Keep Striving

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'
Keep on strivin'
Keep on strivin'
On
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 makin' 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'
Keep on strivin'
Keep on strivin'
On
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 I kept my mind on a 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'
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
