Keep On

9-1-1 wasn't a joke

Pistols blaze, young guns get lost in the smoke

There's a war going on between the rich and the broke

It's in the streets, worldwide, overseas and under oath

From day one man was flawed, we fall daily

No man is perfect, word, but we can keep working

Fulfill our purpose, before we're gone with the wind

Storing treasures for the final days and focus on the end (result)

The vinyl plays and I write, my minds stays in the light

And sprays a rhyme to ignite freedom

I'm feeling like it's all over

Standing in the cold to be reminded that I'm still breathing

And I'm leaving this state of mind that got me depressed

All the desires of the flesh, get put to rest

And understand, we can live free in harsh reality

And shine light, when it's to dark to see

Keep on, sun rise to sun fall

Get your back up off the wall and keep

Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather

Only the soul lasts forever

Keep on, sun rise to sun fall

Get your back up off the wall and keep

Keep on, focus on the permanent things

We can't always trust what we see



I'm taking shots at the system like a paparazzi

You can't stop me, from operating properly

I'm set to prosper with no illegal scandal,

Just honest, diligent hard work, I can't stand still

I call my cash cream, it's not about the benjamin's

My cream is medicine, I'm not afraid to spread it thin

Bless a struggling family with some food to eat

I know if in reverse, they would do it for me

I'm looking out for my people in these trife (trifle) times

Children play outside and put their life on the line

It's not all bad, but it's been seeming so lately

Seeing all these teenage girls raising babies

With no fathers, subliminal manslaughter

Young bucks on the block sipping dirty bath water

In glass bottles, feeling betrayed and cursed

Stay encouraged, the last shall be first, I'm saying



Keep on, sun rise to sun fall

Get your back up off the wall and keep

Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather

Only the soul lasts forever

Keep on, sun rise to sun fall

Get your back up off the wall and keep

Keep on, focus on the permanent things

We can't always trust what we see



Goliath strikes and stands larger then my shadow is

I'm not equipt to battle this man handler alone

Built on the rock, evil infiltrates my home

And I'm to honest to God to cast the first stone

Fear factor got me thinking to turn, run the opposite way

Options fade, opposition tossing grenades

I'm not trained in the art of war

I'm not running wild chasing beef, like a carnivore

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like it's not worth the fight

Sometimes I feel like nobody cares

Cried at night and realized, God was right there

So regardless of what's see with physical eyes

(deep inside) I know there's meaning to life

And even when I'm feeling down, defiled, defeated and dry

I can still lift my hands to the sky (keep on)
