Keeping It Real - Beres Hammond

First Verse:

The order of the day is to have something for people to talk about

You ain’t got nothing, then you are nothing

There is no wisdom in the truth if when it all boils down

Back where we started is where we lost faith

We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak

Systems will always have you locked down and weak

Poverty is always where your gonna be

Ill keep it real yeaaaaa, wooowooo

Second Verse:

When you wake up in the morning do you wish this was the day you where longing

for

All your bills are paid up, all your troubles are gone

You worry no more

Unlimited spending, everyday is like a holiday

And all the trap that they set would mean that they forget that my foot is

already at the door, one more

Would you give up on a good life, that you would cherish down to the ground

Would you give up on your children, Yea / No thats a big NO NO

Would you give up on the people, where no man is an island, can’t get it alone

We have good intentions but always the jobs never done

We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak

Systems will always have you locked down and weak

Poverty is always where your gonna be

Ill keep it real yeaaaaa, wooowooo

Check yourself, Know yourself, thats yourself yea

Would you give up on a good life, that you would cherish down to the ground

Would you give up on your children, Yea / No thats a big NO NO

Would you give up on the people, where no man is an island, can’t get it alone

We have good intentions but always the jobs never done

We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak

Systems will always have you locked down and weak

Poverty is always where your gonna be

Ill keep it real yeaaaaa, wooowooo
