Keep Striving - Intellectual

[Flex]

Keep on strivin'

[Verse 1:]

I keep strivin', and never quit

Until I make the jam that hits

'Cause my name is Trag and Trag never quits

Even though I had doubts in the back of my mind

And I felt like givin' up, from time to time

But I was destined for fame and one day I would shine

'Cause I don't need rings and a fat gold chain

All I need is a aim, and a positive brain

'Cause you gotta stay strong and go for yours

Trials and tribulations form detours

But I keep on movin' and never throw the towel in

Hungry, 'cause my stomach's growlin'

Fame is a pool and in it I'm divin'

I keep movin' and keep on strivin'

Keep strivin'

[Flex]

Keep on strivin'

[Verse 2]

You wanna hear hard times? Man listen

The Trag didn't even have a pot to piss in

I was sick of police snatchin' me up by the collar

'Cause I was on the block tryin' to make a fast dollar

'Cause I need money, but, crime's not the answer

Now I'm makin' money with my DJ and my dancer

When things got rough, I had to sell my cable

'Cause I couldn't get a deal from a record label

In the rap game you're bound to get jerked

But I kept the dream, then I put it to work

Kept my eyes upfront, 'cause I couldn't look back

And I never had time for the jealous crap

'Cause whether you're doin' wrong or you're livin' good

Somebody's gonna say you're not doin' what you should

The more I learned, the less I could care

'Cause criticism is somethin', I'm not tryin' to hear

Fame is a pool, and in it I'm divin'

I keep movin' and keep on strivin'

Keep strivin'

[Flex]

Keep on strivin'

[Verse 3]

When the road gets rough and life gets trife

Just bear it, you're gonna have to sacrifice

'Cause in this world, only the strong survive

Many a mornings I've searched for a nine to five

My stomach growlin' and my pockets hurt

And for the whole week, I wore the same t-shirt

But I came too far just to turn around

So I kept my mind on a higher ground

More sessions in the studio got delayed

(Yo man, today Kane's workin') Yeah, I got played

Hangin' up at this radio station every week

Just to get on the mic, and get a chance to speak

Just to show my talent, like I knew I could

'Cause deep in my heart, I knew I was good

Motivation, would build my skill

I never gave up, and I never will

I take the chance, to go for mine

So lay down the track, and watch me shine

With dreams, some try to tear it

Hold me back, and break my spirit

I battle and fight 'cause the struggle gets longer

The more you doubt, it makes me stronger

Fame is a pool, so let me dive in

I keep movin' and keep on strivin'

Keep strivin'

[Flex]

Keep on strivin'

(You can do it, hold on)

Keep on strivin'

(Keep on strivin')

The world is yours

(Keep on strivin')

Keep on strivin'

(Gotta hold on, hold on, yes you do)

(Hold on)
