Keep Going

It takes different strokes to understand the world

And no one can salvage the one pearl

Its gonna take a few more years for you my boy

That’s what he said and then he left me to my toys

That’s the day he walked right out and never returned

And now some days I start to shout, forever perturbed

So we keep going…

The worlds a scary place, there’s demons all around

Many we rarely face when we seek that higher ground

But when you got a slick rap and the beats fat, the demons leave you for the death cuties on tenth ave

They’re walking up and down, not knowing what’s around, caught in the furnace without a sound

No one’s got nothing to say to them save for those that condemn

Only they hold the ticket to heaven

So we keep going…

Let me hold your hair and beat back the tears honey,

we gonna pull through, gonna get some money

And then we gonna purchase the dream, the only way life’s supposed to be,

See the gleam in my eyes as I feel immense pride

The weight is lifting from my shoulders, stronger thighs

Brighter skies, no more cries, just fruitful ties, lovin life, you and I

So we keep going…

Just a few more years of this and we’ll move on

Toward a better place and know what’s beyond

They got beds and baths across oblivion

You’ll see in due time the riches and stored mines

Of soft beds, rest your head and think beautiful things instead

So we keep going…
