Keepin' It Real
KEEPIN' IT REAL
VERSE 1
Think it's time for me to slow it down
Got to change my attitude
Heard a young man say
About the world today,
"It's how much money you got... and that's the truth."
PRE CHORUS 1
He nearly made me cry
I looked him in the eye
And said, "Stop your stinkin' thinkin' or you'll lose."
CHORUS 1
Keeping it real with his brothers
Keeping it real with his sisters, too
Not gonna let his problems - bring him down
He likes how it feels when he's keeping it real - no messin' around
VERSE 2
There was a young girl who made a choice
That led her down a lost and lonely road
She couldn't see
How she'd ever break free
Of the self-inflicted chains and the heavy load
PRE CHORUS 2
She wouldn't give in
Being a victim to the way she'd been
She said, "I don't want be that any more."
CHORUS 2 (2x)
Keeping it real with her brothers
Keeping it real with her sisters, too
Not gonna let her problems - bring her down
She likes how it feels when she's keeping it real - no messin' around
CHORUS 3 (2x)
Keeping it real with your brothers
Keeping it real with your sisters, too
Not gonna let your problems - bring you down
You'll like how it feels when you're keeping it real - no messin' around
