Keep Living Lyrics by Will Williams

The Basment Tapes Vol. 1 (Will Williams)

2021

Intro – I never thought it’ll happen like this would you betray then son of a great man – all with a kiss? Naw – I ain't get a kiss on the lips. But your future bout to go down – call it walking with a dip. I ain't one to wish bad things I’ll happen to ya. Thought my words were a speech – like I was preaching to ya. I just saw where you might go. Cuz I seen it all before, how else would I know?

Verse 1 – Never was I scared – just stayed outta the crowd. And they thought I was scared cuz I was never loud. Hate people, so I stayed outta the limelight. Dropped outta college, so they thought I wasn’t too bright. A lil wiz – more like an Einstein. Yau’ll minded the girls – money was always on my mind. Don’t mean I was only concerned about gettin’ bread. Just tired of being behind – gotta get ahead. They laugh it off, like it’s all a game. Chuck the deuces and tell em all just remember the name. It’s will – I’m steady grinding still. Now she wants me to stay – negative – no deal. The truth is hard to swallow – call it a pill. Of course, I’m not jackin’ around cuz there ain't no Jill. Know that’s a shock to ya system – like an eel. I break hearts – and I do it all for the thrill. Well I don’t try, it just seems to happen. Think I’m playin’ them or something – guess they feel trapped en’. They shake – but realized they were wrong. But I always knew – that’s why I never love strong. Never again will my heart be hurting. Pain I’ll never affect me – my heart is already broken

Chorus (On Phone) – There’s a lotta hearts I know I have to break. Now they feel the same way – but it’s too late. Your bad decisions, all of it is forgiven. But life goes on – just gotta keep living. And I don’t hold nothing against you_ at all. I had too many choices like I’m in the mall. Forget it all – I mean how I’m feeling. Regardless of my pain – I just gotta keep living

Verse 2 – (On Phone) you know you can’t take it – so just kill ya – self

(Regular voice) On my knees – everyday lord I need your help. Cause nobody will listen – it’s like they want me gone. But through it all – I smile – I’m gon remain strong. I was seconds away from taking my own life. Hell forever, I really couldn’t pay that price. So, I would sip slow – trynna overdose. I just wanted to forget all my problems the most. But they never would leave – I mean they were always there. So, I searched all my life for someone who could care. But God was there – yep, I’m talking Jesus. Life was scattered but he found – and reassembled all the pieces. Now I’m feeling good – wait I’m feelin’ great. Music is my vacation; it helps me escape. Sure, I still miss her – guess I always will. Love for her – is something that I do still feel. And I thank-you for putting me in my zone. Cuz now I’m focused time two – naw I ain't talking clone. And I will never be unfocused again. Remember in the past – there was a time when… I’ll do anything for love – anything – I was willing. Don’t even trip no more, I’m just gon keep living

Chorus (On Phone) – There’s a lotta hearts I know I have to break. Now they feel the same way – but it’s too late. Your bad decisions, all of it is forgiven. But life goes on – just gotta keep living. And I don’t hold nothing against you_ at all. I had too many choices like I’m in the mall. Forget it all – I mean how I’m feeling. Regardless of my pain – I just gotta keep living
