Yeah, this is goin` out to everybody in the world whoever been through somethin`, ya know ?
Ya got heavy bonds, ya can`t let it get ya down. Ya got to keep on keepin` strong.
Another day in the heart of the town
And a whole lotta things tryin` to keep a brother down
Got my mind all stressed and I don`t feel right
Ya know I didn`t get no sleep last night, homes
So I reminisce about the days that passed
And all the homies that I had that did not last
It`s kinda deep but they got me for millions
And I`m the homeboy that have to raise their children
Feed their wife, live a good life
Now they talk about the Hammer like I`m a lowlife
Everywhere ya go ya talk about me
And on the inside, homie, you`re killin` me softly
For ten years I gave ya all that I had
Took you from Mississippi to Baghdad
It`s a shame when ya know it`s true
I`m the same man who would die for you
*Keep on, you just got keep on
On`t let `em hurt you
Keep on, you just got to keep on
They don`t deserve you
Keep, keep, keep, keep on
The world is rough and life is deep
But I was even cross up by my real close homies
When they thought I was down with my back against the wall
They gave me a shove and hoped I`d fall
They did not call to see how I feel
Deserted me and that`s real
It gets deep when you on this side
Doin` all you can do to survive, right ?
I held on and I didn`t give up
`Cause I had the Good Lord layin` in the cut
For what I don`t know and for what I can`t see
For what? `Cause He be tellin`me, right?
I thank God that I got my girls
And my little baby boy just joined this world
To my nephews and nieces, our love is strong
But to the rest of y`all I got to keep on
Broken hearts don`t always mend
Especially when they`re broke by your homies
And your best friend to the end
I thought we was dawn
I know better know
Why ? I can`t explain how it feels to know
Deep down inside y`all was never real
And I realize that money is your god
But the things you did to me I took so hard
It wasn`t enough to ruin my life
But you even tried to sabotage a …
And why not leave good enough alone ?
You got my heart feelin` weak but my mind`s still strong
And on I`ll go `cause I`m made like that
In five years I`ll see where y`all are at
Get ready `cause it`s on its way and
The bed y`all made is the bed y`all lay on
I`m movin on
I`m movin` on, I`m movin on
Gotta keep walkin`
Gotta keep tryin`
Gotta keep my head up
