Keepin' It Real Lyrics - Shaggy

Uh, that's right, reality check 

You know what I mean? 

Street life's eh, Scorpion, yeah, uh 

When I was young, I use to dream of being rich 

Have a lot of houses and cars 

Couldn't know which one was which 

And finding me a chick and getting hitched 

Living the fairy tale life perfect without a ditch 

You think that this would bring me happiness 

If at the end of every rainbow 

There was a treasure chest 

Sometimes having more is really less 

So take a look inside yourself 

You'll realize you're really blessed

No matter how you're sad and blue 

There's always someone who has it worse than you 

Sometimes you gotta pay your dues 

So don't worry just push on through 

Keep'n it real 

Gotta big up all my peoples who be working 

On the future though they know they gotta struggle 

Keep'n it real 

To all my homies working on the 9 to 5 

And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble 

Keep'n it real 

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible 

There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows 

Keep'n it real 

If things are as bad as they can be 

You can be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow 

Photos 

And I forgot to have myself the house 

The mansion, and the Benz 

I'm not the type of brother who be making mad ends 

I got myself a girl but we be kicking it as friends 

Is not enough for me now that depends 

Again, not everything you want 

Is everything you really need 

The standard of society is more deviated by greed 

Are you prepared to follow? 

Tell me, are you prepared to lead? 

So persevere and you'll succeed 

Keep'n it real 

Gotta big up all my peoples who be working 

On the future though they know they gotta struggle 

Keep'n it real 

To all my homies working on the 9 to 5 

And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble 

Keep'n it real 

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible 

There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows 

Keep'n it real 

If things are as bad as they can be 

You can be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow 

All the harsh realities 

Appears to come in twos and threes 

Don't worry 'cuz there'll be a better day 

One thing I can promise you 

Just keep on keeping on, I swear to you 

There's gonna be a brighter day 

Back in the days, I use to dream of being rich 

Have a lot of houses and cars 

Couldn't know which one was which 

And finding me a chick and getting hitched 

Living the fairy tale life, perfect without a ditch 

You think that this would bring me happiness 

If at the end of every rainbow 

There was a treasure chest 

Sometimes having more is really less 

So take a look inside yourself 

You'll realize you're really blessed 

No matter how you're sad and blue 

There's always someone who has it worse than you 

Sometimes you gotta pay your dues 

So don't worry just push on through 

Keep'n it real 

Gotta big up all my peoples who be working 

On the future though they know they gotta struggle 

Keep'n it real 

To all my homies working on the 9 to 5 

And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble 

Keep'n it real 

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible 

There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows 

Keep'n it real 

If things are as bad as they can be 

You can be sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow 

That's right, see me, yeah 

Give thanks fa wha you have, ya kno 

And when you think that it's bad 

There's always somebody that's worse 

Know what I'm saying? Give Jah blessing, see me
