Shaggy - Keep It Real

Shaggy
Keep'n It Real

Uh, that's right
Reality checkin on in, streetlife see
Yea, uh

When I was young I used to dream of being rich
Havin lot of houses and cars couldn't know which one to switch
And finding me a chick and gettin hitched
Living the fairytale life, perfect without a glitch
You'd think that this would bring me happiness
If at the end of every rainbow there was a treasure chest
Sometime havin' more is really less
Take a look inside yourself and realize you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and blue,
There's always someone who has it worse then you
Sometimes you gotta pay your dues,
So don't worry just push on tru (through)

(Keep'n it real)
Gotta Big up all my people's who be working on the future
though they know they got a struggle
(Keep'n it real)
To all my homies workin' on the 9 to 5 and doin right to keep themself up outta trouble
(Keep'n it real)
Although sometimes, I know it seems impossible, there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrow
(Keep'n it real)
If things are as bad as they can be, you could be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion, and the Benz
Im not the kind of brother who be making mad ends
I got myself a girl but we be kickin it as friends
Its not enough for me without the Benz, again
Not everything you want is everything you really need
The standard of society's motivated by greed
Are you prepared to follow, tell me you prepared to lead?
So persevere and you succeed

(Keep'n it real)
Gotta Big up all my people's who be working on the future though they know they got a struggle
(Keep'n it real)
To all my homies workin' on the 9 to 5 and doin right to keep themself up outta trouble
(Keep'n it real)
Although sometimes, I know it seems impossible, there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrow
(Keep'n it real)
If things are as bad as they can be, you could 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
Havin lot of houses and cars couldn't know which one to switch
And finding me a chick and gettin hitched
Living the fairytale life, perfect without a glitch
You'd think that this would bring me happiness
If at the end of every rainbow there was a treasure chest
Sometime havin' more is really less
So take a look inside yourself and realize you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and blue,
There's always someone who has it worse then you
Sometimes you gotta pay your dues,
So don't worry just push on tru (through)
