Keepin' It Live Lyrics


Uh oh o, uh uh o, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Uh oh o, uh uh o, ah-ah-ah-ah-ahVerse one:Bringing more noise than pg-we true and flew in life
Leave us-jd and rock a party all night tight nigga
One,two,three,four,five,six,seven
I can rap like hell but make it sound like heaven well
Seven,six,five,four,three,two,one
Jd-what the deal is? lemme get some
How many occasions,you and your liasons
Can't fuck with this phenomenon,division,separated from the norm
Pop a lot of shawn don and celebrate the good times
So get your groove on, pulling on the in-and let's all get high
In the back of my-black on black,you come through in ninety
Bumpin' you remind me with the cops right behind me
I got head rest, genesis played by the brat-hey
Bulletproof windows, for negroes, that wanna act
Don't wanna face the fact, that that's the way we live
Lookin' everyday jig, buyin' everything big-you dig? nigga
You don't wanna' go the distance-surrender-consistence

Allows me the key clock contender
And enter a new millenium,cracking mutherfuckers craniums
Droppin bombs-saddam hussein and nigga's straining
Hit a little,i'm feeling tickles from the nickels I smoked
The sweat trickle,as I slid a little liquor down my throat
It ain't no hope for these nigga's who broke and acting big willy
They dream to see a milly and talk shit before it happen really
Spark up another philly and eyewitness
The brat fulfilling champagne and caviar wishes
The lifestyle of the bitch is famous,make the payment to chante
Embarass nigga's live a hobby-all day harris
Fly me to the moon,soon and very soon stay tuned
Prepare to meet you doom 'cause it ain't no room for youChorusNo matter what they keep on saying and what they thinking
We be keepin' in live,keepin' it live-its' like straight to the scene
It's like that it's da brat just
Keepin' it live,keepin' it we make you say
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,ah-ahh,ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,ah-ahh,ah-ah-ahhVerse two:And if you're feeling for masquerade,i can rock a party today
Breaking parlay as we stack cakes of cheddar
Butter like parkay,wanted in four plates-sex
So-so definitely the best,better watch your step
It's pooky,trap with hits I make 'em clap to this
You knew we was coming back to kick some asses kid
It's nigga's like me that have more fun
Pop mo' bottles than the next one
Supermodel sex and make a portion
Now catch me if you can like the gingerbread man
Fifty grand in my hand sit-tin' on top of the world
Half drunk,high as fuck,shitting hard,legs swinging
Bringing the ruckus to all motherfuckers-woooo
Hey yo,brat you da funk bandit
Act like you know,the baddest sweet habit having mommy to hit the door
Flash it a little,living riddles can't buy the vittles
Get cash,life don't only come once-to let it pass
To all my nigga's rockin' big jewels,brand new shoes and new kicks
Nigga's from the old school that started all this shit
Big time weightholders,dope clocking for years
Nigga's you watched as a shorty thinking that's the way to live
Giving all I got to give,us bitches is pushing sixes
With ten thousand dollar bracelets around they wrist
Legistics,is strictly riches,the other fishes in the sea
Can't be malicious as me,fucking with g'sChorusNo matter what they keep on saying and what they thinking
We be keepin' in live,keepin' it live-its' like straight to the scene
It's like that it's da brat just
Keepin' it live,keepin' it we make you say
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,ah-ahh,ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,ah-ahh,ah-ah-ahh

Shawntae Harris (born April 14, 1974), better known as Da Brat, is an American rapper and actress. Her debut album, Funkdafied, sold one million copies making her the first female rapper to have a platinum-selling album.Regarding her soon-to-be rap name, Harris told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she got the name because she is "a spoiled only child." Harris is the half-sister of actress LisaRaye McCoy

In 1992, Harris got a big break when she won the grand prize in a local rap contest sponsored by Yo! MTV Raps. For the prize, she got to meet Kris Kross, and they in turn introduced her to their producer, Jermaine Dupri, who signed her to his So So Def label. Dupri cultivated Da Brat's image as a "female Snoop Doggy Dogg", and she became one of the first female "reality-based" rappers.

Da Brat's debut album Funkdafied was released in 1994 and entered the rap albums chart at Number #1. The album went platinum, which made her the first female solo rapper to sell one million units. The single also entitled "Funkdafied" reached #1 on the rap singles chart and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. She had a follow-up hit from the same album, "Give It 2 You", which reached #26 on the Hot 100.

In 1996, Da Brat released her second full-length album, Anuthatantrum, which included the single "Ghetto Love" featuring T-Boz of TLC.

During the rest of the '90s, Da Brat came to be known more for her "featured" appearances on other rappers' and R&B singers' albums rather than for her own solo work. She contributed a rhyme to the hip hop remix of Mariah Carey's hit, "Always Be My Baby". She also made her feature film debut that year in Kazaam with Shaquille O'Neal. During the summer of 1997, Da Brat appeared along with Dupri on a remix of Carey's "Honey (So So Def mix)" and recorded the hit remix of "Ladies' Night (Not Tonight)" with Lil' Kim, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Angie Martinez and Missy Elliott. Da Brat was also featured with Kris Kross on their track "Da Bomb" on the album Da Bomb, as well as on their third album Young, Rich and Dangerous.

In 1997, she was featured on "Sock It 2 Me", a track on Missy Elliott's debut album, Supa Dupa Fly. In 1999, she appeared, alongside Krayzie Bone, on the remix to Mariah Carey's cover of Brenda K. Starr's "I Still Believe". She also appeared as a guest artist with Elliott on Carey's remix of "Heartbreaker", and on the remix of Brandy's "U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)". That year, she was also featured on a remix of the Destiny's Child single "Jumpin', Jumpin'".

In early 2000, Da Brat released her third full-length album Unrestricted, which produced the moderately successful singles "That's What I'm Looking For" (U.S. #56) and "What Chu Like" (U.S. #26), featuring soul singer, Tyrese. The album was not well received compared to Brat's earlier work. However, the new album and new millennium did inspire an image makeover for Da Brat. Abandoning her "gangsta" persona, she decided to follow the trend in popular music and attempted to add to her sex appeal; the video for "What Chu Like" featured Da Brat and Tyrese rolling around naked on a beach.

In 2001, Brat continued her trend of being featured on other artist's remixes, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart along with rapper Ludacris on the main remix of Mariah Carey's "Loverboy" and being featured artist on Destiny's Child's "Survivor" remix. Da Brat also appeared as Louise in Carey's 2001 movie Glitter. In 2003, Brat released her fourth album, titled Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz, and appeared on the 4th season of VH1's The Surreal Life.

In 2001, Da Brat pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless conduct after she had beaten a woman with a gun during a dispute over VIP seating in a Buckhead, Georgia, nightclub in 2000. The victim in that incident received six stitches for a head wound. Harris ended up serving a year's probation, performed 80 hours of community service and paid a $1,000 fine.

In 2005, she made a comeback of sorts when she was featured on the remix to the song "I Think They Like Me," by Dem Franchize Boyz, which also featured Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri. The song peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart and #15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2006, she was an onstage guest on Mariah Carey's The Adventures of Mimi Tour in Atlanta, New York City, Long Island, Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles performing her rap verses on the "Heartbreaker" and "Honey" remixes. She was also featured on Kelly Rowland's "Gotsta Go", a bonus track from her 2007 album Ms. Kelly and is also featured on a bonus track from Carey's E=MC² on a track entitled "4real4real". She also co-wrote a song with Mariah Carey called "O.O.C." which appears on E=MC² and contributes backing vocals on the track.In 2007, she participated in the fifth season of the VH1 reality series Celebrity Fit Club.

On October 31, 2007, she was involved in the altercation that ended in assault at a Halloween party at Studio 72 nightclub in Tucker, Georgia. Harris sparred verbally with a hostess, and later, when the hostess proceeded to talk to her manager, Harris attacked her from behind, striking her in the face with a rum bottle. Harris entered a guilty plea to aggravated assault charges. She was sentenced to three years in prison, seven years of probation, and 200 hours of community service. In May 2010 she was released from prison after serving 21 months.
