Lyrics:
We gonna take this little brief intermission
And get to some real shit
as only I could
Big Gorillathon
Coney Island
Yo!
My real life is nothin' like this rap shit
Grew up in the projects a little fat kid
I had every single CD that came out and knew every verse on every song
even the wack shit
Personality fractured
Student of the game
I speak my truth because I refuse to be ashamed
While all my friends was outside playing games
I was in the hospital watching my father die from Aids
Became the man of the house so I can save mine
Had to wear my game face when It was game time
Hate crying, struggle made me a great mind
I've learned you can't save ya ass and ya face at the same time
Starting to understand my fate
If you knew my story then you wouldn't have a chance to hate
All the hardships made me who I am
And moms did the best she could raising a man
And she tried
And she cried
God I grew up hating you
But now I understand and our bond is unbreakable
We ride
We Survived
Sometimes I just look up and smile the boy became a man
Mama look at me now
And Ima keep on keepin' on
Thats all that I can do
ohhhh
And Ima keep on ???
Thats all that I can do
oohhhh
Sometimes I feel like this dream will never come true
But Im not willing to give It up so fuck you
I wake up every day at 4AM
Go to work from 6 to 2
Leave there hustle hats then hit the Stu
I sacrificed a normal lifes on hold
No kids, No wife, so I can pick up and go
And I don't care what nobody say
Im gonna hustle hard and push my motherfuckin' dreams untill I reach my goals
Man my social lifes weak as fuck
Sometimes I rather stay home and sleep then fuck
Chicks all up in my dms but really I don't wanna chat
These two hours is reserved for a power nap
I put in work go the extra mile
So much pain you'd think i'd never smile
But im just trynna buy a big ass crib
Then have my family over for christmass
Everybody thats arguing can reconcile
I learned life was too short
When my father passed when I was 4
Left me a bastard
And I've learned all the resentment you got with your people
go away the moment you standing over their casket
Real shit
Dont let the devil lie to you people
Sometimes your biggest enemy is your Pride or your Ego
The essence of life is to love someone else
A Real man is one who humbles himself
And Ima Keep on Keepin' on
Thats all that I can do
ooohhh
And Ima keep on ????
Thats all that I can do
ooohhhhhh
Ohh Im so sick of surviving yeahh
But I know that pressure makes diamonds
That pressure make diamonds
It's all about timing
Gotta keep climbing
And Ima Keep on Keepin' on
Thats all that I can do
ooohhh
And Ima keep on ????
Thats all that I can do
ooohhhhhh
