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]
