Above the Bodega (Local Business)

[00:26.03] One, two
[00:27.40] I can keep a secret from my mama
[00:28.25] I can keep a secret from my pa
[00:31.12] I keep myself out of trouble
[00:36.97] Stay one step ahead of the law
[00:40.91] And I can keep it from my neighbors
[00:45.06] It ain't like they even care
[00:49.18] But I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[01:00.29] It's the patronage of strangers
[01:05.97] That's keeping me from being broke
[01:10.50] But when they hand over the paycheck to me
[01:14.03] They have to wonder where it goes
[01:18.12] Because I never seem to save it
[01:22.12] I sure ain't wasting it on clothes, nor soap
[01:26.29] It's a mystery to you but there's a guy at the store that knows
[01:34.60] Because by eleven in the morning (eleven in the morning)
[01:40.05] I'll find him selling smokes (find him selling smokes)
[01:44.16] Laughing in another language (in another language)
[01:47.96] But we all know a joke's a joke (a joke's a joke)
[01:52.55] Then by seven in the evening (a joke's a joke)
[01:56.58] I'm darkening the door (darkening the door)
[02:00.43] Yes, darkening the door
[02:03.33] Lord, it's so hard trying to keep a secret in that god damn store
[02:07.43] He's there to see me buying cigarettes
[02:20.79] He's there to see me buying beer
[02:25.33] He's never seen me on the internet
[02:29.31] And five o'clock is nowhere near
[02:33.52] But every day can be the weekend
[02:37.83] If you can walk a couple floors
[02:41.88] Take that three story tour and make sure your talking money
[02:45.67] When your rocking with the boss at the store
[02:48.95] I'm rocking with the boss
[02:51.99] I can't keep a secret (can't keep a secret)
[02:56.24] From the guy at the store (guy at the store)
[02:59.28] I can't keep a secret (can't keep a secret)
[03:04.17] I couldn't lie anymore (lie anymore)
[03:08.16] I can't keep a secret (can't keep a secret)
[03:12.23] From the guy at the store (guy at the store)
[03:17.95] Why try like before?
[03:22.24] Because you can lie with your expression
[03:26.00] Or lie with the things you say
[03:30.16] But you can't lie with your dollars
[03:34.48] Nah, babe, your dollars, they give you away
[03:38.21] And the faces on the paper
[03:42.38] The faces from the paper glare
[03:46.96] That's why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[03:55.91] The money in the pocket
[03:59.34] There's a fire burning there
[04:03.71] That's why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[04:11.97] It's glaringly apparent
[04:13.80] Why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[04:20.10] So why should I attempt it
[04:23.60] When I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs?
[04:34.93]
