Gotta Keep It Going Lyrics by Jozi

Wild Life

0

[Chorus: Ishmael]
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta, gotta, keep it going

[Pre-Chorus: Ishmael]
This is for my people hustling on the corner
Out of breath, running, chasing that paper
For my people on the grind, on that 9 to 5
Working hard every day, just to stay alive

[Verse 1: Da L.E.S]
Seen many different faces, and many different ages
Seen many different phases in so many different places
Seen many different grinds, through many different minds
There's so much to see when looking through a set of different eyes
Seen many people struggle, seen many people hustle
Seen many people flossing, but they ain't seeing nothing
Seen many people walking, like they looking for something
So many people talking, but they ain't talking for nothing
It don't matter where you're from, but only where you're going
'Cause only where you going, can determine where you're from
And I know that when we going, if it wasn't for where we from
We probably wouldn't be growing, or shining like the sun

[Pre-Chorus: Ishmael]
This is for my people hustling on the corner
Out of breath, running, chasing that paper
For my people on the grind, on that 9 to 5
Working hard every day, just to stay alive

[Chorus: Ishmael]
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta, gotta, keep it going

[Verse 2: Bongani Fassie]
Woke up this early morning, thinking about the grind
How we gon' stay ahead, can't afford to fall behind
My mama always told me, when I was a little child
You gotta keep it going, son, so get off or you be behind
Keep it going, even though you know you've had enough
'Cause you'll never know what's easy until you get it tough
I guess in life, you have to keep it short, just to make it longer
And what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger
When the going is tough, you gotta keep pushing
Let no one bring you down, only you know what you doing
The motherland has spoken, it's up to you to teach
So we can make a difference, and we can live in peace

[Pre-Chorus: Ishmael]
This is for my people hustling on the corner
Out of breath, running, chasing that paper
For my people on the grind, on that 9 to 5
Working hard every day, just to stay alive

[Chorus: Ishmael]
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta, gotta, keep it going

[Pre-Chorus: Ishmael]
This is for my people hustling on the corner
Out of breath, running, chasing that paper
For my people on the grind, on that 9 to 5
Working hard every day, just to stay alive

[Bridge: Ishmael]
I like the finest things in life
I want the finest chick by my side
Got a shotgun in my ride, my ride

[Pre-Chorus: Ishmael]
This is for my people hustling on the corner
Out of breath, running, chasing that paper
For my people on the grind, on that 9 to 5
Working hard every day, just to stay alive

[Chorus: Ishmael]
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta keep it going
Gotta, gotta, keep it going

[Outro: Ishmael]
Finest things in life
Finest chick by my side
Got a shotgun in my ride, my ride
