Keep Em Close

(Yadadodoo! That means hello! Hi! Hey!)

(The names have been changed to protect the innocent)

(You know, Nump ain't one to dry snitch or pillow talk, mayne)

(Man, Shadow, you was there)

('member how it went down, bruh?)

Shadow dropped me off at BART

At the Fruitvale Station

[?]

You mighta heard that on your radio station

[?] went to my friend

Looked at him and he grinned and said

"Keep your friends close

But those that you wanna rob, keep them closer"

[?]

So I walked on my merry way

And scrapedy-scraped to San Jose

Stunnas half off [?]

My Vietnamese pahtnas told me that they hog-tied Chairs (Whose Chairs?)

Chad is the boss that throws [?]

It might be pillow talk that got my [?]

The whole hood is lost cause we don't know who to watch now

Keep your friends close

But those that you wanna rob, keep them closer

Now my best friend

Now my best friend are my enemy

Now my best friend

I'm not worried 'bout that Hennessy

I need rounds for my weapon

Stressing worse than a stockbroker gone broke and out of Folgers

Y'all don't know

It feel like the galaxy on my shoulder

Who to trust to discuss

My life, my luck

My wife, my lust

She might be biting the dust (bitch!)

Cause you know lately she been off that stuff, hate me

And I'm like

Keep your friends close

But those that you wanna rob, keep them closer

'noid and exploited, don't know who to talk to

Those that said they love you, now they want to pop-pop-pop-pop

Watch you drown and fumble

Fuck that shit, I ain't humble

I see my [?] try to pitch me wit' a big ass bundle

My uncle's daughter, daughter, my niece say she want me deceased

She learned that from her momma, I ain't talked to her for about three weeks

But I'm sneaky, sneaky

Is that my enemies trying to get me?

Keep your friends close

But those that you wanna rob, keep them closer

(I see you, nigga)

(Man, fuck y'all niggas, you ain't got me!)

(I'mma fuck you up)

(Now get over here, motherfucker)

(Oh shit)

I'm out of breath like a fish out of water

Leaking out my cheese like a jalapeño popper

I'm thinking about my light more than I'm thinking about my daughter

I need to get back to the house to see who really on my roster

I walked in

Something feel wrong

Flicked on the lights and all my shit was gone

Only thing left was a letter under a coaster that said

Keep your friends close

But those that you wanna rob, keep 'em closer
