Travie McCoy – Keep On Keeping On – Lyrics

Keep On Keeping On by Travie McCoy

Chorus

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

Verse 1

He spent most of his youth

with his head down

chubby, fugly, awkward walk

and not much of a talker

He was good at setting bad examples

but bad at math, crunch time

He kept it moving like the lunch line

Working on his salad bars

and fruit punch lines

His simple triplets had his

english teachers tongue tied

As he starts pirouette for perfection

and Darren Aronofsky black swan refection

Pre

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more, he wasn't sure

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more

Chorus

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

Verse 2

Raised in a broken home built brick

by government cheese brick

back and forth between parents

making us sea sick

On his knees every night

praying for a little change

but the tooth fairy was broke

and offered little hope

He used to stand in front of mirrors

with his toothbrush star searching

But he ain't have to search far

He was smart and made a pact with himself

with a smirk and made a vow that one day

his dad would never ever have to worry

Pre

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more, he wasn't sure

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more

Chorus

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

Verse 3

Fast forward a few 24 hours

Little boy turned man

makes good on his promise

Just to say we didn't take the trips

to the bahamas

Now you're boy bank account

got a few more commas...

The hard work payed off, don't it?

Plus it feel good when you can say you own it

No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage

That generator money, no shortage

Pre

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more, he wasn't sure

He plucked feather from his back

And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward

toward something more

Chorus

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

Bridge Instrumental

Chorus

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh

You gotta keep on keeping on

Even with the feeling

that you're gonna keep losing

You gotta come back strong

Oh Oh
