keep on keepin on

Jojo

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 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 (seems 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 leaves some moments for some fun,
I can almost guarantee you,
It'll get better todaaaaaayyy,

[CHORUS]
