[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
