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
