Keep'n It Real

reality checking on me

street lights in the

no good

stop them

yeah uh

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 hitch

living the fairy tale life perfect without a ditch

you think that this will bring me happiness

if at the end of every rainbow

there was a treasure chest

sometime having more is really less

take a look inside yourself

you 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

keeping it real

gotta dig up all my peoples

who be working on the future

though they know they gotta struggle

keeping it real

to all my homies working on the nine to five

and doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble

keeping it real

although sometimes i know it seems impossible

there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows

keeping it real

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'll be making mad ends

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

it's not enough well maybe 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 ten

are you prepared to lead

so persevere and you'll succeed

keeping it real

gotta dig up all my peoples

who be working on the future

though they know they gotta struggle

keeping it real

to all my homies working on the nine to five

and doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble

keeping it real

although sometimes i know it seems impossible

there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrow

keeping 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

one thing i can promise you just keep on keeping 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 **

and finding me a chick and getting hitch

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 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

keeping it real

gotta dig up all my peoples

who be working on the future

though they know they gotta struggle

keeping it real

keeping it real

although sometimes i know it seems impossible

there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrow

keeping it real

things are as bad as they can be

you could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow

that's right to me yeah

and when you think that it's bad

there's always somebody that's worse

and i'm saying
