Lyrics
Keep It Low in the 305
Intro
Rain on the Palmetto, 2 AM, I-95 glow
Carol City silence, only the 808s know
Verse 1
Overtown corner store still lit at 11:58
Rent envelope on the dash, court date in my head
Publix lines moving slow, AC fighting the heat
Family house on 79th, same cracks in the concrete
I watch the lights flicker, count every dollar twice
Say less than I know, keep the rest in the rice
Brownsville boys nodding, Allapattah eyes low
Have more than you show, that’s the only code
Chorus
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Say less than you know, let the city talk slow
They can watch from the Turnpike, they can watch from the block
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Verse 2
Weight of the silence heavier than the light bill
Lauderhill nights where the pride get you killed
Every phone call from the county, every “how you holding?”
I swallow the answer, keep the rest in the folding
Florida City heat make the secrets sweat out
But I wipe my brow clean, never let the truth shout
Motel room shadows dancing on the wall
Have more than you show, that’s the only law
Chorus
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Say less than you know, let the city talk slow
They can watch from the Turnpike, they can watch from the block
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Verse 3
Mirror in the rearview showing the same man
Liberty City raised me, taught me how to stand
On the quiet when the wolves circling the lamb
Every smile I give them hides the full hand
Verse 4
The enemy is the flex, the enemy is the post
The enemy is the loud ones who end up as ghosts
Allapattah taught me silence is the best toast
Keep it low when the city wants you to boast
Chorus
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Say less than you know, let the city talk slow
They can watch from the Turnpike, they can watch from the block
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show
Verse 5
Lesson passed down on the 62nd bus stop
Old head in the back seat, voice low, eyes locked
“Boy, have more than you show, say less than you know”
Then he stepped off in the rain, left the code
Outro
Rain on the Palmetto… hard stop.
Loop
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show.
Say less than you know, let the city talk slow.
They can watch from the Turnpike, they can watch from the block.
Keep it low in the 305, more than you show.
