Keep On Keepin’ On Lyrics by JoJo

JoJo (European Edition)

2004

[Intro]
Ooh, hey, yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly

[Verse 1]
Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to god at night
That things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now

[Chorus]
You got to keep on keepin' on (Oh)
You got to keep your head up high (Keep your head up high)
You gotta work with what you've got (Oh)
And someday you will fly (Ooh)
You got to keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)
You got to keep your head up high (Head up high)
You gotta work with what you've got (Oh yeah)
And someday you will fly

[Verse 2]
Lookin out the window to a rose that grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in stuff that seems so bad, seems so sad
Seein' other kids with their Timbs on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longing for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry, there'll come a time

[Chorus]
You got to keep on keepin' on
You got to keep your head up high
(Oh, gotta keep your head up high)
You gotta work with what you've got (Yeah)
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)
You got to keep your head up high (Oh)
You gotta work with what you've got (What you've got)
(And someday) And someday you will fly

[Bridge]
Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (Duplex)
Why did God choose to make my life so complex? (Oh)
Breathin' to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is her only source of fun
I can almost guarantee you
It'll get better soon

[Chorus]
You got to keep on keepin' on (Oh)
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got (Work with what you've got)
And someday you will fly (Someday you can fly)
You got to keep on keepin' on (Oh)
You got to keep your head up high (Oh)
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
