Keep it a Buck Keep it a buck, I walk in, the room get tense Gold on my wrist, but my words got common sense It’s getting real messy, they trip on the same loose thread Smile in your face, then they switch when the lights go dead You can’t trust a liar, they be lying with a clean mouth I read every angle, every rumor, every weak route My swagger got swagger, yeah, the mirror need a refund You weirdos keep peeking, I keep moving like a freight run (Woo!) I got a slick tongue, quick grin, cold eye Name in the air and they folding like a bad lie Talk big, then they vanish when the pressure get applied I don’t chase a fake wave, I let the real ride (Talk to 'em!) Uh, I see it all The grin, the stall, the fall Uh, I keep my core When the snakes start to crawl Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) It’s getting real messy (Real messy!) Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) Firmly holding my cone, I don’t trust the confetti Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) My swagger stay deadly Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) You weirdos can’t test me (Facts) I came with a calm flex, hard facts, soft smile (Yeah…) They want the spotlight, I want encrypted cash files (Secure that) Every “my bad” sound practiced, every tear look staged I can hear the switch clack in the middle of the praise (I hear you) Been around the block, seen the fake turn prime time (Every day) Seen the same ones fold when the clock hit crunch time (Flipped!) I’m a whole mood, no clone, no costume "Can he write rhymes? Sounds like a ol’ fool." "You a hater, huh? I thought you said you was a hustler..." "I had them grams..." "Grams ain’t hustling, you just waited for people to come. A hustler is a mover and shaker making stuff happen. I don’t know what that is you do, brotha. You only hot as your last fire." Keep it a buck... would’ve, could’ve, or should-be—I did Just talking future tenses ain't no way to live (No way!) They talk slick, I let it pass I can spot the crack in the glass They move strange, I move past One real step, and the doubt don’t last Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) It’s getting real messy Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) Firmly holding my cone, I don’t trust the confetti Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) My swagger stay deadly Keep it a buck (keep it a buck) You weirdos can’t test me Keep it a buck Keep it a buck It’s getting real messy (real messy) Keep it a buck Keep it a buck My swagger got swagger (yeah)more
