De La Soul
Keep on (Chill Mix)

[Intro]
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'

[Verse 1]
Eighty-sixing it, we was five bricks in it
Firm like a silicon tit in it
Had the sticks and the 40s all thick in it
Workin' hard like we cotton-pickin' it
Now we shittin' it, verb spittin' it
Atom and neutron heads splittin' it
Keep the click, you know whatever syncin' it
Press the record button, start printin' it
Now she winkin' it, eyes checkin' it
Stuffed about a couple-a inch in it
UK represent, U-Kickin it
Wide open, stop you from blinkin' it
We be overseas, battleship sinkin' it
Your rhymes sound like you put no think in it
You out for the Rolly look and the mink in it
While we sportin' the real roller rink in it
Skate like we wearin' the ice to infinite
'Bout it like we runnin' with P and No Limit
Straight and no gimmick, we all 'bout to it
From Piccadilly Circus down to Conduit
Ask how we do it, keepin' the fix in it
Lay some old shit, complete the mix in it
Expenses we trimmin', I'm out to afford
I'm tryna even see the lawn from backyard to the brawl
[Chorus]
From Capetown to Leeds (We just keep on rockin')
We at incredible speeds (We just keep on rockin')
LA over to France, we make your hoes dance
Fulfillin' all your needs (We just keep on rockin')
NY out to London (We just keep on rockin')
You know how we run it (we just keep on rockin)
Whether mountains of Maine or the beaches out in Spain
We out to go sun it (We just keep on rockin')

[Verse 2]
Yo, take your style to the back, to the back of the bus
We front seat drive, no one else steers but us
Never the act of, I activate the jam
That be my life, David J, and you know who I am
The fans pulling cameras out like guns to shoot
We got this rap shit tied without the suit
Lookin' for loot in all the right places to look
And tonight, it's in your pocket, so pay these cooks
'Cause we servin' up a batch of the words to match
Hand-delivered with some drugs that Mace attached (Maceo)
My combo's concrete, ask my fleet
Or better yet, ask your crew who knows defeat
But beyond that, I be the capital cat
Known to dog a girl out with wax, all that
Bring official illustration to woman and man
Solo, individual, group, or clan
Put the [? chap] to the neck to watch you nod
Flippin' rhymes on the even, off the odd
Fresh off the pod, I got the gift, the place
What you need to taste up in your face
Straight with no chase, move on and on
We splicin' projects with some [? herbal-ons]
De La never pitchin', you run of the mill
So watch my infantry storm all over the hill
[Chorus]
Forty below in Alaska (We just keep on rockin')
To the folks in Madagascar (We just keep on rockin')
When we in Philly, eatin' cheesesteak with Aunt Milly
We still gonna blast ya (We just keep on rockin')
Up in the Alps of Switzerland (We just keep on rockin')
To the white cliffs of Dover (We just keep on rockin')
High tech like Japan and out to Scotland
Where they ain't ever sober (We just keep on rockin')

[Verse 3]
It's singulary like the Odd Couple, kinda hot on the pavement
Your style is pretty like floral arrangements
Engaged, but she bitchin' bout the wedding
Seen a lot of ass so where's my ass-headin'?
Miss my Pro-Keds with the stripes on the bottom
Always cross my T's but my I's, I don't dot em
See, the rules ain't the rules if they ain't bein' broke
We old-folkin' it, got you smokin' it
Herb communications 'cause we talk that talk
Whether Yorkshire or New York, New York
Deep in my sleeps, I'm gettin' Nightmares on Wax
Fear can't exist if you got the facts
And if you gots to ask, well, you ain't heard about us
Holdin' more cream than the cream in clam chowders
We deep like Parliament, parts of it
We keeps at all ease from the start to get
[Verse 4]
You can find my rhymes where paperbacks are sold
Place my backbone in it with my heart to hold
I work the zero with the ten in front, so what you want?
How much of it and where? I'll bring it to you fair
My brothers throughout [? Tab] call me [? Fly Care]
Pretty babies call me "baby, come here"
You get on the choke as if throat was filled with strep
While I inject the mic with rep
It ain't nothin' but the step to take, never bringin' it fake
Got the frontier wantin' chicken heads with steaks
I paint this whole scene magnificent, magnanimous
Distort the mental court like cannabis
For those who want the play, bring the pay
While I be rippin' rhymes at the dock or the bay
Push it back on the fader (Nah, turn it up, kid)
While the beats stay bangin', directly engineered

[Chorus]
Damn, we in the bush of Nigeria (We just keep on rockin')
Diggin' the dirt in Atlanta (We just keep on rockin')
Smokin' that what in Amsterdam, just me and my man
While we duck in Dantana (We just keep on rockin')
Now we in the middle of Queens (We just keep on rockin')
Jumpin' like Mexican beans (We just keep on rockin')
Peace to my folks in Iraq, we sew the whole map
And stitch the inseams (We just keep on rockin')

[Outro]
Word up (We just keep on rockin')
International style (We just keep on rockin')
Takin' it from the US to the UK with my man Ease
You know how we do it, please, oh, please (We just keep on rockin')
Got [?] on the board (We just keep on rockin')
[? Cornego] in the crib-o (We just keep on rockin')
Wonderwhy in the area
ICL posse in the place to be (We just keep on rockin')
You know how we do
De La, Mr. Maceo
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
We just keep on rockin'
Brick wall way, six feet tall way, you know how we do
Peace
