Keep'n It Real

Uh, thats right Reality check, you nah mean? Street life, zimmie? Dukes Scorpion, yeah

When I was young, I used to dream of being rich Have a lot of houses and cars, couldn't know which one was which And finding me a chick and getting hitched Living 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 having more is really less So take a look inside yourself, you'll realise 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'd be working on the future Though they know they gotta struggle Keep'n it real To all my homies working on the nine to five And doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble Keep'n it real Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows Keep'n it real If things are bad as they can be You could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion or the Benz I'm not the kinda brother who'd be making mad ends I got myself a girl, but we'd be kicking it as friends It's not enough for me but 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 you prepared to lead So persevere and you'll succeed

Keep'n it real Gotta big up all my peoples who'd be working on the future Though they know they gotta struggle Keep'n it real To all my homies working on the nine to five And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble Keep'n it real Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows Keep'n it real If things are bad as they can be You could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow

All the harsh realities Appears to come, in twos and threes Don't worry, 'cause there'd be a better day One thing I can promise you, just keep on keep'n on I swear to you, there's gonna be a brighter day

Back in the days I used to dream of being rich Have a lot of houses and cars, couldn't know which one was which And finding me a chick and getting hitched Living 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 having more is really less So take a look inside yourself, you'll realise 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'd be working on the future Though they know they gotta struggle Keep'n it real To all my peoples working on the nine to five And doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble Keep'n it real Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows Keep'n it real If things are bad as they can be You could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow

That's right, see me, yeah Give thanks for what you have, ya know And when you think that it's bad There's always somebody that's worse Know what I'm sayin' Give Jah blessings, zimmie? Wa-wa, wa-wa Wa-wa, wa-wa
