[Chorus: Jaheal]
These days I gotta keep my people close
Enemies closer
I never know who I might need the most
Carry the toaster
Blam
Look over my back at all times
Better days came a long way out from all the hard times
These days I gotta keep my people close
Enemies closer
I never know who I might need the most
Carry the toaster
Blam
Look over my back at all times
Better days came a long way out from all the hard times
[Verse 1: Jaheal]
I remembеr I was sleeping on the floor
Down the road
Working evеry day but nigga I was broke
Hurt my soul
I was thinking but if I could flip an O
Just have a little extra money for the studio
Nah I won't
Papa raised me different
Knew that if wanted to ball I just had to play position
Knew that all these niggas was flexing with rent money when they taking pictures
I just had to take it different
Now I do not even flex
That's how you know my paper different
Keep my circle small so I don't worry bout no snaking niggas
I ain't never ever have to worry if my cake was missing
And if a nigga try to take what I earned he gon have to take me with him
Better have that draco with him
These days I gotta keep my people close
Diamonds so wet you could probably see the coast
Put your head up to it you can hear the ocean
But if you touch it imma leave you soaked
Leave you floating that's just something you gon need to know
[Chorus: Jaheal]
These days I gotta keep my people close
Enemies closer
I never know who I might need the most
Carry the toaster
Blam
Look over my back at all times
Better days came a long way out from all the hard times
[Verse 2: Cloudy Nueve]
A lot of shit has changed cause all my change is bills now
I done came from hitting stains to rocking stainless steel
My aim is probably fame
Plus my main bitch got me faded
Still I'm poppy poppin on your playlist
Know your nigga probably hate it just cause I'm doing my thing woah
I shift from the North to the South side
When I walk in bitches mouth wide
Got a problem then the homies outside
Niggas think I made it
Fake love just save it
Here cause I waited
I brought up from nothing
Know I just replay it
Yeah yah yah yah yah
