This song just reflects the things I been through and how I'm still doin' what I do despite what people have said to me.
Story behind the song
I just started thinking about how I graduated and I'm going off to college, and then my mom contacted me who I hadn't seen since I was eleven and I got motivated to rap about this. Check it out it's real hott.
Lyrics
Just Move On (12)
By Lil Shay
There’s a time in your life
Where you got to know, to stand up for what is right
And move on
Growin’ up as a kid, was kinda hard, but now you see I made it far because I left the hood,
and prayed to God,
and even though it wasn’t lookin’ good.
I had to have faith, and let my heart know what it was to keep goin’.
Now look at me, before this, want nothin’ clean yeah man you know how it can be. Pause
Yeah Only 1 parent there, What! So little food to share, Two kids to care
Beef between the parents every-freaken-where
Richmond California, a whole lot went down there.
There’s a time in your life
Where you got to know, to stand up for what is right
And move on
‘Cause livin’ bum low, don’t mean that your bumb low
You can do anything you wanna do
Talk: So now I’m gonna tell you this story
Had a low self esteem, people tellin’ me I wouldn’t be
Apple don’t fall far from the tree
Wanted to be white
Had dark skin no that wasn’t right
Wait wait take a back a minute here
Had pretty skin, long hair, pretty eyes
No idea what’s inside
Listened what they had to say
There was no future, said there was no way
There’s a time in your life
Where you got to know, to stand up for what is right
