De La Soul
Keepin' the faith

DOVE:
Jody got a cat but she won't let it out
Oh
tough luck 'cause it makes Jack pout
Waiting on the
wins he moves to the next
Searching for the cheese looking
for the text
In the Big Blue in search of the skins/>Grinning and laughing laughing and grinning
Padlock Jody
got the whole scene played
No knockin' boots till
she's 14K'd
Diamond in the back sunroof top/>Waiting for the credit card so she can go and shop
Jack
plays the back, just knockin' other socks
'Cause
now in the hood he's
(Johnny the Fox)
Till one
ring came, Jody blew a park
Found about Jody round the
corner in the park
Flipping like a dipstick, hip to the
news
Practising the range, bellowing the blues
Jack
rolls the carpet in, swift like a skate
"Yo, Jody, yo,
gotta go, got a date"
Padlock Jody's screaming "Wait,
wait, wait!"
"Don't worry, hon," he replies, "I'm
keepin' the faith"
POS:
I'll never do the
baseball with you again
Yo, I'll never do the baseball
with you
'Cause your hoochie-coo was so smooth/>Was it such a sin to let, let me in?
Hooked by your
ever-so-shyness
Want that bush, heard you're from
Flatbush
Ran after ya, caught ya,
Brought ya to Long
Island, stylin' for a while
In my hut, I was on a cut
for a peck
A silly Greg Peck
You tried to play me new,
Plug One you disconnect
I'd try to touch your hair
(You would say no)
Yo, I'd try to touch your hair (You
would say no)
Is is 'cause you want my financial
flaunt?
First you gotta please me, nice and easy
But I
guess you want that in reverse,
So I stand Plug First can
see
We got a serious block
Turn the other way, ooh
what do I spot?
A hoopin' Hey Love whose scent left a
trace
Had a stash in her pocket with a body that's
safe
Ball to the eight, now you wanna swing?
Forget
the rap, yo, Black Sheep, sing
(You're banned,
you're banned)
(You're banned, honey dip,
you're banned)
(You're banned)
Yo,
you're banned
Ya banned by the preacher man
You
played yourself a stew
Now to me you step, never mind
love
The faith is being kept
DOVE:
Now remember
'bout Padlock Jody, here's the fact
Jack little
wick but she was acting wack
Jack wanna lay but laying
ain't exact
For the past four or five she was banned
by the pack
Hip to the witness, putting on a plan
No
money, no more Puddy Tat for the man
Jack knows that honey
means playing a game,
Only wanna bowl, got nabbed for the
fame
Claude Van Damme (God damn)
Sam was the man that
you planned to command
Nothing new about a neighborhood/>You know what? Padlock Jody wanna cut
Jack's
thinking cap, make mine into a pack
"Yo, here's 20,
40, 60, pay me back"
Conscience appears, "Yo Jack, what you
doing?"
"You play the cold while honey here's
cooling?"
"You don't have to if you don't want
to!"
"You don't have to if you don't want...
to!"
So he begins with the ring, ring, ring,
"Hey Judy
girl, how ya doin'
Seen you with another man, what you
doing? Screwing?
Ooh, shame on you! What, you can't
wait
For the big bait? Well, I'mma tell you
straight,
Honey child, I'm keepin' the
faith!"
