Stephen Marley - Keep On (Road To Zion) lyrics
"Keep On" a Western Sydney rendition/reworking of Nas & Damian Marley's "Road To Zion" Jah will be waiting there we a shout, Jah will be waiting there x 2 CHORUS: (Jah Tung) We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man Verse 1 (Chrispy) Turned crazy, my girl hates me Feel like the whole world is trying to erase me Kind of just want to leave it all behind & hit the road Instead of sitting by the water, thoughtless, bored & skipping stones It's so hard man, the money side of it is f**ing with me Tell me love is risky, I'll pack my bags just to run off with it It's just amazing somebody could fall in love with Chrispy Shouldn't have taken it for granted, now she got the thought to ditch me sh**s me, sitting here feeling helpless Nobody on my side, man, I swear I never felt this Battered & broken, I'm so f**ing selfish I never realised the wait of the world until I held it On my shoulders like a boulder, man, it's crushing me I swear I'll break if one more situation tries to f** with me Even my conscience looks back at my shell like its done with me My friends don't even want to call me up to have some fun with me Can feel my soul reaching out of its grave from under me It's all too much now, I just want to run out & f**ing scream Trying to hold it all together, but I'm buckling If there is a higher power, please tell me this is just a dream CHORUS: (Jah Tung) We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man Verse 2: (Jah Tung) Well it's my life, & it's high time To align with my light & the right vibe Used to be another link in the pipeline But now I'm flying with The Most High Been so blessed, feel no stress 'Cause me changed me ways, true progress Used to rush, now I move with the slowness Run like a river 'cause the river do flow best & now I feel so alive, heart set & I know it's right No sell-soul compromise & my daily grind is to lend some time to the misguided juveniles Who but I, if you're irate when your youth want you to smile? You've only got to pause awhile See the truth of the universe looking into their eyes So whatever your journey Never give it up, me say, remember you heard me Know yourself & the things your yearn 'Cause thatta real, real, real, real, real! CHORUS: (Jah Tung) We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man Verse 3: (Jinz Moss) Dance with the devil, my heart is dishevelled Crafting my casket to laugh & embezzle My past is my harness I grasp at the nettles & it hurts to remember all the scars & cuts The cuts drip the elixir of a lava slug The slugs swim into the picture & the path is done Once the smoke clears, along with lone fears What are we left with? Sombre song tears & a longing resentment Look at the f**ing time it took to get me where I am & I'm still a f**ing spectator sitting in the stands Observing an imposter, flicking through his grands While I'm gripping at my dreams 'cause they're written in the sand Face of bulimic, craven & sea sick Tasting the gristle when I'm basically breathing Taken by phases of angels & demons Evenings are sleepless, days of daydreaming Rage with fake heathens, claim to make cleavers Well, if it's lost, then it's lost at the cost of my blood & I'll bleed 'til my soul lies lost in the dust
