| Uh, that’s right
|
| Reality check
|
| You know what I mean
|
| Street life’s eh
|
| 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
|
| 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’n it real
|
| Gotta GIG up all my peoples who be working on the future
|
| Even though they know they gotta struggle
|
| Keep’n it real
|
| To all my homies working on the 9 to 5
|
| 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 as bad as they can be
|
| You can 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 type 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’n it real
|
| Gotta GIG up all my peoples who be working on the future
|
| Even though they know they gotta struggle
|
| Keep’n it real
|
| To all my homies working on the 9 to 5
|
| 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 as bad as they can be
|
| You can be sure there’ll be a brighter tomorrow
|
| All the harsh realities
|
| Appears to come in twos and threes
|
| Don’t worry 'cause
|
| 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 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 ditch
|

|
| That’s right, see me, yeah
|
| Give thanks for what you have, ya know
|
| And when you think that its bad
|
| There’s always somebody that’s worse
|
