SPECIAL GUEST VOCAL SAMPLE BY SEAN’S MOM CATHLEEN

Keep goin’, a little voice in my head said When mamma said
“Go to the city, my boy, go knock ‘em out’
She never meant I should come here to be an ass licking sellout
There’s no doubt you wanna put me in your pigeon box and say “Sean rocks!”
So you can make sense of your world and see if I’m part of it or not
But I can’t be what you think I should be, Mr Music Industry
I don’t even know if I’m a character in my songs or if it’s really me
Sometimes I feel like singin’, sometimes rappin’, I still get the feet tappin’
I got industry playas crapping, keeping me down is energy sappin’
It pisses you off that I’ve got friends like Mark and Egor Kalmykov
Together we create the magic and do things others only dream of
I never thought it was gonna be this tough to deal with all your silly stuff
But music is my life, so I could never get enough yeah

CHORUS

Keep Goin’ Keep Goin’ Sean Keep Goin’
A little voice in my head said
Keep Goin’ Keep Goin’ Sean Keep Goin’
A little voice in my head said
I’m gonna keep on keepin’ on
You wanna see tears in my eyes, see me be shy, see me die, see me fry
Eat humble pie, shrivel up and hung out to dry
‘Cause I’m too in your face, I burn like mace, sensitive to the Coloured race
Critics give chase and label my work a disgrace
Who died and made you the bearer of bad news with cliches overused
You milked me dry but when I needed your help you refused
You don’t even know musical chords but you judge who gets the awards
Actin’ like entertainment lord
Behind the scenes you pull strings and cords
Digest this while I take a pause
I feel used and abused and so many of you stand accused
When you needed me I was there for you
When I needed you, you were amused
When you were sleepin’ on cold floors I opened those new doors
How soon you forgot how I fought so hard for your cause
I ain’t mentioning no names I’m sure you know who you are
You’ll be beggin’ me to forgive you and cover you with feathers and tar
For now you’re the star but I knew you before you had that flashy car
And I’ll still have the last laugh Ah Ha Ah Ha ‘cause I’m gonna go far

REPEAT CHORUS

So many times I’d be sittin’ here thinkin’ about quitin’
But I never learnt the skill to be twice shy when once bitten
The longer the struggle goes on I’ll just keep gettin’ stronger
I’m sellin’ the real deal to all you player hatin’ fishmongers
You can prohibit my exhibits every time I submit it
But soon you’ll be livid ‘cause you’ll be forced to re-admit it
Standing at the crossroads this is your path, you chose it
And history will mark you as one of those who opposed it
Yeah
