Keep on Keeping On

Keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change Yeah, you said to keep on but it's kinda hard Cause this thing called life is tearing me apart I mean I'm really trying though but I'm fed up Cause everyday I wake up and it doesn't change up Not to mention, I'm trying to get my change up I'm tired of being broke with no hope And everyday it feels like I'm standing on a rope About to fall off, in a minute, then I hope that I don't But the winds all around me keep blowing About to make me fall on my face and leave me broken I guess I need some hope then or at least I need some strength They keep my standing strong when the pressure makes me bend Cause at this rate, I'm probably gonna break So if you find time, please pray before you judge Cause you might know my name, but you don't know my pain And you might see my smile but in my kicks, couldn't walk a mile And that's the truth and my scars are the proof Keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change I said, keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change Alright, you lying down in your hospital bed Your IVs on and it's kinda dark You staring at the wall, your body's racked with pain It's been so long, you lost track of days So many meds, it got you in a daze Waiting for a visit, or just a call But you sit alone, in a cold room Thinking to yourself, I don't wanna die But the doctor said, it's not looking good But the preacher said that God is good But at this point, it's hard to tell Cause in a few weeks, you might be dead If I'm being honest, that seems better Cause you're really tired and you're really fed up And like that Pac song said, you're trying to keep your head up But the weight on your back is starting to get heavy And you know in your mind, that he won't forsake you But that truth in your heart start to feel second So God if you hear me, please say something Keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change Keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change Ok you working hard and you just got a second job Your college educated but it's not paying off You still don't got a place you can call your own Your bills coming in and plus you got them loans Always feeling down cause your money's always low And you got goals that you wanna change the world And you got the will and you got the drive But it's hard to keep going when the gas is low But don't let all the pain kill your dreams though There's purpose in the rain cause think about it All the plants would die if the sun is always shining So the storms come, they keep the plants watered And if they stay watered, then one day you'll have a garden Then you'll finally see that it was all worth it With that being said, I suggest you keep going And don't turn back and don't ever surrender And keep your feet moving and don't you ever let up And keep pressing on even when you feel fed up And stay in the race even when you feel faint Keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change I said, keep on keeping on even when the skies are gray I said, keep on keeping on even when you don't see a change Keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on
