Uh – that’s right
Reality check
You know what I mean
Street lives eh
Scorpion yeah uh
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 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
Keeping it real
Gotta big up all my peoples who be working on the future
Though they know they gotta struggle
Keeping it real
To all my homies working on the 9 to 5
And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keeping it real
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain’t no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keeping 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 motivated by greed
Are you prepared to follow
Tell me are you prepared to leave
So persevere and you’ll succeed
All the harsh realities
Appears to come in two’s and Three’s
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 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 witout 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
That’s right, see me, yeah
Give thanks fa what you have, ya know
And when you think that its bad
There’s always somebody that’s worse
Know what I’m sayin’
Give Jah blessing, see me
Wa-wa, Wa-wa
Wa-wa, wa-wa
