When I was young I used to dream of being rich
Havin lot of houses and cars- couldn't know which one is which
And findin mii a chic and gettin hitch
Livin a fairy tale life perfect without a ditch
U think that this'll bring mii happiness
If at the end of every rainbow there was a tragic chess
Sometimes havin more is really less
Take a look inside urself u'll realize u really blessed
No matter how u sad and blue
There's always someone who has it worst in u
Sometimes u gotta pay ur dues
So don't worry just push on thru

Chorus: Keep'n it real-
Gotta big up all ma peoples who be workin on their future though they know they
gotta struggle
keep'n it real-
To all ma homies workin on the 9 to 5 and doin right to keep themselves up outta
trouble
keep'n it real-
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, there aint no need in drownin in
ur sorrow
keep'n it real-
If things are as bad as they could be you could sure they'd be a brighter
tomorrow

I never got to have myself the house, the mansion and the benz
I'm not the kind of brotha who be makin mad ends
I got myself a girl but we'd be kickin it as friends
It's not enuff for mii? But that depends...
Again- not ev'rythin u want is ev'rythin u really need
The standard of society is more deviated by creed
Are u prepared to follow then are u prepared to lead
Stop perserverin, u'd succeed

CHORUS

All the harsh realities appears to cum in 2's and 3's don't worry cos there'd be
a better day
One thing I can promise u- just keep on keep'n on I swear to u there's gon be a
brighter day

Back in the days I used to dream of being rich
Havin lot of houses and cars- couldn't know which one is which
And findin mii a chic and gettin hitch
Livin a fairy tale life perfect without a ditch
U think that this'll bring mii happiness
If at the end of every rainbow there was a tragic chess
Sometimes havin more is really less
So take a look inside urself u'll realize u really blessed
No matter how u sad and blue
There's always someone who has it worst in u
Sometimes u gotta pay ur dues
So don't worry just push on thru

Keep'n it real-
Gotta big up all ma peoples who be workin on their future though they know they
gotta struggle
keep'n it real-
To all ma peoples workin on the 9 to 5 and doin right to keep themselves up
outta trouble
keep'n it real-
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, there aint no need in drownin in
ur sorrow
keep'n it real-
If things are as bad as they could be you could sure they'd be a brighter
tomorrow
