Gavin Brown - Keepin' It Real lyrics

Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground And when nobody's watchin' they can tear it all down Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one But if they come at me, then they better all run [Chorus] The wood's all soakin' So the fire won't burn Now, I'd keep talkin' But you never learn The cut's too deep So, the wound won't heal You won't keep nothing You don't keep nothing By keepin' it real Long tooth, time is marchin' on as I sing Just cut me down the middle, and count my rings You can't keep nothin', best to leave it alone You die naked, and they burn up your bones [Chorus] What's the point in wishin' there was somewhere to go If when you get there, you can't let anyone know? When my time comes I won't be leaving this Earth And what I've done for people will determine my worth [Chorus] You can't build nothin' if you haven't got trust You're standin' on steel, and slowly watchin' it rust There's no use fightin', no one's gettin' along You can't just add sugar if the coffee's too strong You dig a foundation, put it deep in the ground Then water and wind'll come and blow it all down Tie it all together, so that you make it float Then drop a piece of dynamite in to the boat They say we'd have wings if God had meant us to fly He never gave us gills, are we supposed to stay dry? If he had a hand in the original code He hasn't paid attention since he made it explode
