Iotosh - Night Stroll lyrics

[Intro] Verse one, yeah [Verse 1] Family struggling, thinking about money incentives Got some cash, thinking bout saving but it's better I spend it Cause a hundred bucks ain't gon' make a difference in our lives Can't pay school fees; can't pay the bills, neither water nor light I tried to get a job at the supermarket But grown men be packing bags there, man They already got 'em No druggies in my 'hood, so no d** for the moving Only thing I see left is to try to make it work through music A young bredda like me, only seventeen Making beats, writing lyrics, keeping real Tryna achieve my dreams But it ain't realistic; the fakes make the list and the realest get rubbed off paper, leave a smudge like it's lipstick Man, I need to make it Staying real all the way, no faking No playing around, I'm done with gaming Man, I keep slaying On this long journey, at some point there's a toll to pay I pray, my soul to keep, oh Lord I say, ay [Chorus] Keep me going on, I pray; I'm on a roll Keep me going on this straight, narrow road And even though out here can get ever so cold Keep me safe and guide me, on my night stroll [Verse 2] Don't even know what I want to do with my life yet To be honest, I keep wondering if my mindset Will cause my own demise, Mummy say "migrate" Cause everything comes at a price, and tax is at a high rate But I'd rather tough it out, stay with my people And if it ends badly, I'd ride through it all like I'm a vehicle Mi know di risk, mi know it hard inna di city But no pity like Yosemite Sam if di natty life get gritty Cause mi nuh sickly I'll always find a way to strive and prosper, mi a nuh fool Mi have street smarts, plus mi acquire knowledge inna school And mi have mi talents, just have to put them to good use I have to become successful, I have way to much to prove And if it's to become an artiste or a producer, then let it be I'll get deep in my works, deep like the roots of a tree And uproot anything that stands in my way, or my vicinity Cause I'm destined to be great, from '98 to infinity, boom [Chorus] [Outro] Keep me going on I pray, I'm on the road Keep me going, keep me going on This night stroll, it's really cold
