Keepin' it Real

Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground

And when nobody's watching they can tear it all down

Friend or foe cause I can be either one

But if they come at me then they better all run

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

Long toothed time is marching on as I sing

Just cut me down the middle and count my rings

Can't keep nothing best to leave it alone

You die naked and they burn up your bones

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go

If when you get there you can't let anyone know

When my time comes I won't be leaving this Earth

And what I've done for people will determine my worth

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn

Now I'd keep talking but you never learn

The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal

You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
