B.o.B - Play for Keeps lyrics
[B.o.B - Play for Keeps lyrics]
How much must I repeat? We
Only play for keeps
No time-outs, no free throws, no refs
No penalties
No handouts, no pit stops, no cheat codes
No sleep but the drinks are on us
If you with it then pull up a seat
When you’re roaming through the
Jungle talk is nothing, talk is cheap
Time is money, money is
Power, power corrupts eventually, damn
So what are the options? What are
The choices left for me?
What other rule is left to break? I guess
My fate is a quest for me
Man I’m a dog that ain’t got no leash
Man got a crib, it ain’t got no lease
Man got a flow that ain't got no brain
But, I still get brain, no hands no teeth, uh
Nowadays, niggas are killas on the beat
But where I was raised all of
The killas was down the street
Better do your research
Feeling like I fell out of the
Sky and landed feet first
My squad go hard, my squad go concrete
Watch my team work hell yea
You can tell that the boy finna eat
Cause I took my seat first
3 course meal, full entrée
Refills and I want my dessert
So why not make a toast?
Tomorrow could always be worse
Now keep them bottles coming by the kiloliter
And get that Ana off your chest
Try to keep a clean shirt
I’m so Grand Hustle
You ain’t even in my league sir
What’s up with these nerds?
They be out here, gettin’
Their salads tossed
Gettin’ their leaves turned
The game just ain’t what it used to be
The quality is blurred
But a dying breed survives
And a dynasty emerged
So put it in the air if you entirely concur
She call me hippie cause I
Live without any concern
Up on this green earth
I’m on them green herbs yeah, yeah, yeah
I stay in them trees like the Keeblers
And they say that I look higher in person
As a kid I played in the yard
But now I’m astro turfing
I lived the actual version of
The fantasies they utter
Made up stories of threesomes
They must just be seeing double
Run for cover, here comes trouble
My heart is going cold so I
Gotta sleep with warmer covers
Polar bear pimpin’, solar flare spittin’
Somebody tell ‘em that this
Is professional stuntin’, don’t attempt it
Society is twisted, they tryna take us under
So when you see them folks
Don’t forget to warn a brother
I made it out alive but still
The battle is a struggle
Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered
They mad cause I murdered the game
And their name wasn’t in the will you see
Most of these haters are mad rappers who
Just still waiting on a deal
And they jealous of my success cause my
Shoes cost more than a bill
But, I’ll never sit down at another table
Unless I’m invited to the meal
To some it’s like conquering mountains
To me it’s like stepping on hills
Remember the images in your mirror can
Be bigger than they appear
And the truth can be hard to swallow
Depends on the size of the pill
And by the looks it’s about the time
That you had your prescription filled
My life, full length feature presentation
There are no intermissions
No time for commercial breaking
A fighter in his prime
A legend in the making
There’s no debating when you let
Your numbers make the statement
How much must I repeat? We
Only play for keeps
No time-outs, no free throws, no refs
No penalties
No handouts, no pit stops, no cheat codes
No sleep but the drinks are on us
If you with it then pull up a seat
Only play for keeps
No time-outs, no free throws, no refs
No penalties
No handouts, no pit stops, no cheat codes
No sleep but the drinks are on us
If you with it then pull up a seat

Jungle talk is nothing, talk is cheap
Time is money, money is
