[00:10]It's all that I can do
[00:14]to keep on trying
[00:21]All that I can do
[00:26]to keep from lying
[00:32]With my inside on the outside
[00:35]you know just how I feel
[00:38]Do I scare you like I scare myself?
[00:41]I'm just trying to keep it real
[00:49]In a world where only money
[00:53]is the major of a man
[01:00]Hanging on the pride
[01:04]is like watering a desert sand
[01:11]So I'm trying to look for meaning
[01:14]in this crazy life
[01:16]But it's so hard
[01:20]you know the way I feel
[01:21]I'm just trying to keep it real
[01:29]They say look to the future
[01:31]but sometimes you gotta look back
[01:39]They say just the way you've been
[01:43]and keep yourself on track
[01:50]I know that all the anger
[01:52]was a hurting on my soul
[01:54]but watching breathe become a gun--
[01:59]it's so hard to keep it real
[03:23]It's all that I can do
[03:28]to keep on trying
[03:35]All that I can do
[03:41]to keep from lying
[03:45]with my inside on the outside
[03:49]you know just how I feel
[03:51]Do I scare you like I scare myself?
[03:55]I'm just trying to keep it real
