[Chorus: Brendon] You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling, That you're gonna keep losing You gotta come back strong Oh oh You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling That you're gonna keep losing, You gotta come back strong Oh oh
[Verse 1: Travie] He spent most of his youth With his head down Chubby, fugly, awkward walk and not much of a talker. He was good at setting bad examples But bad at math, crunch time He kept it moving like the lunch line Working on his salad bars And fruit punch lines His simple triplets had his English teachers tongue tied, As he starts pirouette for perfection And Darren Aronofsky black swan refection
He plucked feather from his back And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something more, he wasn't sure He plucked feather from his back And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something more
You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling That you're gonna keep losing You gotta come back strong Oh oh You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling That you're gonna keep losing You gotta come back strong Oh oh
[Verse 2: Travie] Raised in a broken home built brick By government cheese brick Back and forth between parents Making us sea sick On his knees every night Praying for a little change But the tooth fairy was broke And offered little hope He used to stand in front of mirrors But he ain't have to search far He was smart and made a pact with himself With a smirk and made a vow that one day His dad would never ever have to worry
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something more, he wasn't sure He plucked feather from his back And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something
