Shaggy - Keep'n It Real (Swingers Mix) lyrics

Verse I When I was young I used to dream of being rich Having lots of houses and cars couldn't know which one was which And finding me a chick and getting hitched Living the fairytale life perfect without a glitch You'd think that this would bring me happiness If at the end of every rainbow there was a treasure chest But sometimes having more is really less Take a look inside yourself you'll realize you're really blessed Hook No matter how you're sad and blue There's always someone that has it worse than you Sometimes you gotta pay you dues Don't worry just push on through Chorus Keeping it real Gotta big up all my people who be working on a future Though they know they gotta struggle Keeping it real To all my hommes working on the 9 to 5 And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble Keeping it real Although sometimes I know it seems impossible They're ain't no need for drowning in you sorrow Keeping it real If things are as bad as they can be You can be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow Verse II I never got to have myself the house the mansion and the Benz I'm not the kinda brother who be making mad ends I got myself a girl but we be kicking it as friends It's not enough but maybe that depends, again Not everything you want is everything you really need The standard of society's motivated by greed Are you prepared to follow tell me are you prepared to lead So persevere and you'll succeed Chorus Bridge All the harsh realities appear to come in twos and threes Don't worry cause there'll be a better day One thing I can promise you just keep on keeping on I swear to you there' gonna be a brighter day Repeat 1st Verse Chorus
