Hey-yeeeah
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy
Verse 1:
Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night
That things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now
Chorus:
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy
Verse 2:
Lookin out the window to a rose that grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (a scene so sad)
Seein other kids with their Tims on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime
[Chorus:]
Bridge: Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)
Why did God choose to make my life so complex
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is her only source of fun
I can almost guarantee youit'll get better soon
[Chorus:]
Ooooh-ooohh Hey-yeeeah You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy Verse 1: Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal Second hand clothes Surviving is pivotal Praying to God at night That things'll get better soon I remember when I was in your position Tried to tell people my story But no one would really listen I know times are hard right now Happiness is hard to find right now Chorus: You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy You got to keep on keepin on You got to keep your head up high You gotta work with what you've got And someday you will flyyyyy Verse 2: Lookin out the window to a rose that grows in concrete Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (a scene so sad) Seein other kids with their Tims on Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime [Chorus:] Bridge: Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm) Why did God choose to make my life so complex Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum Trouble is her only source of fun I can almost guarantee youit'll get better soon [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
