Keep On Keepin' On

Keep On Keepin' On
Jojo

Ooooh-ooohh
hey-yeeeah

You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy

[VERSE 1:]
Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night
That things'll get better soon

I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now

[CHORUS:]
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy

[VERSE 2:]
Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad)
Seein other kids with their Tims on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)
Why did God choose to make my life so complex
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is her only source of fun
I can almost guarantee you
It'll get better soooooon

[CHORUS]

Just the title itself gives me hope. When I listen to this song, I do more things for the day. This is actually my theme song for my high school life.

There will be always ups and downs in your life but you have to decide if you want your downs to affect you and just sit there and be a burden to people. When I hear this song, I just stop and appreciate such lovely lyrics. This song was made by Jojo herself. She went through all those obstacles and look where she is now. She saying that hey, no matter family background you have, or how poor you are you should never lose hope and reach for your goals.
You just have to have a strong faith in God and everything will be in place. Never doubt what the Lord has given us.

For my fellow third year students and to aybody who is reading this:
In times of hardship and trials, you just have to know who is higher. You just have to look up and say Lord, thanks for these trials because you have a better plan for me than I have for myself. Believe in yourself and in what you can do. Don't let one thing that dissapointed you hurt your future.

Have a nice day!
