Sometimes you affi look the glass a full instead affi empty ya know?

Kuzerbeem, uh

Yo

When I was young I used 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 glitch

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 realise you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and 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

Keep'n it real

Gotta big up all my people's who'd be working on the future though they know they gotta struggle

Keep'n it real

To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble

Keep'n it real

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, but there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows

Keep'n it real

If things are bad as they can be you could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion or the Benz

I'm not the kinda brother who'd be making mad ends

I got myself a girl, but we'd be kicking it as friends

It's not enough for me but that depends, again

Not everything you want is everything you really need

The standard of society is motivated by greed

Are you prepared to follow? Are you prepared to lead?

So persevere and you'll succeed

Keep'n it real

Gotta big up all my people's working on the future though they know they gotta struggle

Keep'n it real

To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble

Keep'n it real

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, but there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows

Keep'n it real

If things are bad as they can be you could be sure there'd be a brighter tomorrow

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma, yeah

All the harsh realities appears to come, in twos and threes

Don't worry, 'cause there'd be a better day

One thing I can promise you, keep on keep'n on

I swear to you, there's gonna be a brighter day

Keep'n it real

Gotta big up all my people's who'd be working on the future though they know they gotta struggle

Keep'n it real

To all my homies working on the nine to five and doing right just to keep themselves up out of trouble

Keep'n it real

Though sometimes I know it seems impossible, there ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows

Keep'n it real

If things are bad as they can be, there'd be a brighter tomorrow

Keep'n it real

Gotta big up all my people working on the nine to nine to five

Keep'n it real

All my homies, doing right to keep themselves up outta trouble

Keep'n it real

Though sometimes I know yeah, there ain't no way, no way, no way, no way, no way

Keep'n it real

Things are bad as they can be, there'd be a brighter tomorrow

Ma-ma-ma-ma, ma, ma, ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma

Oh yeah, keep it real, keep it real my baby

You gotta keep it real, will you?
