Keep On
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out the way
Is where I stay
Too much to lose
And I refuse
To take a lose
I done paid the cost
If I can see you aint bout you cheese
You can't even kick it with me
Aint nothing changed but the color of a hundred
The world wide open and I want it, my times cometh
Yea I feel I played the shade through to many waves
Patnas passing and we aint promised to many days
Up and at um' like the captain do before the crew
A couple questionable people I'm still sorting through
And you, might be on the chopping block
Drop a nigga like I drop the top
No way to out fox a fox
Might be flawed but never fraud
Whoever there from the beginning when you winning make sure they're involved
Stand tall when providing help, quiet as kept
Niggas will nickel and dime you to death
If you let um'
Aint no half stepping
Gotta keep a weapon
I aint the one for plexing
Niggas get corrected if they out here acting janky
But I'll get um' straightened it aint no need to thank me
And lately I been...
Way out the way
That's where I mother fucking stay nigga
Too much too much
And I refuse
I aint taking no losses
Squashin all crossers
Chorus
Aye, keep ya eye on ya paper don't let these niggas get cha
Can't rob Peter for Paul if Peter pack a pistol
You get ya issue that's just part of the game
Spotted you plotting and watching
That's why we parted our ways
No love loss boss, I keep pushing
I want the money out the safe and the seat cushing
I keeps looking towards the stars and mars
I want a big ass crib for my kid and fill the garage with cars
And all types of miscellaneous shit
Bathroom got a bedaue,
Wouldn't use it but sometimes its that kind of a day
Oh and no less then a 50''
I see you on my split screen trying to get me
You niggas shifty
I aint worried I just mirror ya moves
I grab tha pump betta duck this bitch clearing the room
Safe to assume
You don't really wanna take it to the extreme
Leave me be I'll have you eating ya teeth
Im out the way nigga

Dream on, little dreamer! This is how it all begins
Move your feet ~ feel how sweet it is
Dream on, little dreamer! Follow all your signs
You got to gather up what you need
You got to choose a direction
And when the moment is right for you 

You got to go

You got to keep your ideals high
You got to know that the sky belongs to no one
You know you got to go!
Keep on, little dreamer ~ keep hold of all that you are



@Singyourstyle

Dream on little dreamer
And this is how it all begins
Move your feet
Feel how sweet it is
Dream on little dreamer
Follow all of your own signs

You got to gather what you need
You got to choose a direction
And when the moment is right for you
You got to go

You gotta keep your ideals high
You got to know that the sky belongs to no one
and you know you got to go
Keep on little dreamer
Keep hold of all that you earn
Move your feet
Feel how sweet it is

Dream on little dreamer
Follow all of your own signs
You got to gather what you need
You got to choose a direction
And when the moment is right for you
You got to go

You gotta keep your ideals high
You got to know that the sky belongs to no one
and you know you got to go

You got to go
