Keep Movin’ On lyrics

[Vinnie Paz Verse 1]

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

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

[Shara Worden Chorus]

Keep movin’ on

But I don’t know where to go

Nowhere to go

Keep movin’ on

[Vinnie Paz Verse 2]

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 els, 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

[Chorus]

[Vinnie Paz Verse 3]

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 realised 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 is worm

I keep asking myself, “What did I do that’s wrong?”

And the government telling me keep it movin’ on
