Keep'n It Real

Uh, thats right
 Reality check, you nah mean?
 Street life, zimmie?
 Dukes
 Scorpion, yeah
 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 hitched
 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'll realise 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
 Keep'n it real
 Gotta big up all my peoples who'd be working on the future
 Though they know they gotta struggle
 Keep'n it real
 To all my homies working on the nine to five
 And doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble
 Keep'n it real
 Although sometimes I know it seems impossible
 There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
 Keep'n it real
 If things are bad as they can be
 You could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow
 I never got to have myself the house, the mansion or the Benz
 I'm not the kinda brother who'd be making mad ends
 I got myself a girl, but we'd be kicking it as friends
 It's not enough for me but 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?
 Tell me you prepared to lead
 So persevere and you'll succeed
 Keep'n it real
 Gotta big up all my peoples who'd be working on the future
 Though they know they gotta struggle
 Keep'n it real
 To all my homies working on the nine to five
 And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
 Keep'n it real
 Although sometimes I know it seems impossible
 There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
 Keep'n it real
 If things are bad as they can be
 You could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow
 All the harsh realities
 Appears to come, in twos and threes
 Don't worry, 'cause there'd be a better day
 One thing I can promise you, just keep on keep'n on
 I swear to you, there's gonna be a brighter day

 That's right, see me, yeah
 Give thanks for what you have, ya know
 And when you think that it's bad
 There's always somebody that's worse
 Know what I'm sayin'
 Give Jah blessings, zimmie?
 Wa-wa, wa-wa
