Keep Pushin Plies

I dealt with death in my family, I thought my heart would never heal
When I was young, I never understood the pressure paying bills
I was lost and I was confused when my daddy disappeared
If I had to raise my kids by myself, I wonder how that would feel
I could they lay my Auntie off after 27 years
She got four kids and a grand-baby she try to take care
My lil’ niece 13, got her on birth control pills
There are some mornings I wake up feel like a slave in the fields
Started feeling like Pac ‘cause I done shed so many tears
This pressure on me still, I hold my head in the air
I refuse to let it break me ‘cause the world don’t give a damn
You won’t ever hear me complain even though it ain’t fair
Your mistakes in this world is another person’s smile
I may fall and I may…but I will never lay down
Dig deep in my soul and pick my soul up off the ground
‘Fore I let myself sink I’mma turn it all around

[Chorus]

I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I can’t look back, too many problems in my past
I can’t stand still ‘cause my life ain’t beaten path
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I often ask the question why is God punishing me
He try to make me strong but that’s all that, it can’t be
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep pushing
