(Intro: Pharrell Williams)
It's the good life, the God life, the hood life
The truth life, the blue sky, it's the new light
(Verse 1: Slim)
I'm just a man on the mic
Tryna do what's right
Tryna make it through the night
And see tomorrow's light
I know I ain't perfect, but I'm workin' on it
Tryna be the best I can be, and not just talk about it
I know I'm not alone, there's others out there too
Who are tryna do the right thing, and make it through
(Chorus: Pharrell Williams & Kirk Franklin)
So let's not give up, let's keep on keepin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on movin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on pressin' on
Jesus is listenin', so let's keep on
(Verse 2: Slim)
I know sometimes it's hard, and things don't always go our way
But we can't give up, we gotta keep on prayin'
And keep on believin'
That God is good, and He's got a plan for us
And that He'll never leave us or forsake us
(Chorus: Pharrell Williams & Kirk Franklin)
So let's not give up, let's keep on keepin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on movin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on pressin' on
Jesus is listenin', so let's keep on
(Verse 3: Chad Hugo)
We keep the light goin' through the darkest of times
We won't give up; we're gonna take back the light
If there's a will there's a way
To reach out to the Lord and to hear Him say
He's real and if we believe, He will answer our call
When life gets cold and the temperature falls
Don't trip cause there's a God to keep it tropical
He's comin', get ready, stay ready, get all involved
(Chorus: Pharrell Williams & Kirk Franklin)
So let's not give up, let's keep on keepin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on movin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on pressin' on
Jesus is listenin', so let's keep on
(Bridge: Slim)
Yeah, so let's not give up, let's keep on keepin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on movin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on pressin' on
Jesus is listenin', so let's keep on
(Chorus: Pharrell Williams & Kirk Franklin)
So let's not give up, let's keep on keepin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on movin' on
Let's not give up, let's keep on pressin' on
Jesus is listenin', so let's keep on
(Outro: Pharrell Williams)
The sun will rise, it will shine for you
The sun will rise, it will shine for you
The sun will rise, it will shine for you
For Jesus is listenin'
