Letra de For Keeps - JID

Uh

Two, one

Uh, look

And every time I think the mojo gone

Here come the feelin' I've been tryna find for oh so long

"You can't hang it up now, bro, hold on

People all around the world knowin' your songs"

So this is for the diehards and casuals alike

That press play soon as the clock strikes midnight

Hit up all my posts with the comments and likes

First on the site tryna cop the merchandise

Could damn near recite every single verse I write

Or bought tix to see me on the stage with the mic

And tell me after the show how my songs changed your life

It's y'all energy that's keepin' on the lights (That do)

I was down bad, scribblin' my life in a pad

They said, "Go get a real job, put down the mic, it's a fad," but

Nah, nothin', uh, look (Nothing could keep me away)

Was headstrong and so I kept on

Was fueled by the fact that I was slept on

Wanted to prove to niggas they was dead wrong

I wouldn't take it, take it onto the next song

Told my mama I'd make it, she like, "I hope you right"

Worked up the courage to hit up the local open mics

Me and these raps got a bond so tight

I'm back the next week even if I bombed that night

It's like for real like (Nothing could keep me away)

Uh, look

At Domino's writin' rhymes on the back of a time sheet

Bosses would grind teeth at me fallin' behind

Tryna scroll through my mind to find beats

All I needed was a tempo to latch onto

'Til I could find an instrumental that match

This back when producers wasn't sendin' me packs

I dropped some shit on SoundCloud and people didn't react

I'd be happy just to get ten clicks on a track, nigga

Goddamn, it's bringin' memories back

When my heart was sure, the art was pure

I'm talkin' back when we was packin' out department store

But of course (Nothing could keep me away)

Bruh, and I hit Apache Music, roamin' packed lounge

Let the bouncer know I'm performin', doin' pat-downs

Hit the blunt, wait my turn, play the background (Nothing could keep me away)

(Nah, bruh, I'm not a part of EARTHGANG, bruh, I'm just JID, but appreciate you)

Even though they was all mimickin' the trap sound

I knew this wasn't how that sound

It's only fittin' eventually I lapped clowns

Now give me that crown, pussy (Nothing could keep me away)

Look, uh

From sportin' it even if it got thorns in it

Open my doors for you to explore for four minutes

Critics nitpick to the core, but as long as my core get it

Then fuck 'em, easy, huh (Nothing could keep me away)

Uh, been like this for over a decade

No matter how many times I try and segue

No matter how many heartbreaks, headaches

Affliction and the pain, it's itchin' in my veins

No right or wrong prescription, I'm addicted to the game

Daddy got best bars in the world?

Yes

Nothing could keep me away

Nothing could keep me away

Nothing could keep me away from you
