Keep Pushing

Nobody understands what I'm going through
Either karma ain't real or it's overdue
'Cause every card I've been dealt's been a bad one
Remember nights when my teardrops fell on the barrel of my handgun
Suicidal, sick and tired of fighting
Sick and tired of trying, sick and tired of writing these songs
When you been on your back this long
It's hard to get up and stay strong

But one way or another, I overcame obstacles
Even when the thought of being happy was impossible
I never let 'em know that I was struggling
On the bathroom floor crying, shower water running
Believe me when I tell you I done been through it all
On stage dead broke, standing ten feet tall (tall)
This ain't just music, this is my life (ah)
As long as I'm living, I'm gon' fight

They say when you fall down, you gotta get up (oh)
No matter what you're going through, never give up (oh)
When life gets tough (tough) and you feel like you've had about enough (sure)
Show the world what you're made of (yeah)
Keep pushing (keep pushing), keep going (keep going)
Keep grinding (keep grinding), keep rolling (keep rolling)
'Cause one day everything's gon' be fine (yeah)
When the rain stops, the sun's gon' shine

Growing up, I got picked on, teased and ridiculed
That's why I started a record label in middle school
I called it Double R records, trying to pretend
I was a big shot, hoping I would make friends
I typed contracts and gave 'em to my classmates
They laughed at me, and they ripped 'em in my damn face
I came home and cried, momma held me tight
And told me everything will be alright

I told momma I don't wanna go to school
'Cause everybody there treats your baby like a fool
Little did they know, one day I'd be a star
Now when I see 'em out in public, they run up to my car, like
Damn, Bobby what you been up to? (What you been up to?)
Nothing much, just a whole bunch of fuck yous
'Cause I remember what they put me through (put me)
I could forgive 'em, but I don't want to

They say when you fall down you gotta get up (oh)
No matter what you're going through, never give up (oh)
When life gets tough (tough) and you feel like you've had about enough (sure)
Show the world what you're made of (yeah)
Keep pushing (keep pushing), keep going (keep going)
Keep grinding (keep grinding), keep rolling (keep rolling)
'Cause one day everything's gon' be fine (yeah)
When the rain stops, the sun's gon' shine

I live my life as an outlaw (outlaw)
'Cause reaching out for help's been a lost cause (lost cause)
I ain't never caught a break, I ain't never had luck
I ain't never had a helping hand pick me back up
Nobody gave a fuck, on February 9th (February 9th)
When dad finally lost that fight
Only thing dad left me in his will
Was a whole bunch of momma's bills (momma's bills)

When life got real, I had to work harder
Even though it hurt me, it made me smarter
Time keeps ticking, it's a cruel world
I done had friends try to fuck my girl (ha)
I thought they had love, but I guess I was wrong
I could pay 'em back ten times worse, but I chose to move on
'Cause, you ain't worth my time
No matter what you do, I'm still gon' shine

They say when you fall down, you gotta get up (oh)
No matter what you're going through, never give up (oh)
When life gets tough (tough) and you feel like you've had about enough (sure)
Show the world what you're made of (yeah)
Keep pushing (keep pushing), keep going (keep going)
Keep grinding (keep grinding), keep rolling (keep rolling)
'Cause one day everything's gon' be fine (yeah)
When the rain stops, the sun's gon' shine
