Living ft. Scarlet

lyrics

They told me keep on writing, some voices can't be missing that's how you keep on fighting.

They told me keep on dreaming, told me keep on searching that's how you keep on breathing

They told me drop that knife, and then leave all that and please stay off prison

They told me stay on track and only keep to facts and then you keep on moving

My family keeps on living, even though things ain't easy

They told me keep on dancing, even though life ain't easy

They told me dance for rains, homie play your part and then you keep on living
