Keeping It Real Lyrics

Verse I
When I was young I used to dream of being rich

Having lots of houses and cars couldn't know which one was which

And finding me a chick and getting hitched

Living the fairytale life perfect without a glitch

You'd think that this would bring me happiness

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

But sometimes having more is really less

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


Hook



No matter how you're sad and blue

There's always someone that has it worse than you

Sometimes you gotta pay you dues

Don't worry just push on through


Chorus



Keeping it real

gotta big up all my people who be working on a future

though they know they gotta struggle

Keeping it real

To all my hommes working on the 9 to 5

and doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble

Keeping it real

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible

They're ain't no need for drowning in you sorrow

Keeping it real

If things are as bad as they can be

you can be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow




Verse II

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

I'm not the kinda brother who be making mad ends

I got myself a girl but we be kicking it as friends

It's not enough but maybe that depends, again

Not everything you want is everything you really need

The standard of society's motivated by greed

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

So persevere and you'll succeed


Chorus



Bridge

All the harsh realities appear to come in twos and threes

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

One thing I can promise you just keep on keeping on

I swear to you there' gonna be a brighter day



Repeat 1st Verse

Chorus
