[Intro]
Yo, R. Kelly, what you going to do with this mix, man?
Yo man, I'm just going to keep it street
Yo, R. Kelly
It's time to give the homies something to dance to
You know what I'm saying?
Push up on one of those cute hotties
Yo, this is what we are going to do
I'ma to take this track
Whip us up one of those nice gorilla beats
Yeah, something like that
I'm going to tell you the real true story
About back in the day
When I was trying to get where I am
Right now
Whip us up a nice intro
[Verse 1]
It's 1990 and the R is on the scene
Yeah, filling up a funky rhythm
Strictly for the streets, you know what I mean
It took some time but here I am now with a swing
Yo R. Kelly, tell them what they told you
[Pre-Chorus]
All we really need is a funky groove
With a street swing, with a little street swing
Something you can get with
Bam, here it is, keepin' it street
[Chorus]
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Yo, bring that beat back
[Verse 2]
Yo back in the days
The girlies turned me down like collars
Yeah, but now they're popping like "Orville Redenbacher"
And now they wanna holler
That's when I decided to whip up a funky track
I took it door to door and this is what they said
[Pre-Chorus]
All we really need from you is a funky groove
With a street swing, with a little street swing
Something you can get with
Bam, here it is, keeping it street
[Chorus]
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Yo, bring that beat back
[Pre-Chorus]
All we really need from you is a funky, funky groove
With a street swing, with a little street swing
Something you can get into
Bam, here it is, keeping it street
[Chorus]
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Let's keep it street
Yo, bring that beat back
