Keep'n It Real

Uh

That's right

Reality check, you know what I mean

Street life, sinner

Duke

Scorpion

Yeah, uh

When I was young I use to dream of bein' rich

Have a lot of houses and cars, couldn't know which one was which

And findin' me a chick and gettin' hitched

Livin' the fairy tale life perfect without a glitch

You think that this would bring me happiness

If at the end of every rainbow there was a treasure chest

Sometimes havin' more is really less

Take a look inside yourself, you'll realize you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and blue

There's always someone who has it worse than you

Sometimes you gotta pay your dues

So don't worry just push on through

(Keep'n it real)

Gotta big up all my peoples who be workin' on the future

Though they know they gotta struggle

(Keep'n it real)

To all my homies workin' on the 9 to 5

And doin' right to keep themself up out of trouble

(Keep'n it real)

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible

There ain't no need in drownin' in your sorrows

(Keep'n it real)

If things are as bad as they can be

You could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion, and the Benz

I'm not the kind of brother who be makin' mad ends

I got myself a girl but we be kickin' it as friends

It's not enough for me now that depends

Again

Not everything you want is everything you really need

The standard of society is motivated by greed

Are you prepared to follow, tell me are you prepared to lead

So persevere and you'll succeed

(Keep'n it real)

Gotta big up all my peoples who be workin' on the future

Though they know they gotta struggle

(Keep'n it real)

To all my homies workin' on the 9 to 5

And doin' right to keep themself up out of trouble

(Keep'n it real)

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible

There ain't no need in drownin' in your sorrows

(Keep'n it real)

If things are as bad as they can be

You could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow

All the harsh realities

Appears to come in twos and threes

Don't worry 'cause there'll be a better day

Day

Uh

Ah

One thing I can promise you

Just keep on keepin' on

I'll swear to you there's gonna be a brighter day

Back in the days, I used to dream of bein' rich

Have a lot of houses and cars, couldn't know which one was which

And findin' me a chick and gettin' hitched

Livin' the fairy tale life perfect without a gliitch

You think that this would bring me happiness

If at the end of every rainbow there was a treasure chest

Sometimes havin' more is really less

So take a look inside yourself, you'll realize you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and blue

There's always someone who has it worse than you

Sometimes you gotta pay your dues

So don't worry just push on through

(Keep'n it real)

Gotta big up all my peoples who be workin' on the future

There ain't no need in drownin' in your sorrows

(Keep'n it real)

If things are as bad as they can be

You could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow

That's right, see me

Yeah

Give thanks fi weh yuh have enuh

All when you think that it's bad

There's always somebody that's worse

You know what I'm sayin'

Give Jah blessings see me

Wa-wa, wa-wa

Wa-wa, wa-wa
