Keep On Keepin' On (2018)

[Intro]

Oh yeah, mm

Mm

[Verse 1]

Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal

Second hand clothes

Surviving is pivotal

Praying to God at night

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

And happiness is hard to find right now

[Chorus]

You got to keep on keepin’ on (Oh)

You got to keep your head up high (Gotta keep your head up high)

You gotta work with what you've got (Oh)

And someday you will fly

You got to keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin’ on)

You got to keep your head up high (Head up high)

You gotta work with what you've got (Oh yeah)

And someday you will fly

[Verse 2]

Lookin' out the window to the 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, seems so sad

Seein' other kids with their Timbs on

Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one, had one

Longing for the day when you get your chance to shine

Don't worry, there'll come a time

[Chorus]

You got to keep on keepin’ on

You got to keep your head up high

(Oh, you gotta keep your head up high)

You gotta work with what you’ve got (Ooh)

And someday you will fly (Ooh)

You got to keep on keepin' on (Keep on, baby)

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you’ve got

And someday you will fly (Oh)

[Bridge]

Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex, oh

Why did God choose to make my life so complex? Oh

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 soon (Oh)

[Chorus]

You got to keep on keepin' on

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you’ve got

(You gotta work with what you've got, baby)

And someday you will fly

Keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)

You got to keep your head up high

You gotta work with what you've got (Oh)

And someday you will fly

[Outro]

Got to keep on keepin' on

You got to

You gotta work with what you've got
