9-1-1 wasn’t a joke   pistols blaze, young guns get lost in the smoke   there’s a war going on between the rich and the broke   it’s in the streets, worldwide, overseas and under oath   from day one man was flawed, we fall daily   no man is perfect, word, but we can keep working   fulfill our purpose, before we’re gone with the wind   storing treasures for the final days and focus on the end (result)   the vinyl plays and I write, my minds stays in the light   and sprays a rhyme to ignite freedom   I’m feeling like it’s all over   standing in the cold to be reminded that I’m still breathing   and I’m leaving this state of mind that got me depressed   all the desires of the flesh, get put to rest   and understand, we can live free in harsh reality   and shine light, when it’s to dark to see   Keep on, sun rise to sun fall   get your back up off the wall and keep   Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather   only the soul lasts forever   Keep on, sun rise to sun fall   get your back up off the wall and keep   Keep on, focus on the permanent things   we can’t always trust what we see      I’m taking shots at the system like a paparazzi   you can’t stop me, from operating properly   I’m set to prosper with no illegal scandal,   just honest, diligent hard work, I can’t stand still   I call my cash cream, it’s not about the benjamin’s   my cream is medicine, I’m not afraid to spread it thin   bless a struggling family with some food to eat   I know if in reverse, they would do it for me   I’m looking out for my people in these trife (trifle) times   children play outside and put their life on the line   it’s not all bad, but it’s been seeming so lately   seeing all these teenage girls raising babies   with no fathers, subliminal manslaughter   young bucks on the block sipping dirty bath water   in glass bottles, feeling betrayed and cursed   stay encouraged, the last shall be first, I’m saying      Keep on, sun rise to sun fall   get your back up off the wall and keep   Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather   only the soul lasts forever   Keep on, sun rise to sun fall   get your back up off the wall and keep   Keep on, focus on the permanent things   we can’t always trust what we see      Goliath strikes and stands larger then my shadow is   I’m not equipt to battle this man handler alone   built on the rock, evil infiltrates my home   and I’m to honest to God to cast the first stone   fear factor got me thinking to turn, run the opposite way   options fade, opposition tossing grenades   I’m not trained in the art of war   I’m not running wild chasing beef, like a carnivore   sometimes I feel like giving up   sometimes I feel like it’s not worth the fight   sometimes I feel like nobody cares   cried at night and realized, God was right there   so regardless of what’s see with physical eyes   (deep inside) I know there’s meaning to life   and even when I’m feeling down, defiled, defeated and dry   I can still lift my hands to the sky (keep on).
