KEEP ON Lyrics by NEMS, Scram Jones, Tish Hyman

RISE OF THE SILVERBACK

2023

[Intro: Nems]
We gon take this little brief intermission
Get to some real shit
Cause only I could
Big Gorillathon
Coney Island

[Verse 1: Nems]
Yo!
My real life is nothing like this rap shit
Grew up in the projects a little fat kid
I had every single CD that came out
And knew every verse on every song even the wack shit
Personality fractured
Student of the game
I speak my truth because I refuse to be ashamed
While all my friends was outside playing games
I was in the hospital watching my father die from aids
Became the man of the house so I can save mine
Had to wear my game face when it was game time
Hate crying struggle made me a great mind
I've learned you can't save your ass and your face at the same time
Starting to understand my fate
If you knew my story then you wouldn't have a chance to hate
All the hardships made me who I am
And moms did the best she could raising a man
And she tried
(And she tried)
And she cried
(And she cried)
God I grew up hating you
But now I understand and our bond is unbreakable
We ride
(We ride)
We survived
(We survived)
Sometimes I just look up and smile
The boy became a man mama look at me now

[Chorus: Tish Hyman]
And I'ma keep on keeping on
That's all that I can do
And I'ma keep on hustling
That's all that I can do

[Verse 2: Nems]
Sometimes I feel like this dream will never come true
But I'm not willing to give it up so fuck you
I wake up everyday at 4am
Go to work from 6 til 2
Leave there hustle hats then hit the stu
I've sacrificed the normal life's on hold
No kids no wife so I can pick up and go
And I don't care what nobody say
I'm gonna hustle hard and push my motherfucking dreams until I reach my goals
Man my social life weak as fuck
Sometimes I'd rather stay home and sleep than fuck
Chicks all up in my DMs but really I don't wanna chat
These 2 hours is reserved for a power nap
I put in work go the extra mile
So much pain you think I'd never smile
But I'm just tryna buy a big ass crib
To have my family over for Christmas
Everybody that's argued with can reconcile
I learned life was too short
My father passed when I was 4
Left me a bastard
And I've learned
All the resentment you got with your people
Go away the moment you standing over they casket
Real shit
Don't let the devil lie to you people
Sometimes your biggest enemies you're pride and your ego
The essence of life's to love someone else
A real man is one who humbles himself

[Chorus: Tish Hyman]
And I'ma keep on keeping on
That's all that I can do
And I'ma keep on hustling
That's all that I can do

[Bridge: Tish Hyman]
I'm so sick of surviving yeah
But I know that pressure makes diamonds yeah
That pressure make diamonds
It's all about timing
Gotta keep climbing

[Chorus: Tish Hyman]
And I'ma keep on keeping on
That's all that I can do
And I'ma keep on hustling
That's all that I can do
