Ej To Scotty/The Keep Up by Ej Laflare Lyrics
[Part 1: Ej To Scotty]
[Verse 1]
Fuck that "Ej on some chill shit"
I go from Ej right to Scotty, nigga real quick
I don't give a shit if anybody feels this
But it's about time someone spoke that real shit
Oh Lord
Breanna told me "Know your worth, nigga"
We're so fucking self-conscious that is hurts, nigga
You're trespassing on my fucking turf, nigga
I don't do the beef, speaking bout it makes it worse, nigga
I've been the man since my birth, nigga
Never in the kitchen, but I'm always making work, nigga
All these other niggas quick to spend their money
So if we're going to Furr's, girl you better bring your purse with you
I won't pay for shit you don't wanna eat, then I'll be flat broke
Lying on my back after the last stroke
Because I stay up
My bitch ain't friendly, but that's where I lay up
My nigga told me "Spit that bragging shit"
But I spit that "Making love the morning after" shit
Cause that's the only reason why I'm staying
Ain't no controller in your hand, so nigga why you playing?
You tell me you know my life?
You don't know the half of it
Subtracted more friends than I added, do the math buddy
Cause they were asses, all they ever did was talking shit
My nigga stole every single bitch I was talking with
I ain't kidding
Sometimes he stole them bitches right when I was with em
So the only thing that I could do was watch 'em walk away from me
5 years later, still ain't got nothing to say to me
I'm a muhfucking rap addict
Mostly cause all these muhfuckers laughed at him
I know I took a little break, but then I called my brother back and told him "Nigga, let's get back at it"
He do the mixing
I do the rapping
But we both take home the bitches
It's hereditary
But my daddy married
He gave us the torch, and we are glad to carry
It's been a while since I vented
Wild animal
Don't give a shit about your style, and I meant it
Because these niggas think I'm biting
Only thing I'm biting is these niggas shoulders, cause I'm so demented
Assassinating niggas
They're like "No Scotty!
Whoa Scotty!"
Oh no, I'm so sorry
I guess I don't know my own strength
Saving people from killing theirself, I need no thanks
Oh Lord
Everybody's sounding like shit
Tell me, who the fuck set the boundary like this?
I ain't let 'em
Fuck that, I've been leveled
Even though Marie told my ass we'd be together forever
But we wasn't
I don't take it personal, cause she don't owe me nothing
Cause she don't fucking need my help
She can still do it for me and do it for herself
[Outro]
I go Ej right to Scotty, nigga real quick
Real quick
FPM on that real shit
Ej right to Scotty, nigga real quick
Real quick
Real fucking quick
I go Ej right to Scotty, nigga real quick
Real quick
FPM on that real shit
Ej right to Scotty, nigga real quick
Real quick
Real fucking quick, nigga
[Part 2: The Keep Up]
[Bridge]
FPM on that real shit
[Verse 2]
Last week, my nigga Nature Nate came to Aj's house to play some ball
He'd been going through some problems, had to face 'em all
I can tell he's getting fed up
Cause he's stepping on these niggas necks with cleats, and he won't never let up
He's making sure these niggas never get up
And I guess inside I've always been a little jealous
Cause he even won over my twin
I ain't sure if inside her head, any one of my records spin
But I ain't never even thought to ask
So I just kept making my songs better than the last
Just so I could impress her
Cause I'm getting better
What's the point if I ain't saying nothing clever?
Cause all I fucking talk about is saving lives
I guess it ain't as popular as taking haters lives
But I make a living, and I'm saving people while I do it
I don't need to be popular, my fans are the coolest
How the fuck am I real if I don't voice my opinions?
And the fact that I had a choice don't make much of a difference
And I ain't risking the few friendships that I got all because I feel some kind of way because nobody listens
Ain't nothing wrong with being different
More than 5 years of being distant
I soul search
You can hear that through the whole verse
Ya'll already know, I don't need a fucking "Control" verse
To say "I'm tryna kill everybody, even my niggas"
But they're tryna do the same, so respect is given
The ball's in your court, so I don't need another lob
If I can keep one girl alive, then I've done my job
And I've done it well
If I'm number one, then Mayla's number two, together we're the number twelve
I got a Sunflower, so I don't need nobody's love
So tell me you're with me, or get the fuck up off the bus
Nigga
