Sandy Griffith - Keep Pushin' lyrics

[Hook: Sandy Griffith] Do the things that keep it movin' every day Hold it down don't let nobody, tell you that you can't Nothin' promised to us, got to keep it true We all we got, know this and you'll never lose [Verse 1: Paris] Why can't we understand? Why can't we understand? Why can't we comprehend? Recognize the underhanded Nature of the way they do Keep us all, under rule Love to see us always lose Still the same, nothin new Tired of the strugglin' Struggle got us stressin' it's Harder than it's ever been To get the family close again Mama working double shifts Pops ain't never missed a day Never missin' hours, never call in sick And never late Bills keep piling high - what do we do when It's hard when you try to do right - we keep it movin' Same grind, same time, steady punchin' a clock Same climb, ain't no sunshine, they keep us on lock And we easy to provoke, broken focus and hope It's hard to cope with there's no control and never support Just broken dreams and promises, we live to survive It's no succeedin' just believin' what we need to get by, but why? [Hook: Sandy Griffith] Do the things that keep it movin' every day (We keep pushin') Hold it down don't let nobody, tell you that you can't (We keep pushin') Nothin' promised to us, got to keep it true (And it don't stop, and it don't stop) We all we got, know this and you'll never lose [Verse 2: Paris] So we need to get a little closer now Just like we supposed to now Ever seem to notice how Come up and then they slow you down? Hate to see us go without But ain't no hiring if you brown No hirin' in the town, and these streets Compete and call us out Steady tryin to live right It's harder when you live right It's harder when you live right, cuzz You just can't live life So consumed with anger, I'm Just beneath the danger zone Just beneath the surface and I'm prone To put these things up on ya It's all bullsh**, these b**hes think we stupid with it They keep us stupid with it, through the music when we listen Through the television, mission is to keep it twisted And keep the people broke and fat and working for the system So many obstacles, it's possible to fold and flounder So I stay committed, keep my game tight and family grounded And pound the pavement making statements I'm a hard truth rider And James Evans n***as, goin' hard with father guidance [Hook: Sandy Griffith] Do the things that keep it movin' every day (Keep pushin') Hold it down don't let nobody, tell you that you can't (Keep pushin') Nothin' promised to us, got to keep it true (And it don't stop, and it don't stop) We all we got, know this and you'll never lose (Yeah) Do the things that keep it movin' every day Hold it down don't let nobody, tell you that you can't Nothin' promised to us, got to keep it true We all we got, know this and you'll never lose
