In this abyss, I'm Christmas, I light it up
I'll be the harmony in dissonance, life is tough
I know it's hard to be an optimist, the sun is set
How can we smile in the apocalypse? I gotta try
You see my childhood tumultuous
Nomadic movement had us dancin' in acropolis
They're battered, bruisin', but the blues is so melodious
I won't contribute to the dim, that'd be egregious
I'm just here to give you 'nother tribute to the roses from the asphalt
My first drums is boilin', temper on the cracked walls
The worst comes and we survive so, go on, clap y'all
The Earth spun, you kept your balance since you're that tall
It got you feelin' off 'cause life is like an onslaught
You feel like peelin' off in a rush, that's prog rock
I know it's scary but the darkness makes the light bright
When it returns, you feel the burn into your eyesight
So light a fire from your roots when you precipitate
And this'll help you through the storm, I spit that triple A
If this my final message pecked into my laptop
Then put this all in bold, size one hundred, make it caps locked
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
I know when the wrappin' paper's gone and the gift bags trashed
Sometimes, we can forget about these gifts we have
So let this be a bow, go and take a bow
'Cause when the show's over, you don't see the crowd
Look, I can't sugarcoat it, there's no sweet spot
Especially in the valley when our feet hot
But there's diamonds in the rough, pressure make diamonds
And when it gets tough, the tough keep goin', keep shinin'
A key component of success is perseverance
If it was all just good reception with no interference
Then we'd all have pesos, be Jeff Bezoz
Might be cheesy like queso, but just say "no"
To the voice inside, who wants to stop your climb
There's a loser version of you tryin' to block your shine
You gotta stare him in the face, tell him he's a bitch, she's a bitch
She's the plankton here to feed the fish, be the shark
Be the light in the dark, when the vampire's comin'
Stab him right in the heart, yeah, knife him apart
If this my final message I got pecked into my laptop
Then put this all in bold, size two hundred, make it caps locked
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
(You gotta) Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on (Everybody)
Keep on, keep on
Shinin', shinin'
Keep on, keep on (My man, Cam Groves)
Keep on, keep on (To my man, Shane Reis)
Keep on, keep on (To all the homies)
Shinin', shinin'
Keep on, keep on (They designed it to bring us down)
Keep on, keep on (We gotta)
Keep on, keep on (Yeah, keep on)
Shinin', shinin', shinin'
You can't tell us shit, we made it this far
Dancin' through some circumstances that were piss-poor
Pitchforked our innocence apart
But we gotta keep on shinin' or we're livin' in the dark
Stop searchin', this the gift right here, this the shit right here
You better find another gear 'cause we don't quit right here
If this my final message, I hope everybody gets it
This the lesson, when you're hurtin' and you're stressin'
All you gotta do is
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
Shinin', shinin', shinin'
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on
You keep on, you keep on, you keep on shinin'
Shinin', shinin', shinin'
Word up, it's Portland's party station, RedEye 95.9
DJ Jon in the buildin'
That was Kanye and an artist named Really Though
Brand new record on G.O.O.D. Music
And, uh, right now, the homie, Spose, just stopped in the studio
What's happenin', man?
