Keep On Keepin' On

Ooooh-ooohh hey-yeeeah You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy [VERSE 1:] Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal Second hand clothes Surviving is pivotal Praying to God at night That things'll get better soon I remember when I was in your position Tried to tell people my story But no one would really listen I know times are hard right now Happiness is hard to find right now [CHORUS:] You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy [VERSE 2:] Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad) Seein other kids with their Tims on Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime [CHORUS] [BRIDGE:] Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm) Why did God choose to make my life so complex Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum Trouble is her only source of fun I can almost guarantee you It'll get better soooooon [CHORUS]
