The Almighty RSO - Keep Alive lyrics

[Intro]: You think a gun makes you a tough guy? Let me tell you something. I seen more guys with guns wet their bed than anything. It's when the other guy has a gun and he pulls his out. And then we see who the real tough guy is [Hook: Benzino] {x2} Keep alive loc Cause if you do you go far Watch your back dawg Don't ever sit in parked cars Keep alive yo Don't wanna see ya get shot Watch your back dawg I know you going through a lot Keep alive [Verse One: Tony Rhome] It's all about keeping your head up above the water You can't be g**ning and then be at the club hanging High roller, fronting on a Motorolla n***a it's time to keep it real again Cause they're sentencing n***as that's screaming You can't go from selling half pounds And driving Beamers to a cell that'll hold ya Now your whole sh**'s looking shady Hope your lady and your baby's looking into another n***a's eyes Too many n***as out there be sleeping When they know they got two or three n***as out looking to get even How you gonna play yourself short, money grip? Got caught up in the second stages of getting rich And all he had to do was realize He had enemies with k**er tendencies And I roll with these, type of n***as myself So take it from Tony Rhome and take it stride and keep alive [Hook 2: Benzino] {x2} Keep alive son I know you do a lot of dirt Watch your back kid, don't wanna see you get hurt Keep alive son From all the Feds and all the snitches Watch your back kid, from all the scandalous a** b**hes [Verse Two] The bu*ter to the bread, bread to the bu*ter Straight from the gutter R.S.O. soul slang bang a gangsta strudder Gotta stay well fed In order to do that, it's time to put the bu*ter to the bread I used to be a hustler selling poisoned consumer goods Down for my neighborhood f** another neighborhood Did what I could to make some sort of currency But what I'm doing is left field and jake keeps on sweating me They're never getting me, I won't let 'em see All I can do in jail is die and that's the reason why So when doe got low cause my spot's hot I know a nice vic so it's time to lick some shots When all your ends and everything else to go with it son Instead of biting bullets you'll bite the gun Cause n***as ain't having no tricks in the nine six Any means to survive so I keeps it live [Hook 3: Benzino] Keep alive locs To all the n***as that be banging Watch your back fools From one time where you be slanging Keep alive locs From Berettas and the Glocks Watch your back fools From all the k**er a** cops And keep alive [Verse Three] Everyday life is an everyday thing But it's up to you how you make everything swang (You never know) When it's coming to an end So while the getting's good You best to get all you can We ain't got too many options Yo, but that don't mean to put to your dreams up for adoption They make dreams we en devour to play And like Nino said, "That's the American way." Hey And to my n***as doing crime in the hood On the heels of the OJ verdict, it don't look good "If it don't fit, you must acquit" But for n***as like you and me, that's a bunch of bullsh** When we working with some public counsel imitators We can't afford no Dream Team litigators Watch for the backlash that follows the decision For the poor it means prison n***a listen Keep alive yo [Hook 4: Benzino] Keep alive loc Cause if you do you go far Watch your back dawg Don't ever sit in parked cars Keep alive son I know you do a lot of dirt Watch your back kid, don't wanna see you get hurt Keep alive locs To all the n***as that be banging Watch your back fools From one time where you be slanging Keep alive yo Don't wanna see ya get shot Watch your back dawg I know you going through a lot Keep alive
