Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two
I can keep a secret from my mama
I can keep a secret from my pa
I keep myself out of trouble, oh yeah
Stay one step ahead of the law
And I can keep it from my neighbors
It ain't like they even care
But I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[Verse 2]
It's the patronage of strangers
That's keeping me from being broke
But when they hand over the paycheck to me
They have to wonder where it goes
'Cause I never seem to save it
I sure ain't wasting it on clothes
It's a mystery to you but there's a guy at the store that knows
[Verse 3]
'Cause by eleven in the morning (Eleven in the morning)
I'll find him selling smokes (Find him selling smokes)
Laughing in another language (In another language)
Well I know it's just a joke (Know it's just a joke)
By seven in the evening (Seven in the evening)
I'm darkening the door (Darkening the door)
Just hidin' from the world
Lord, it's so hard tryna keep a secret in that goddamn store
[Verse 4]
He's there seeing me buying cigarettes
He's there to see me buying beer
He's never seen me on the internet, yeah
And five o'clock is nowhere near
But every day can be the weekend if you can walk a couple floors
Take that three story tour
And make sure your talkin' money
When you're rocking with the boss at the store
[Verse 5]
I'm rockin' with the boss
I can't keep a secret (Can't keep a secret)
From the guy at the store (Guy at the store)
No, I can't keep a secret (Can't keep a secret)
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't lie anymore (Lie anymore)
I can't keep a secret (Can't keep a secret)
From the guy at the store (Guy at the store)
Try like before?
[Verse 6]
'Cause you can lie with your expression
Or lie with the things you say
But you can't lie with your dollars
Nah, babe, your dollars, they give you away
And all the faces on the paper
The faces from the paper glare
That's why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
[Verse 7]
All my money in my pocket, yeah, yeah
There's a fire burning there
That's why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
Yeah, it's glaringly apparent why I can't keep a secret
From the guy at the store
So why should I attempt it when I can't keep a secret
From the guy at the store downstairs?
[Verse 8]
Yeah
