Songtexte: Intelligent Hoodlum. Keep Striving.

(feat. Flex)

[Flex]
Keep on strivin

Keep on strivin

On

[VERSE 1: Tragedy]
I keep strivin and never quit
Until I make the jam that hits
Cause my name is Trag and Trag never quits
Even though I had doubts in the back of my mind
And I felt like givin up from time to time
But I was destined for fame and one day I would shine
Cause I don't need rings and a fat gold chain
All I need is a aim and a positive brain
Cause you gotta stay strong and go for yours
Trials and tribulations form detours
But I keep on movin and never throw the towel in
Hungry, cause my stomach's growlin
Fame is a pool and in it I'm divin
I keep movin and keep on strivin
Keep strivin

Keep strivin
Keep strivin
Keep strivin

[Flex]
Keep on strivin

Keep on strivin

On

[VERSE 2: Tragedy]
You wanna hear hard times? Man listen
The Trag didn't even have a pot to piss in
I was sick of police snatchin me up by the collar
Cause I was on the block tryin to make a fast dollar
Cause I need money but crime's not the answer
Now I'm making money with my DJ and my dancer
When things got rough I had to sell my cable
Cause I couldn't get a deal from a record label
In the rap game you're bound to get jerked
But I kept the dream, then I put it to work
Kept my eyes upfront cause I couldn't look back
And I never had time for the jealous crap
Cause whether you're doin wrong or you're livin good
Somebody's gonna say you're not doin what you should
The more I learned the less I could care
Cause criticism is somethin I'm not tryin to hear
Fame is a pool and in it I'm divin
I keep movin and keep on strivin
Keep strivin

Keep strivin
Keep strivin
Keep strivin

[Flex]
Keep on strivin

Keep on strivin

[VERSE 3: Tragedy]
When the road gets rough and life gets trife
Just bear it, you're gonna have to sacrifice
Cause in this world only the strong survive
Many a mornings I've searched for a nine to five
My stomach growlin and my pockets hurt
And for the whole week I wore the same t-shirt
But I came too far just to turn around
So kept my mind on the higher ground
More sessions in the studio got delayed
(Yo man, today Kane's workin) Yeah, I got played
Hangin up at this radio station every week
Just to get on the mic and get a chance to speak
Just to show my talent like I knew I could
Cause deep in my heart I knew I was good
Motivation would build my skill
I never gave up and I never will
I take the chance to go for mine
So lay down the track and watch me shine
With dreams, some try to tear it
Hold me back and break my spirit
I battle and fight cause the struggle gets longer
The more you doubt, it makes me stronger
Fame is a pool, so let me dive in
I keep movin and keep on strivin
Keep strivin

[Flex]
Keep on strivin

Keep on strivin
(You can do it, hold on)
On
Keep on strivin
(Keep on strivin)
The world is yours
(Keep on strivin)
Keep on strivin
(Gotta hold on, hold on, yes you do)
On
On
On
(Hold on)
On
