Keep Talking

(album: Growing Out Of It - 1998)

Yeah, 1998 and 99, 2000
Into the millennium
Still ripping up the stage
LBC
It's all about growing out of it, kid

We got a new groove on this scene
And nobody's gonna stop me from living out my dreams
I hear your talking shit about a punching bag
But who was around when you first busted a sag
I hear you're kicking down with your ska shit, watch it!
It might be some trendy ass bullshit
I guess I hear where you're coming from
But you didn't need to talk all that shit, son

Who always stuck his neck out for you?
And who always had your back for you?

So keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
(Yo, brother man, I ain't got no regrets)
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking

Lesson number two:
Always watch your back
Watch your back, bitch

We used to ride side by side
Two intellectuals with nothing to hide
Together we lost our powder virginity
I never thought I had to question your genuinity
Could my eyes lie, could this be true?
Like Caesar to Brutus 'Et tu? Et tu?'
We used to sit and laugh about the lost ones
But you're a part of their plastic world

And who always stuck his neck out for you?
And who always had your back for you?

So keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
(Yo, brother man, I ain't got no regrets)
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking

And who always stuck his neck out for you
And who always had your back for you
Made time to hear your point of view
But all that just went to shit man

Not an hour goes by that I don't think about the day
When I lost my faith in loyalty, friendship dissolved away
February 14th, the day of ol' amore
I never realized what you had in store
Receiver on my ear, the memory's so clear
Insanity knocking at my door, I knew the edge was near
Oh no, don't get me wrong, you're not the only one to blame
I'll never forgive her, for this I feel no shame
But tell me one thing, when you were giving me love advice
Did you have this planned out and why do I pay this price?
I hear around the vine you think I'm thinking of myself
Did it cross your mind backstabbing someone else?
You got an okay heart, crooked smiles none the less
Loyalty, you couldn't live up to test
When it comes to friendship, here's a golden rule
Don't jump your friend's girl when he goes away to school

He comforts, consoles
Gives advice, pretends to be your friend
And when he sees the opportunity
How nice of him, he steps right on in
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Brother man, I ain't got no regrets
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Your insults won't phase me a bit
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
How does that look from where you sit, where you sit?
Keep talking

Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking your shit, keep talking your shit
Keep talking

The difference between you and I
I know when to stop, I know when to stop
The difference between you and I
I know when to stop, I know when to stop
The difference between you and I
I know when to stop, I know when to stop
The difference between you and I
I know when to stop
