Verse 1
This dream I'm chasing has me loosing sleeping, ironic ain't it?
As a kid it used to seem so simple, now its complicated
You know I hate to ask for help, please don't make me say it
I'm already laying in the bed I made, I wouldn't trade it
Even if the other side was sunny, and I'de play with Wade
My heart could use some first aid, but that sh** could wait
For now I keep it closed, music is my only date
Im making love, but my flow never comes late
Instead I'm giving birth thats not measured by the weight
Its measured by the greatness but its bearing both my names
And on this track, I loose my clothes, Im all exposed
So please be kind I know the way it goes, when the wind blows
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
God can you hear me? Please let me know I'm not alone
And even though he doesn't answer, I feel I have clarity
I look up to the sky and I know he's taking care of me
Hook X2
Never give it up, Never give it up
When the road gets tough, I'll never give it up
If theres something that you love and you just can't get enough
Don't you give it up, give it up
Verse 2
They say the saddest thing is wasted talent, and for that
I'm living like a college student way past undergrad
This ain't no text book sh**, I'm mastering my craft
The bills are piling up, and I don't want to do the math
Writing under stress, every song a thousand drafts
So I'm rolling up a blunt, just to have a couple laughs
But the high fades, and its me with this blank page
I still got a block up, I'm still at that beginner stage
But just wait cause day by day thats ganna change
And all the rain and all the hate will wash away
Till only I remain
Someone warned me bout the game, but I'm not worried
Its always been inside of me, I gatta tell my story
And I'm not afraid to bear it all, My secrets lie in lyrics
I'll scarifies myself, just so you can hear it
Many have the talent, but few have the perseverance
I got it all, f** who ever don't believe it
Hook X2
Never give it up, Never give it up
When the road gets tough, I'll never give it up
If theres something that you love and you just can't get enough
Don't you give it up, give it up
Interlude
Sometimes I feel like I keep ending up in the same place
Like I'm running in circles
But if I learned anything in life
It's that hard work really does pay off
And if you want something, I mean if you really want something
You can't just sit around and wait for it
You f**ing gatta take it, yea
Verse 3
To anyone that has a dream, this song was made for you
To all the artists trying to break through
To the people that were told, that they were way too old
To make it, darling break the mold, don't give it up
To the ones that don't care about the wealth, they just want their health
Keep fighting, you never needed any help
To all the single moms and dads who put their needs last
And the teachers who put truth in the cla**
Those kids grow up fast, man make that impression last
Make them wanna pa** instead of talking back
This is for anyone thats locked up
Man use that time wisely, don't act like your all f**ed up
I believe in all of you, do you believe in me?
That's what keeps us going, we are free and in control
Don't let the world tell you where you gatta go
Follow your heart and you'll never sell your soul
