Keep It Live

When was the last time our hearts beat so fast

That we couldn't keep 'em in our chests

And our feet they touched solid ground

The kind that hasn't been touched by human progress

When was the last time we stayed awake the whole night through

Not counting; sheep or trying to get some sleep

But making sure our dreams are already made manifest

And if your answer is like mine is "too long ago"

And if you hear the music but you can't feel the soul

And if ever day's another battle to prove you still have control

We can't take it in stride we gotta keep it love

This is how it's gonna be

We got nothing without our thoughts

We're just cars pulling; out of abandoned parking lots

I'm burning out on all the action, I want the passions

This is how it's gonna be

I'm burning out on all the fashion, give me interaction

This is how it's gonna be

Another sucker for the cash in, and look what happens

This is how it's gonna be

And all my people keep it live, we're trying to strive

Do what you gotta to survive it

Whether working nine to five, or hurting outside

Stay unified just not divided

And man keep rolling with the times, keep molding the rhymes

And feeling fine, we're realigning

So if it's draggin pay no mind, just take in the shine

And keep it live up on the front line

Now maybe we've tried hard, in pain tried to forget

Behind these metal bars lay our dreams as cold as death

And years and years of planning, the bloodstains, hope and sweat

It's not a solid backing for the fears that here once crept

So let this be a less to the times and tourniquets

And with our flags surrendering let us start the paths we've set

And as this union grows, and we forge our first footsteps

May memories not loose hold of all the tears that we once wept

I'm burning out on all the action, I want the passions

This is how it's gonna be

I'm burning out on all the fashion, give be interaction

This is how it's gonna be

Another sucker for the cash in, they started blastin'

This is how it's gonna be

I'm getting caught up in the captions, trapped in the transactions

This is how it's gonna be
