Blueprint - Keep Movin' (Iron and Niacin) lyrics
[Blueprint - Keep Movin' Iron and Niacin lyrics]
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
I don't rush rhymes
I count down the minutes my hands took
Pushin' pens, perfectin' rap hooks
My rap books
Inspired by the spirit of Sam Cooke
I know it's God's plan so I don't act shook
What's that mean? It means that
I can't be booked
By an A&R tellin' me I can't be raw
Forced to rhyme about a gold chain
That hang to the floor
I plan to see more than all
Of my fam's seen before i move forward
Mom's told me that she'd do it with style
And travel the world if she never had a child
And I had to smile and thank
God that she did her thing
As a caged bird given the gift to sing
And a day that she hoped would bring
A chance for one of her babies to
Grow up and spread those wings
'Cause, nowadays
Most broads can't hold their own
Too dependent on a man and can't be alone
The bedroom's the only place they're
Used to being grown so every month
They got a different dude all up in they home
Layin' up, watchin' TV, answerin' the phone
Cookin' crack, smokin' weed
Cleanin' out his chrome
He tryin' to get money
She just a part of the plan
A spot to lay low
But she thinks she got her a man
Ain't nothin' worse than a
Single mother's despair hungry and scared
Kids wishin' pops was there
Every day it gets harder to bear
She wonders if her kids would be
Better off in foster care
But she holds on, she's so strong
Knowin' life goes on
And gains strength from an old
Song played on the radio
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Back to reality, another gun shot
Another casualty down the block
Crime scene surrounded by cops
Apathetic, while the people stand
Around and watch she's in the window
Wishin' that the violence would stop
I'm on my way home from work
Gettin' off of the bus saw the ambulance
Figured that somebody got touched
But, I'm happy that it ain't nobody I love
A fallen soldier in a street
War that died over drugs
It gotta be bad karma
'Cause last time I saw him, he was alive
Standin' on the very same corner
Out to take what the streets had to offer
Chest pokin' out as if he had body armor
I guess not, when it gets hot
You can get got
And get left without your life
In the same spot
It's ill, could you imagine how it would feel
To be dead and not even
Know you just got killed?
Just a spirit wondering if it's real
Lookin' down at your own bloody body
While it lies there still it's time to build
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
