Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trynna get in the game, but you're shit outta luck
You really think you got it all figured all
Talk so much shit you know nothing about
Never get involved
Never paid dues, we know who you are
Never earned your scars
Now you want to be up in arms?
Keepin' On but you Can't Keep Up
Keepin' On but you Can't Keep Up
Keepin' On but you Can't Keep Up
Keepin' On but you Can't Keep Up
