[Verse 1: Vinia Mojica]
There was a girl in a relationship
Oh, a lovely girl like me (Word)
She had been wanting her man to give up
The cash money (The cash money money, the cash money money, cash money money)
Now there's a boy, he wasn't having it
No, unless she gave up the cheese
Now they're both waiting to see who'll give in
To the other's needs (To the other's needs) (Check, check, check, check it on out, now)
[Verse 2: Trugoy the Dove]
I say Jody got a cat but she won't let it out
Oh tough luck, cause it makes Jack pout
Waiting on the wins, he moves to the next
Searching for the cheese, looking for the text
In the Big Blue in search of the skins
Grinning and laughing, laughing and grinning
Padlock Jody got the whole scene played
No knockin' boots till she's 14K'd
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Waiting for the credit card so she can go and shop
Jack plays the back, just knockin' other socks
'Cause now in the hood he's (Johnny the Fox)
'Til one ring came, Jody blew a spark
Found about Judy 'round the corner in the park
Flipping like a dipstick, hip to the news
Practising the range, bellowing the blues
Jack rolls the carpet in, swift like a skate
"Yo, Jody, yo, I gotta go, I got a date"
Padlock Jody's screaming "Wait, wait, wait!"
"Don't worry, hon," he replies, "I'm keepin' the faith"
[Chorus]
(Like a bat)
I'm keepin' the faith (Like a bat)
Well, I'm keepin' the faith, girl (Like a bat [?])
Come on, come on, come on
I'm keepin' the faith (Like a bat)
Well, I'm keepin' the faith (Like a bat)
Well, I'm keepin' the faith, girl (Like a bat [?])
What you never, what you never
What you never gonna do?
[Verse 3: Posdnuos]
I never do the baseball with you again, no
I'll never do the baseball with you
Your hoochie-coo was so smooth
Was it such a sin to let, let me in?
Hooked by your ever-so-shyness
Want that bush, heard you're from Flatbush
I ran after ya, caught ya
Brought ya to Long Island, stylin' for a while
In my hut, I was on a cut for a peck
A silly Greg Peck
You tried to play me new, Plug One you disconnect
I'd try to touch your hair (Don't touch me)
Yo, I'd try to touch your hair (You would say no)
Is is 'cause you want my financial flaunt?
First you gotta please me, nice and easy
But I guess you want that in reverse
So I stand Plug First can see
We got a serious plot (And)
Turn the other way, ooh what do I spot?
A hoopin' Hey Love whose scent left a trace
Had a stash in [?] with a body that's safe
All to the eight, how you wanna swing?
Forget the rap, check out how we sing
You're banned (What?), you're banned (What?)
You're banned, you're banned (What?)
You're banned (What?), you're banned
Yo, you're banned by the preacher man
Now you play yourself a stool, to me you wanna step
Never mind, love, 'cause the faith is being kept
[Chorus]
(Like a bat)
I said the faith is being kept (Like a bat)
The faith is being kept (Like a bat [?])
Check it out, yo
The faith is being kept (Like a bat)
I said the faith is being kept (Like a bat)
The faith is being kept (Like a bat [?])
[Verse 1: Vinia Mojica]
Ooh, there was a girl in a relationship
Oh, a lovely girl like me (Word)

The cash money (The cash money money, the cash money money, cash money money)
Now there's a boy, he wasn't having it
No, unless she gave up the cheese
Now they're both waiting to see who'll give in
To the other's needs (To the other's needs)
And I'm out
[Outro]
Something tells me this is the beginning of big trouble
Trouble this? I don't know what the trouble is?
