Big Squig Keep It Going Lyrics

[Produced by The Backspin The Vibe Chemist]

[Verse 1: Big Squig]
This jam is dedicated to brothers like me
It's not a mystery; we're dealing with reality
I was young and everything was going cool
But then I graduated then I went to high school
It was alright despite the drugs and fights
The ignorant teachers that spoke to us impolite
The ninth grade was the last grade I saw
I was off to school then I stopped at the front door
I saw my peoples in the front rolling dice, smoking blunts
Forget about school; let's go to lunch
It wasn't only me so my mind said "hey"
We rolled twenty deep and did the same things everyday
In the front, the back, the girls with the fat
Then we stayed fresh and get our money stacked
It went from days to months to years
We're still in the front watching our graduating peers
Now I know and understand that there would be others
That's why I dedicated this jam to my brothers

[Hook]
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
I keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
So we can stand up for blocks and take it to the top

[Verse 2: Big Squig]
Things got worse; I dropped out totally
I chilled for a year; tried it go back for my GED
But I was lost; my mind fell off course
Tried to jump on my horse
My mind couldn't stand the force
To get me motivated to be on school grounds
Instead of that I'd rather chill with a girl and lounge
Feet kicked up watching video tapes
And fronting to myself like everything was going great
It wasn't great; I hate my mistake I faked to chill while i was getting told life is real
I didn't comprehend or understand my mother's plan
Life is hard in the ghetto for a black man
She tried to make me hear so I could prepare
To get a career because the time's almost near
To situate my life have some kids, a wife
And maintain things in the world that's nice
I'm her son; her oldest one; I've got to earn
She did her part and now it's my turn
To take care of her, just like she did me
But that's impossible in the penitentiary
Day by day I always see others
That's why I dedicated this jam to my brothers

[Hook] x2
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
I keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
So we can stand up for blocks and take it to the top

[Verse 3: Big Squig]
Get your education; it's very necessary
It can save you from jail or even the cemetery
Be smart; don't follow your friends
'Cause in the end, they laugh at independent men
Lucky me; finally face reality
Change then rearrange my life so I can be
A better person with a better way of living
Stop all the drama, going back and forth to prison
I got wise, opened my eyes and realized
I can't survive if my mind ain't made to strive
And do right and elevate two planes of height
And ignite and I must win in the fight, check it out!

[Hook]
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
As keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
I keep it going, Big Squig - you don't stop
So we can stand up for blocks and take it to the top
