 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

To many people I'm many things
But never me and that's beginning to bare strain
My mothers hands, my father shoulders, my friends ears
I don't complain I just pretend I'm in the clear
I disappear when at my worst I hide in work
Owe my career to turning hurt into ideas
To persevere's a double edge I run ahead
Then double back cause what a fled still interferes
Two stepping off the pivot been a traveler

Before I was a passenger

My baggage was just adding up

Blowing up became a star but as it happened

Feared of getting 86ed any second like the challenger

I know enough how to hold a bluff when the goings 
tough

Feel like collapsing but hold it up for show and such

Wear many hats but no graduation to throw it up

All I know is clutch

All right baby, all right baby

Keep it moving, don't stop

Keep it moving, don't stop

All right baby, all right baby

Keep it moving, don't stop 

Keep it moving, don't stop

These are crazy times that we're living in

Adam probably said that after God created men

We retell the same sagas of our great fathers

Today ain't harder you just bothered by the same events

I feel my greatest attribute is why I'm lacking too

Free of opinions so I never learned to pack truth

Disagree with the consensus and they're after you

What comes after you

My experience and narrative a dissonance

Apparent if you listen there's an error

Try to skip it when I'm scared

My depiction paint it fairer

Can't resist a quick repair

Not a lie if you believe it

Won't admit when I'm embarrassed 

Never tried to be deceiving 

But my pride can be misleading

When you hide that you're depleted

People line up a share  

When they take an arm and leg I wonder if they see me bleeding

But they don't and I repeat what got me sewing what I wear

All right baby, all right baby

Keep it moving, don't stop

Keep it moving, don't stop

All right baby, all right baby

Keep it moving, don't stop 

Keep it moving, don't stop
