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 you gotta choose to make my life so complex
  Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
  Trouble leaves some moments for some fun
  I can almost guarantee you
  It'll get better todaaaaaayyy
  
  (CHORUS)
