[00:00.67]B.o.B - Play For Keeps
[00:04.94]Splendidyang
[00:08.61]
[00:13.80]How much must I repeat?
[00:15.40]We only play for keeps
[00:17.08]No time-outs, no free throws
[00:18.65]No refs, no penalties
[00:20.39]No handouts, no pit stops
[00:22.06]No cheat codes, no sleep
[00:23.66]But the drinks are on us
[00:25.16]If you with it then pull up a seat
[00:26.67]
[00:27.19]When you're roaming through the jungle
[00:28.56]Talk is nothing, talk is cheap
[00:30.07]Time is money, money is power
[00:31.62]Power corrupts eventually, damn
[00:34.05]So what are the options?
[00:35.16]What are the choices left for me?
[00:36.65]What other rule there's left to break
[00:38.24]I guess my faith is a quest for me
[00:39.97]Man got a dog and ain't got no leash
[00:41.66]Man got a crib, it ain't got no lease
[00:43.24]Man got a floater that got no brain
[00:44.87]But I still get brain, oh it has no teeth
[00:46.84]Nowadays, niggas the killas on the beat
[00:50.68]But where I was raised all of the killas was down the street
[00:53.34]Better do your research
[00:54.80]Feeling like I fell out of the sky and landed feet first
[00:58.06]My swag go hard, my swag go country, watch my theme work
[01:01.46]Hell yea, you can sail that, the boy fend to it cause I took my seat first
[01:04.84]3 course meal, full entrée, refills and I want my desert
[01:08.07]So why not make a toast? Tomorrow could always be worst
[01:11.46]Now keep them bottles coming by the killer liter
[01:14.11]And get that Ana off your chest, try to keep a clean shirt
[01:18.14]I'm so grand hustle, you ain't even in my league sir
[01:21.49]What's up with these nerds?
[01:23.18]They be out here, gettin' their silenced off, gettin' their leads heard
[01:26.51]The game just ain't what it used to be, the quality is blurred
[01:29.95]But a dying breed survives and a dynasty immerse
[01:33.19]So put it in for out if you entirely concur
[01:36.41]She call me hippie cause I live without any concern
[01:39.78]Up on this green earth, I'm on them green herbs
[01:43.07]Yea yea yea, I stay in them trees like the keblers
[01:48.39]And they say that I look higher in person
[01:50.38]As a kid I played in the yard, but now I'm astro turfing
[01:53.70]I lived the actual version of the fantasies they utter
[01:56.97]Map stories of threesomes, they must just be seeing double
[02:00.97]Run for cover, here comes trouble
[02:03.69]My heart is going cold so I gotta sleep with warmer covers
[02:06.98]Polar bear pimpin', solar flare spittin'
[02:10.35]Somebody tell 'em that this is professional stuntin' and don't attempt it
[02:13.67]Society is twisted, they tryna take us under
[02:17.05]So when you see them folks, don't forget to warn a brother
[02:20.47]I made it out alive but still the battle is a struggle
[02:23.75]Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered
[02:27.04]The masters have murdered the game
[02:28.57]And their name wasn't in the wheel
[02:30.27]You see, my citizens are some mad rappers who's still waiting on a deal
[02:33.56]And they jealous of my success cause my shoes cost more than their bill
[02:37.00]But I'll never sit down at another table unless I'm invited to the meal
[02:40.39]To some it's like conquering mountains, to me it's like stepping on heels
[02:43.53]Remember the images in your mirror can be bigger than they appear
[02:46.92]And the truth can be hard to swallow, the pivenous eyes of the peal
[02:50.24]And by the looks it's about the time that you had your prescription sealed
[02:54.17]My life, fooling speech or presentation
[02:56.99]There are no intermissions, no time for commercial breaking
[03:00.40]A fighter in his prime, a legend in the making
[03:03.57]There's no debating when you let your numbers make the statement
[03:06.96]
[03:07.57]How much must I repeat?
[03:08.83]We only play for keeps
[03:10.32]No time-outs, no free throws
[03:11.95]No refs, no penalties
[03:13.57]No handouts, no pit stops
[03:15.31]No cheat codes, no sleep
[03:16.96]But the drinks are on us
[03:18.44]If you with it then pull up a seat
[03:20.44]
