Big Scarr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Let's go
Gotta keep goin'
Grandma knew I was gon' be a star on the day that I was born
Used to have dreams about models and foreigns (and foreigns)
Now it's ice on my neck and my wrist like it's snowin' (snow)
Fly-ass lil' bruh, like an eagle I'm soarin' (I'm soarin')
Lil' bitch, she nasty, she let me record it (record it)
I hit the mall buyin' Christian Dior (Dior)
Damn, that bitch bad, but I cannot adore her (I cannot adore her)
Two Birkin bags, but you know I can't spoil her
Block the ho number, delete it, avoid her
I walk 'em down, hop out with the boy pump
Pockets on fat stickin' out like a sore thumb
I used to be broke, now a lil' nigga on (I'm on)
You ain't get no money, then fuck you, you just wrong (you wrong)
Fuck what they said, boy, you gotta keep goin'
Stayed down, done ran up my money, you know that I gotta keep goin' (Keep goin')
Damn, I'm on two drivin' all type of foreigns (Foreigns)
You hear the engine, no need for a horn (yoom)
Yeah, my hitters, a reason they pull up and blow 'em (blow)
Thank God I made it up outta the storm (I made it)
I done got rich, they don't love me no more (why?)
Drip every day, remember days I was poor (I'm drippin')
Hit from the back off the Perc', now she's sore
She say her last nigga, he lame, he a dork (He lame)
Been in the streets, I been jumped off the porch (let's go)
Know we Palm Angles and might miss for a court (court)
Get hit with the fire, burn his ass with the torch (bah)
Find me the plug, take me straight to the source (that man)
Supercharged car, still drive, it is sport (sport)
Don't try to run, no, you not
Gotta keep goin'
Grandma knew I was gon' be a star on the day that I was born
Used to have dreams about models and foreigns (and foreigns)
Now it's ice on my neck and my wrist like it's snowin' (snow)
Fly-ass lil' bruh, like an eagle I'm soarin' (I'm soarin')
She won't suck dick, bitch, she petty and borin' (she petty and borin')
Lil' bitch, she nasty, she let me record it (record it)
I hit the mall buyin' Christian Dior (Dior)
Damn, that bitch bad, but I cannot adore her (I cannot adore her)
Want Birkin bags, but you know I can't spoil her
Block the ho number, delete it, avoid her
I walk 'em down, hop out with the boy pump
Pockets on fat stickin' out like a sore thumb
I used to be broke, now a lil' nigga on (I'm on)
You ain't get no money, then fuck you, you just wrong (you wrong)
Fuck what they said, boy, you gotta keep goin'
Uh, you gotta keep goin'
Let's go
In the song "Keep Going" by Big Scarr, the lyrics reflect a narrative of resilience, self-assurance, and perseverance despite the adversities faced. The opening verse highlights a sense of destiny and ambition as the singer reminisces about their grandmother foreseeing their future success from birth. This prophetic notion is juxtaposed with the pursuit of material wealth and status symbolized by the references to luxury items like ice on the neck and wrist, Christian Dior purchases, and Birkin bags.
The lyrics also touch on themes of personal growth and transformation, as the singer contrasts their past struggles with their current elevated status. The progression from dreaming about models and foreign cars to actually living a lavish lifestyle signifies a journey of self-improvement and self-realization. However, the track doesn't shy away from addressing shallow relationships and superficial encounters, as evidenced by the dismissive attitude towards a certain woman and the focus on materialistic possessions.
The chorus serves as a motivational mantra, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of challenges and setbacks. Through the repetition of the phrase "Gotta keep goin'," the artist conveys a message of resilience and endurance, urging listeners to push forward despite obstacles. This recurring theme reinforces the idea that success is not solely defined by material wealth but also by the strength of character and the ability to overcome hurdles.
Overall, "Keep Going" captures a narrative of triumph over adversity, self-belief, and unwavering determination to rise above circumstances. It blends themes of success, materialism, personal evolution, and perseverance in a modern hip-hop context, resonating with audiences who relate to the struggles and triumphs depicted in the lyrics. The song serves as a reminder to stay focused on one's goals, continue progressing, and never give up on the journey towards success.
