Cheap shot

Keep on movin'


[Verse 1: Big Oak]

From the depths of the underground I twist and turn

Bring my pen to the surface level so kids can learn

I don't have mansions so I talk about my skills

I'm in to expansion of all my mental builds

See it's picturesque, don't you enjoy the scenery?

Underground MCs equivalent to honey bees

Forced to work for little pay through to something called drive

A magnetic attraction to the wish to keep it live

Once you walk in the door it's very hard to exit

Addicted to the outcome like a junkie searching for his next fix

I move swift and make decisions on the go

This game moves so fast and I don't wanna miss the boat

Or miss my next chance to shine with my designs

So I pay attention to what happens and change the time

I've had my ups and downs that turn me sideways

But I keep at it similar to a bad habit

With a strong fist I grab it, now it's in my possession

I stay honest in this valley of deception

?? massive egos and dodging sly agendas

Learning who is good people and who is a pretenda

I'm recognizing when it's my turn to run

And I'm also realizing that this path has just begun, see

The key is to stay humble in the face of praise

And also stay afloat when they disgrace the ?

So keep movin' with the poise

Keep movin' with the quickness

Keep movin' on the track that prepares you for attack

I keep movin', no one misses mine, not a rhyme piece

My name is Big Oak and I just spoke my piece


[Hook - 2X]

Yo, this is dedicated to everybody who (keep on movin')

Is not doing exactly what they wanna do (keep on movin')

And this is dedicated to (keep on movin') everybody that's spending money

Life and time addicted to rap (keep on movin')


[Verse 2: Nick Fury]

? is from the root of NIKE that means victory

So it's given in my name that there's no trick to me

Try to picture me without this, lifeless and (?cloutless?)

Livin' low key like one story houses

Most men are like mouses, they searchin for the cheese

But the crumbs, don't really seem to add up

So I walk with my hat up

Lookin for the best route to point be

And not let the curves disappoint me

Nobody said it would be easy doin' all of this at once

Go to work, go to school, make music, smoke blunts

Aim for the fence, ring away, when I'm showin' bunt

Still satisfy myself and give 'em what they want

See I'm a full-time MC, a night job rapper

A positive thinker, but an over-reactor

A slacker, but of my craft I'm a master

An eye on success and an eye on disaster

The combo of it all could make a weak man fall

So I stand like a giant, though I'm not that tall

I just labour and labour until I savour the flavour

And everyday, my hair it gets a little bit grayer

But I love it, that's why everybody does it

The rock star life, on the fast full budget

See ten years ago, I wrote my first verse

Ten years later, universally dispersed

So I'm showin' and provin, 'till the don't hate me

Keep on movin' like a family in the navy

I ain't got a job on some pin me or pay me

I've been around the block and even taken it lately

[Hook] - repeat to fade
