Uh - thats right Reality check You kno what I mean Street lifes eh Scorpion yeah uh
When I was young I use to dream of being rich Have alot 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 inside you're 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 big up all my peoples who be working on the future 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
Keep'n it real Gotta big up all my peoples who be working on the future 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
And I forgot 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 everthing you want is everything you really need The standard of society is more devated by greed Are you prepared to follow Tell me are you prepared to leave So persevere and you'll suceed
Keep'n it real Gotta big up all my peoples who be working on the future 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
[Hook] All the harsh realities Appears to come into centuries Don't worry cuz 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
