[Intro: Shara Worden]
Ooh
Keep movin' on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on (Ooh)
Keep movin' on
[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]
I lost my job at the factory and that's disastrous
They said it's due to regulations and higher taxes
They ain't give me no notice, they knocked me off my axis
I can't pay the electric bill, it's total blackness
I suggested some incentives for innovation
But that was met with resistance like it's a sin of Satan
I'm losing my patience over here, I'm sick of waiting
And I ain't never expect to be in this situation
And the manufacturin' jobs are fadin' fast (Damn)
Can't do nothin' else, I should've stayed in class
I have to wait 'til summertime to cut the blades of grass
I have this little bit of money, have to make it last
I have children to feed, I have a lovin' wife
I had a hard time comin', that was nothin' nice
I keep askin' myself what am I doin' wrong
And they just look at me and tell me, "Keep it movin' on"
[Chorus: Shara Worden]
They keep sayin' to me
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
But I don't know where to go
Nowhere to go (Keep movin' on)
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
Keep movin' on
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
[Verse 2: Vinnie Paz]
It was like '91, '92
I remember people tellin' us that ain't nobody signin' you
There's no Italians or Puerto Ricans that's shinin' through
Y'all should just go back and just do what y'all was designed to do
We ain't listened to none of that, we hard-headed
We took it back to the lab and then the God set it
We smoked L's, drank liquor and we got wetted
And everything we did back then was barbaric
Around '94, had some labels take notice
They said that Stoupe was the illest but that I ain't focused
The label execs needed to be explained dopeness
And that's around the time I thought that it became hopeless
We was still in the street, D was movin' strong
I was failin' out of school and wasn't cool with Moms
I was askin' myself, "What was we doin' wrong?"
And why the industry saying to keep it movin' on
[Chorus: Shara Worden]
They keep sayin' to me
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
But I don't know where to go
Nowhere to go (Keep movin' on)
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
Keep movin' on
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
[Post-Chorus: Shara Worden]
Keep movin', keep movin'
Sometimes I just don't feel like keepin' on (I don't feel like I can)
Sometimes I just don't feel like keepin' on (Feel like keepin' on)
[Verse 3: Vinnie Paz]
I signed up 'cause they promised me some college money
I ain't the smartest motherfucker, but I'm not a dummy
They told me I would be stationed in places hot and sunny
I had a lot of pride, motherfuckers got it from me
These people over here innocent, they never harm me
My sergeant tried to convince me that they would try to bomb me
I feel like an outsider stuck inside this army
Everybody brainwashed, American zombies
I ain't realize how much it set me back
Until I lost my leg and then they sent me back
I don't have anything, now I'm left with scraps
From a government who created AIDS, invented crack
People told me not to join, I tried to prove 'em wrong
Now I'm homeless and I'm cold without no food that's warm
I keep askin' myself, "What did I do that's wrong?"
And the government tellin' me, "Keep it movin' on"
[Outro: Shara Worden & Vinnie Paz]
They keep sayin' to me
Keep movin' on (Yeah, a wise man once said)
(There is no progress)
Nowhere to go (Without struggle)
Oh-oh (Keep movin' on) (I'm a believer in that shit)
Keep movin' on (I struggled my whole life)
Keep movin' on
Feel me on this here
Ooh, keep movin', keep movin' (Pazienza)
Keep movin', keep movin' on
