Keep on Moving

[Intro]
Yo, uh

[Verse 1]
Let's go back to June twenty-ninth, two thousand and one
When shit turned upside down around the same time our drama begun
The darn nearly lost it all, and I almost dropped the ball
Got pulled out school then we jumped in a taxi, pulled up to the hospital
Death, death, the word loomin’
Body in a bed, but I saw no movement
He was lookin' at twenty to one, but we didn't see Bert Newton
And urgency loomed, in an emergency room
Hearin’ my old man certain for doom
If the surgeons don't givе him surgery soon
And I was like sevеn back then, back then, yet so with it
‘Cause it's like I knew what was happenin'
But at the same time I didn't
And I remember those times so vivid
Went from bein' a child, so timid
And I kept on movin', movin'
Lookin’ at my life till I saw the sky with no limits

[Chorus]
I gotta keep on movin’, yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don’t look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin'
I gotta keep on movin’, yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don't look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin' (Yo)

[Verse 2]
We spent our time stoned for years
So I never got a picture
But tears turned to stone and stone to tears
So forever I'll miss ya, and I deeply miss them
But I know I gotta sober up
Find that hole and close that up
‘Cause I'm drownin' my pain the deeper I'm sinkin'
The deeper I'm thinkin'
I see these demons within
Speakin' of Sam, speakin' of Jim
Dreamin' I can but believin' is different
‘Cause life can sweep in an instant, in the blink of an eye
In the midst of the skies, so I will not stop till I see that beam in the distance
And I will one day, so I'll see you then
And I'll make sure I kill this shot with a beat and a pen till we meetin' again
So influential, ‘cause it was DV tellin' me to drop a CD
When nobody thought that I had the potential
And now see me with this pencil

[Chorus]
I gotta keep on movin', yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don't look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin'
I gotta keep on movin', yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don't look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin' (Yo, uh)

[Verse 3]
I gotta accept the harsh truth, that I'm gonna pass too
But all I'm doin' is reflectin', it's like I'm livin' in a glass room
And I'm trapped in the same way, and I need to go back to the same place
It's funny how I can wake up so racked, then I snap back in the same day
More like less than a second, trapped in a cage with stress and tension
Collapse in a daze, go back to my ways, but that's how you learn from regrets and lessons
Thinkin' I shoulda, coulda tried
But I'm guessin' it's a good sign
‘Cause without this pain how could I appreciate these good times

[Chorus]
I gotta keep on movin', yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don't look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin'
I gotta keep on movin', yeah I gotta keep on movin'
Don't look back and I keep on movin'
I won't look back and I keep on movin'
