keep pushing
**(Intro)** Dear Lord… Why the good ones gotta suffer? Why the streets raise us faster than our mothers? We still here though **(Verse 1)** Born in a world where the sirens sing lullabies Kids learn survival before they even learn to drive Mama worked doubles, still the rent came late Stress in her eyes every time she checked the plate I seen pain turn boys into cold men Seen dreams die young over colors and revenge Everybody tough till the coffin get closed Till they hear dirt hit somebody they know And me? I just wanted peace in my section But poverty teach hard ass lessons When your stomach growl louder than your conscience Desperation make a young soul heartless Still I pray for redemption every night Tryna find heaven while I’m livin’ this fast life And even if the world never understand me I’ma die real before they ever can command me --- **(Hook)** We keep fightin’ through the rain and the sorrow Livin’ like there might not be tomorrow Still dreamin’ even when hope feel gone Still stand tall, gotta carry on Too much pain in these city lights Too many tears in these sleepless nights But the strong survive when the weak fall apart So I keep faith deep in my heart --- **(Verse 2)** Little girl cryin’, daddy locked away Judge gave years like his life disposable anyway Another young brother lost to the system Politicians talk but nobody listen And the media paint us like villains and threats Never show the struggle or the tears or stress Just another headline for the evening news Another child with nothin’ to lose But I know there’s angels in the chaos too Single moms raisin’ kings without a clue Old heads teachin’ wisdom on the corner stoop Tryna save young souls from the coop So I speak truth even if my voice shake Even if the pressure make my whole soul ache Cause somebody out there need these words tonight Need a reason just to keep pushing the fight --- **(Bridge)** And if I fall before my time comes… Tell my people keep marchin’ Keep believin’ Cause hard times don’t last forever --- **(Final Hook)** We keep fightin’ through the rain and the sorrow Prayin’ for a brighter tomorrow Still dreamin’ even when hope feel gone Still rise up, gotta carry on Through the struggle, through the hate, through the scars We still reach for the stars And even in the dark, souls can shine One day… we gon’ be alright --- **(Outro)** For the lost ones… For the broken homes… For the people sddtill holdin’ on… Keep your head up.
