Lyrics

Listen, you ain't got to tell me
It's already tough
I know life is hard
It's gonna push you down

You gotta keep your head and keep on shining
Reach for them stars, keep on climbing

Shorty, I know life is hard, but get yours.
Be the best you can be, you ain't gotta spit bars
It's still a struggle
Long days, long nights, it's a hustle

Let no one tell you, you can't do it
Keep your nose to the grindstone and true to your sh
Hey, I know you got a lot to say
Sometimes it's better let the pieces fall where they may

This a stretch, but we not reaching
There's babies involved. I ain't gonna mislead them
May the Most High bless our 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 answer, we live our dreams
I know it seem like we going against the grain
We just really trying to smooth out these edges man

So keep your head up, keep on shining
Reach for them stars keep on climbing
No matter what baby keep on rising
Don't stop now!

So keep your head up, keep on shining
Reach for them stars keep on climbing
No matter what baby 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 the odds
You know what we 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 for it pass us by
And it seem like we was living a lie

Workin in a bubble will have ready to burst
Banged my head on these walls so much man it hurt
Pride can have you too proud to speak
That'll do you no good upon these streets

So I train to bang out, mind sharp as a cleat
Though sometimes these poisons take control of me
Hey, it's just another means to be free
And I'm a tell you, 'cause this is my soldier story

So keep your head up, keep on shining
Reach for them stars keep on climbing
No matter what, keep on rising
Don't stop now

Keep your head up, keep on shining
Reach for them stars keep on climbing
No matter what, keep on rising

Never count me out
