Keep Me Down
SCARFACE

This song is about a nigga always trying to keep you down

You know you got to touch that


We made something from nothing and vowed to never tear it apart

We turned the street hustle into an art

That would quickly change life forever for us

No more riding bikes or catching the bus


We on the roll up, money to fold up

With cognac and cooked yola

Got the neighborhood about to blow up, but hold up

I see this van sittin', this old cat in a fitted

Trying to get your little homey tore up


Yo bruh, we ain't working on this corner take your ass on, dog

â€~Fore you make me feed your ass to my hogs you fucking fagot

I know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide me

Or with my 44 so you can 45 me


You put this shit off in our neighborhoods and sweat us

And when you finally catch us up you give us letters

A cold thing just when a nigga reach his gold man

You hand him a case for easing out the dope game and I'm


Watching us unfold with the times

He don't really want a nigga to climb

You'd rather separate me from my family forever

Instead of trying to keep us together

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down


So what I rap about these streets

That don't make me be no less of a man

Than a person that do work with his hands

It's bad enough I got to deal with all these pressures that stand

You tryin' to make me stray away from my plan

Know what I'm sayin'?


I'm from the gutter, where all we had was one another

No wheat bread to butter, from one bed to the other

All uncles and no brother my mother's at work

My grandfather was my dad and when he died it hurt


And as I hold back the tears my eye-wells swell

I been praying for heaven, I been living in hell

And these niggas in my age group is dead or either locked up

The bitches no better, they smoked out or knocked up


But I still love my hood, that's where it started

Ain't no hard feelings, we partners nigga, regardless

That's why you always see me coming around

â€~Cause I could never turn my back on my town but still I'm


Watching us unfold with the times

He don't really want a nigga to climb

You'd rather separate me from my family forever

Instead of trying to keep us together

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down


Watching us unfold with the times

He don't really want a nigga to climb

You'd rather separate me from my family forever

Instead of trying to keep us together

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down


Money never changed me

Money changed the people around

Now they plot to try to keep me down

But still I rise like yeast


Your whole conversation â€~bout B

Fuck a nigga talking bout me, I'm a G

The realest motherfucker ever done it

You can't continue to pimp me and y'all eat from it


So fuck every soul who ever felt like I owed

Them a god damn dime, or a god damn rhyme

Or a god damn chance, motherfucker you sad

You a grown ass man, holding a nigga hand


Now get out on your own, stop depending on your homes

To chuck you a bone, and stop throwing stones

And that goes for everybody thinking it's them


Fuck you, you and you her

Him and him, Tom, Dick and Kim

All of y'all stand accused saying fuck to me

And I done bought your children's shoes I'm


Watching us unfold with the times

He don't really want a nigga to climb

You'd rather separate me from my family forever

Instead of trying to keep us together

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down


Watching us unfold with the times

He don't really want a nigga to climb

You'd rather separate me from my family forever

Instead of trying to keep us together

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down
