| I lost my job at the factory and that’s disastrous
|
| They said it’s due to regulation and higher taxes
|
| They ain’t give me no notice. |
| They knocked me off my axis
|
| I can’t pay the electric bill. |
| It’s total blackness
|
| I suggested some incentives for innovation
|
| But that was met with resistance like it’s a sin of Satan
|
| I’m losing my patience over here. |
| I’m sick of waiting
|
| And I ain’t never expect to be in this situation
|
| And the manufacturing jobs are fading fast (Damn)
|
| Can’t do nothing else. |
| I should’ve stayed in class
|
| I have to wait till summertime to cut the blades of grass
|
| I have this little bit of money. |
| Have to make it last
|
| I have children to feed. |
| I have a loving wife
|
| I had a hard time coming that was nothing nice
|
| I keep asking myself what am I doing wrong
|
| And they just look at me and tell me «Keep it movin' on»
|
| Keep movin' on
|
| But I don’t know where to go
|
| Nowhere to go
|
| Keep movin' on
|
| It was like '91, '92
|
| I remember people telling us that ain’t nobody signing you
|
| There’s no Italians or Puerto Ricans that’s shining through
|
| Y’all should just go back and just do what y’all was designed to do
|
| We ain’t listened to none of that. |
| We hard-headed
|
| We took it back to the lab and then the God set it
|
| We smoked L’s, drank liquor and we got wetted
|
| And everything we did back then was barbaric
|
| Around '94 had some labels take notice
|
| They said that Stoupe was the illest but that I ain’t focused
|
| The label execs needed to be explained dopeness
|
| And that’s around the time I thought that it became hopeless
|
| We was still in the street. |
| D was moving strong
|
| I was failing out of school. |
| It wasn’t cool with moms
|
| I was asking myself, «What was we doing wrong?»
|
| And why the industry keep saying to keep it movin' on
|
| Keep movin' on
|
| But I don’t know where to go
|
| Nowhere to go
|
| Keep movin' on
|
| I signed up cause they promised me some college money
|
| I ain’t the smartest motherfucker but I’m not a dummy
|
| They told me I would be stationed in places hot and sunny
|
| I had a lot of pride. |
| Motherfuckers got it from me
|
| These people over here innocent. |
| They never harmed me
|
| My sergeant tried to convince me that they would try to bomb me
|
| I feel like an outsider stuck inside this army
|
| Everybody brainwashed. |
| American zombies
|
| I ain’t realized how much it set me back
|
| Until I lost my leg and then they sent me back
|
| I don’t have anything now. |
| I’m left with scraps
|
| From a government who created AIDS, invented crack
|
| People told me not to join. |
| I tried to prove 'em wrong
|
| Now I’m homeless and I’m cold without no food thas' warm
|
| I keep asking myself, «What did I do that’s wrong?»
|
| And the government telling me, «Keep it movin' on»
|
| Yeah, a wise man once said
|
| There is no progress, without struggle
|
| I’m a believer in that shit
|
| I struggled my whole life
|
| Feel me on this here
|
| Ohhhhhhhh, keep movin, keep movin (Pazienza)
|
| Keep movin, keep mooooooovin on |
