tear souls apart Fast life, no brakes — watch who ride Even your day ones might switch sides Dope flip, cash grip, trust no smile The streets got love, but it’s fake and wild Fast life, no brakes — eyes on the snakes DJ OG Bones said move for the stakes [Verse 2] Stackin' every dollar like I’m runnin' from time I ain’t tryna flex, just stay off that line Seen too many gone over pride and greed Too many chase clout, but forget to lead I keep mine close — circle real tight Make the wrong call, you’ll lose that light Everybody scream “loyalty” 'til it's tested Pressure expose who fake and restless This life ain’t built for the weak to survive You either stay down or you take that dive I ain’t tryna die rich if I die too soon Tryna leave somethin’ that still touch the room Dope boy dreams come with heavy weight You could win today, lose it all from hate [Hook] Fast life, no brakes — play it smart This game cut deep, tear souls apart Fast life, no brakes — watch who ride Even your day ones might switch sides Dope flip, cash grip, trust no smile The streets got love, but it’s fake and wild Fast life, no brakes — eyes on the snakes DJ OG Bones said move for the stakes [Outro – Spoken] Money fast, but time don’t wait You can get rich, just don’t tempt fate I seen it all, from broke to bold But never trade peace just to stunt with gold
