You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Don't stop now!
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Never count me out!
Shorty, I know life is hard, but get yours.
Be the best you can be, you don't have to spit bars
But it's still a struggle
Long days, long nights and it's a hustle
Don't let nobody tell you that you can't do it
Keep your nose to the grindstone and true to your shit
Listen. I know you got a lot to say
Sometimes it's better to sit back, and let the parts fall where they may
This is a stretch, but we not reaching
There's babies involved. I ain't trying to mislead them
May the Most High bless my daily routine
Pray for a brand new day for you and me
And if we don't see tomorrow at least we did our thing
We didn't take no for an answer and live our dreams
I know it seems like we are going against the grain
We just really trying to smooth out the edges man
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Don't stop now
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Never count me out
Will jealousy separate us, better say hell nah
As long as we got each other, we can defeat all odds
You know what we up against; pretend you enjoy hard times
Out there is something that could change our lives, forever
Let your eyes search beyond the skyline
Thoughts keep recycling, this is our time
Better get it right, before it pass us by
And it seems like, we've been living a lie
Working in a bubble will have ready to burst
Banged my head on these walls so much it hurts
Pride can have you too proud to speak
That'll do you no good on these streets
So I trained to bang out, mind sharp as a cleat
Though sometimes these poisons take control of me
For me, another means to be free
This is my soldier story
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Don't stop now
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Never count me out
I close my eyes
Only for a moment, just to feel that way
And I don't know why
To keep on looking forward to a brand new day... hey
What if I told you I'm ready to quit-my job
Live off of hood dreams and schemes to get rich
Please don't lose respect for the kid
I'm just trying to do it big
Mira, this is serious B I
I wanna see heaven before we die
I don't want to die a slave
That's nothing for me to take to my grave
Respect the fact that I'm trying to do this here
On a different level it ain't just music
And we got to make this work
Who knows how far we'll go
Here's an umbrella to weather the storm
I know it's not much but it's all I own
Until cop this house to build this home
So you can get down or get gone
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Don't stop now
You gotta keep your head and keep on climbing
Reach for them stars keep on shining
No matter what keep on rising
Never count me out
