Keep On Keepin On
Ooooh-ooohhhey-yeeeah
You got to keep on keepin onYou got to keep your head up highYou gotta work with what you've gotAnd someday you will flyyyyy
[VERSE 1:]Poor kids pouring cold water in their cerealSecond hand clothesSurviving is pivotalPraying to God at nightThat things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your positionTried to tell people my storyBut no one would really listenI know times are hard right nowHappiness is hard to find right now
[CHORUS:]You got to keep on keepin onYou got to keep your head up highYou gotta work with what you've gotAnd someday you will flyyyyyYou got to keep on keepin onYou got to keep your head up highYou gotta work with what you've gotAnd someday you will flyyyyy
[VERSE 2:]Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concreteDreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feetHard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad)Seein other kids with their Tims onFresh with Air Ones, wish I had oneLongin' for a day when you get your chance to shineDon't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE:]Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)Why did God choose to make my life so complexBreathing to the beat of a slow, sad drumTrouble is her only source of funI can almost guarantee youIt'll get better soooooon
[CHORUS]
