Keep It Real (Swingers Mix)
Uh that's right, reality check
You know what I mean
Street lifes eh, [Incomprehensible], Scorpion yeah uh
When I was young, I use 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 ditch
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
Take a look inside yourself, you'll 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
Keep' it real, gotta big up all my peoples
Who be working on the future
Though they know they gotta struggle
Keep' it real, to all my homies working on the nine to five
And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep' it real, although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep' it real, if 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 be making mad ends
I got myself a girl but we be kickin' it as friends
Is not enough for me now 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 are you prepared to lead
So persevere and you'll succeed
Keep' it real, gotta big up all my peoples
Who be working on the future
Though they know they gotta struggle
Keep' it real, to all my homies working on the nine to five
And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep' it real, although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep' 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 two's and three's
Don't worry 'cuz 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 use 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 ditch
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 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
Keep' it real, gotta big up all my peoples
Who be working on the future
Though they know they gotta struggle
Keep' it real, to all my homies working on the nine to five
And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep' it real, although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep' it real, if things are as bad as they can be
You could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow
That's right, see me, yeah, give thanks fa wha you have, ya kno
And when you think that it's bad
There's always somebody that's worse you know what I'm sayin'
Give Jah blessing, see me, wa wa, wa wa
