Keep It Real Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You dream of a day when the songs that you play
Are blasting through the speakers in your car
Then it comes in a flash and you hear the crowd
Screaming out your name for the encore

[Chorus]
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real?
Hold on tight, don't you dare let go
Now's the time to let the whole world know
You can shine bright, but still keep it real

[Verse 2]
Who could know that you'd be on the road
Selling out the tickets to your show?
When you're home, you're still the one
You were before you left to go on tour

[Chorus]
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real? Yeah
Hold on tight, don't you dare let go
Now's the time to let the whole world know
You can shine bright, but still keep it real
[Bridge]
Did you ever think your dreams (Would become a reality? Whoa)
All you did was just believe

[Verse 3]
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real?
Yeah

[Chorus]
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real?
Hold on tight, don't you dare let go
Now's the time to let the whole world know
You can shine bright, but still keep it real

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
