Keep Pushin Lyrics - Pebble To A Pearl - Nikka Costa

When the man's 

Got ya down 

Ain't no love 

To be found 

[Chorus] 

Keep pushin' keep pushin' 

Keep pushin' keep pushin' 

When the sky 

Fallin' in 

Feel like 

You'll never win 

[Chorus] 

When ya try 

To get ahead 

But ya fall 

Back instead 

[Chorus] 

When the lies 

Outweigh the truth 

Feel like nothing 

You can do 

[Chorus] 

I have lived among the non-believers 

They'll tell ya that it can't be done 

The fool will have you second guess the dreamer 

But I'd rather be the one that tried 

So I'm just goin' keep on 

When the world's 

Cavin' in 

You can barely 

Find a friend 

[Chorus] 

When they say 

Go away 

We don't need 

No one like you 

[Chorus] 

When ya hangin' 

By a thread 

Dig your heels 

In instead 

[Chorus] 

I have lived among the non-believers 

They'll tell ya that it can't be done 

The fool will have you second guess the dreamer 

But I'd rather be the one that tried 

So I'm just goin' keep on 

People wanna know 

Why I'm so persistent 

Swim against the tide 

Resisting the system 

Don't I wanna be ridin' the charts 

All she gotta do is forget about art 

Shakin' their fingers but I'm holdin' steady 

Goin' bout my bi'ness I'll wait till they're ready 

Keeping my truth in whatever I do 

Makin' sure the light inside of me 

Still shines through
