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

Yeah
Sometimes you af fi look pon di glass ah full
Instead of half empty yah know?
Pulsam, Kurzerbeem
Yo
When I was young
I use 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 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 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 peoples who 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 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
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
I never got to have myself the house, the mansion, and the Benz
I′m not the kind 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 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 peoples who 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 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
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'll 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 peoples who 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 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 as bad as they can be
There'll be a brighter tomorrow
(Keep′n it real)
Gotta big up all my peoples working on the nine to five
(Keep'n it real)
All my homies, doing right to keep themselves out of trouble
(Keep'n it real)
Though sometimes I know yeah
There ain′t no way, no way, no way
(Keep′n it real)
Things are bad as they can be
There'll be a brighter tomorrow
Ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma
Yeah, keep it real, keep it real my baby
Gotta keep it real, will you?
Keep it real with you
Keep it real, yeah-uh
