Beres Hammond - Keeping It Real [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

First Verse :
The order of the day is to have something for people to talk about
You ain't got nothing , then you are nothing
There is no wisdom in the truth if when it all boils down
Back where we started is where we lost faith

Chorus :
We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak
Systems will always have you locked down and weak
Poverty is always where your gonna be
Ill keep it real yeaaaaa , wooowooo

Second Verse :
When you wake up in the morning do you wish this was the day you where longing for
All your bills are paid up , all your troubles are gone
You worry no more
Unlimited spending , everyday is like a holiday
And all the trap that they set would mean that they forget that my foot is already at the door , one more

Refrain :
Would you give up on a good life , that you would cherish down to the ground
Would you give up on your children , Yea / No thats a big NO NO
Would you give up on the people , where no man is an island , can't get it alone
We have good intentions but always the jobs never done
Chorus -
We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak
Systems will always have you locked down and weak
Poverty is always where your gonna be
Ill keep it real yeaaaaa , wooowooo
Check yourself , Know yourself , thats yourself yea
Refrain -
Would you give up on a good life , that you would cherish down to the ground
Would you give up on your children , Yea / No thats a big NO NO
Would you give up on the people , where no man is an island , can't get it alone
We have good intentions but always the jobs never done
Chorus x2
We say our prayers but we dont stand up and speak
Systems will always have you locked down and weak
Poverty is always where your gonna be
Ill keep it real yeaaaaa , wooowooo
