The lyrics of "Keep On Trying" by 2nd funk-tion feat. Kam convey a message of resilience and determination in the face of challenges. The repeated phrase "Keep on trying" serves as a mantra, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and never giving up.
The verse begins by describing the feeling of being trapped, like a spider caught in a web. The reference to "virtual fighters" suggests the presence of adversaries or obstacles. Despite this, the lyrics urge the listener not to be discouraged, emphasizing the need to keep trying. The use of "mayday" implies a sense of urgency and the need for action.
The lyrics then shift to portray a defiant and confident attitude. The mention of being an "intoxicated madman" drinking sake without concern for tomorrow suggests a fearless, live-in-the-moment mentality. There is a refusal to dwell on sorrow or setbacks, and a call to establish one's own identity and make a mark in the world. The line "you can rest in peace when you learn my f'n name" implies that recognition and success come through persistence and effort.
The second refrain further emphasizes the importance of perseverance, reinforcing the message that one must continue trying despite setbacks. The reference to falling from tall mountains may symbolize the challenges and obstacles encountered on the path to success. However, the lyrics assert that the artist is unafraid of any man and possesses deep talents and skills. "Blast that cranium" suggests a determination to break through barriers and showcase one's abilities. The references to evolution and being the son of Kam signify the artist's unique and authentic style, not imitating others but remaining true to oneself.
The lyrics further demonstrate the artist's confidence and mastery in handling any situation. The invocation of imagination, rhyme, and time speaks to the creative process and dedication in honing one's craft. The mention of drinking shots and cruising signifies a sense of celebration and enjoyment in the midst of the artist's journey. The lines "ain't no fuckin' wit these!!!" and "steady giving the bird" suggest a rebellious and assertive attitude towards those who doubt or underestimate the artist's abilities.
Overall, "Keep On Trying" promotes a spirit of resilience, self-belief, and the refusal to let obstacles deter one's path towards success. The lyrics encourage listeners to remain persistent, embrace their unique talents, and never be afraid to assert their worth and greatness.
