T‐Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh
Keep going
Yeah
They get me up in the morning
They give me reason to believe im here
For somebody
For someone
Happiness ain't a word describe, what I feel
Like when I try to give it up
Sick and tired of all this stuff
They give me reason to
Keep going
And going
When I feel that I should quit
I keep going
I never knew dis would happen
And if you knew bout my past you would see
Why
Its a miracle
But you can see why I'm happy
Nobody wished dis for me
This was prayer
Where would I be with out them
And when try to give it up
Sick and tired of all this stuff
When I feel like its enough
I keep going
They give me reason to keep going
And going
And going
In T-Pain's song "Keep Going," the lyrics reflect on the inspiration and motivation he receives from those around him. The first verse describes how this motivation gives him a reason to believe that he is here in the world for someone or something. He goes on to say that these people make him feel joyous and that happiness can't even begin to describe what he feels. When he gets tired and wants to give up, these people give him a reason to keep going. The chorus further emphasizes this message, with T-Pain repeating the phrase "keep going" and stating that these people are the reason he keeps pushing forward.
The second verse provides more context for T-Pain's motivations. He notes that he never expected to be where he is today, and that if others knew about his past, they would understand why he feels so grateful for those around him. He sees the inspiration and motivation he receives as a miracle, and he understands that nobody would have wished this for him. Instead, he sees these people as an answer to his prayers. When he feels like giving up or when he's had enough, these people give him a reason to keep going.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the power of human connections and how they can inspire and motivate us to keep going even when things get tough. T-Pain's lyrics emphasize the deeply personal nature of this inspiration, as well as how it can come from unexpected places.
