You and your homie; he with you, that's a bonus
1-1, 2 shots, that's Sabonis
Never had squat, tried keeping up with the Joneses
Try wearing off-knocks, niggas popular with Junior
Keeping up with the Joneses, we'll catch them if we can
The promises made with a smile on your face
Keeping up with the Joneses and catching them as we can
I′ll believe anything, it's a beautiful day
And you keep on talking till your face is blue
Keeping up with the joneses
Keeps you hanging on
