Keep Pushin' Songtext
von Paris feat. Sandy Griffith

Do the things that keep it movin′ everyday
Hold it down, don't let nobody tell you that you can′t
(Tell you that you can't)
Nothin' promised to us, gotta keep it true
With all we got, know this and you′ll never lose

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 woo
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 workin' double shifts, pops ain′t never missed a day
Never missin′ hours, never callin' sick, and never late
Bills keep pilin′ 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' the clock


Same climb, ain′t no sunshine, to keep us on lock
And we easy to provoke, broken focus and hope
It's hard to cope when there's no control and never support
Just broken dreams and promises, we live to survive
There′s no succeedin′, just believin' what we need to get by

But why?

Do the things that keep it movin′ everyday
(We keep pushin', pushin′)
Hold it down, don't let nobody tell you that you can′t
(Tell you that you can't)
(We keep pushin', pushin′)
Nothin′ promised to us, gotta keep it true
(Ain't no stoppin′, and it don't stop, don′t stop)
With all we got, know this and you'll never lose

Said we need to get a little closer now, just like we supposed to now
Never seem to notice how, come up and they slow you down
Hate to see us go without, but ain′t no hirin' if you're 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, cuz, you can't just 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 bullshit, these bitches 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 workin' for the system
So many obstacles, it's possible to fold or flounder
So I stay committed, keep my game tight and family grounded
And pound the pavement, makin′ statements, I′m a hard truth rider
And James Evans nigga, goin' hard with Father′s guidance

Do the things that keep it movin' everyday

(We keep pushin′, pushin')
Hold it down, don′t let nobody tell you that you can't
(Tell you that you can't)
(We keep pushin′, pushin′)
Nothin' promised to us, gotta keep it true
(Ain′t no stoppin', and it don′t stop, don't stop)

With all we got, know this and you′ll never lose (Yeah)
Do the things that keep it movin' everyday
Hold it down, don't let nobody tell you that you can′t
(Tell you that you can′t)
Nothin' promised to us, gotta keep it true
With all we got, know this and you′ll never lose
