Lyrics Keep’n It Real (Hot Shot 2020) - Shaggy

Yeah
Sometimes you affi look the glass a full instead affi empty ya know?
Pulsam
Kuzerbeem, uh

Yo
When I was young I used to dream of being rich
Have a lot 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 glitch
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 realise you're really blessed
No matter how you're sad and 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 people's who'd be working on the future though they know they gotta struggle
Keep'n it real
To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep'n it real
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, but there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep'n it real
If things are bad as they can be you could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion or the Benz
I'm not the kinda brother who'd be making mad ends
I got myself a girl, but we'd be kicking it as friends
It's not enough for me but that depends, again
Not everything you want is everything you really need
The standard of society is motivated by greed
Are you prepared to follow? Are you prepared to lead?
So persevere and you'll succeed

Keep'n it real
Gotta big up all my people's working on the future though they know they gotta struggle
Keep'n it real
To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep'n it real
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, but there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep'n it real
If things are bad as they can be you could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, yeah

All the harsh realities appears to come, in twos and threes
Don't worry, 'cause there'd be a better day
One thing I can promise you, keep on keep'n on
I swear to you, there's gonna be a brighter day

Keep'n it real
Gotta big up all my people's who'd be working on the future though they know they gotta struggle
Keep'n it real
To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep'n it real
Though sometimes I know it seems impossible, there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep'n it real
If things are bad as they can be, there'd be a brighter tomorrow
Keep'n it real
Gotta big up all my people working on the nine to nine to five
Keep'n it real
All my homies, doing right to keep themselves up outta trouble
Keep'n it real
Though sometimes I know yeah, there ain't no way, no way, no way, no way, no way
Keep'n it real
Things are bad as they can be, there'd be a brighter tomorrow
Ma-ma-ma-ma, ma, ma, ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Oh yeah, keep it real, keep it real my baby
You gotta keep it real, will you?
Keep it real with you
Keep it real, yeah, uh
