Keep on Moving
C.R.I.$.I.$. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And life seems not alright
Keep moving on
Moving on
The fire will be your light
When people say you can't
Never ask em why
Keep moving onMoving on
The blocks are part of life
When dreams get faded
Disfigured and unaccepted
Shattered downgraded and stomped on
And become a laughing stock
Of the people
Like a circus show
Underrated and spat at like a dirty wall
It ain't time for you to quit if you strongly believe
It ain't time for you to grieve
It ain't time for you to leave
And watch em waste away
It's time for you to plead to the Father to craft and make a way
Raise them pillars of water on the red sea
So you can take a stroll on that dry ground
No time for back down
You ain't done fam
Until the fruits appear to freeze the crappy fear
You need not to adhere
To the pressure
Cause where the battle is tough victory is almost near
So don't focus on the rear
And get stuck on past defeats
Visualize your win and work towards attaining itWork towards being King or Queen
When grey clouds turn to black
And life seems not alright
Keep moving on
Moving on
The fire will be your light
When people say you can't
Never ask em why
Keep moving on
Moving on
The blocks are part of life
Keep moving like a Jedi coming at a Darth Vader
A ship in stormy weather
A knight in shiny armor
Hoping to defeat that that deadly beast
Success is earned
Progress requires dedication and work
vision needs hope and faith
Determination despite the stinging pain
Turning a deaf ear to songs of shame
Never mind folks throwing dirt on your name
Focus on getting those goals done
let em keep that fame
Never front, never curse
Never hate,
When life seems like an empty treasure chest
Never waste time feasting on regrets
Setbacks occur homie I can relate
No lie, the pain is great
Feeling like calling it quit
I pray you never do it
Patience until your hard work bears fruit
Maintain your wit
Visualize your win and work towards attaining it
Work towards being King or Queen
When grey clouds turn to black
And life seems not alright
Keep Moving on
Moving on
The fire will be your light
When people say you can't
Never ask em why
Keep moving on
Moving on
The blocks are part of life
The lyrics of C.R.I.$.I.$.'s song "Keep on Moving" convey a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song encourages listeners to keep moving forward, even when life feels difficult and dreams appear shattered. The lyrics remind us that difficult times and setbacks are just part of life, and it is important to keep pushing through.
The song emphasizes the need to ignore negativity and criticism from others. When people say you can't, the lyrics advise never asking why. Instead, the focus should be on continuing to move forward, despite the doubts and discouragement of others. The song encourages the listener to believe in oneself and to seek guidance and strength from a higher power. It suggests turning to the "Father" to create a path and overcome obstacles, just as the biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea to lead the Israelites to safety is referenced.
