Above the Bodega (Local Business)

One, two
 I can keep a secret from my mama
 I can keep a secret from my pa
 I keep myself out of trouble
 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
 ♪
 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
 Because I never seem to save it
 I sure ain't wasting it on clothes, nor soap
 It's a mystery to you but there's a guy at the store that knows
 Because 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)
 But we all know a joke's a joke (a joke's a joke)
 Then by seven in the evening (a joke's a joke)
 I'm darkening the door (darkening the door)
 Yes, darkening the door
 Lord, it's so hard trying to keep a secret in that god damn store
 ♪
 He's there to see me buying cigarettes
 He's there to see me buying beer
 He's never seen me on the internet
 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 talking money
 When your rocking with the boss at the store
 I'm rocking with the boss
 I can't keep a secret (can't keep a secret)
 From the guy at the store (guy at the store)
 I can't keep a secret (can't keep a secret)
 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)
 Why try like before?
 Because 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 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
 The money in the pocket
 There's a fire burning there
 That's why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
 It's glaringly apparent
 Why I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs
 So why should I attempt it
 When I can't keep a secret from the guy at the store downstairs?
