Lord Jamar - Givin' Up lyrics

Givin' up... is hard to do (3x) When youuuuuuu, givin' up someone (Lord Jamar) Yo, maybe I should rhyme about guns and crack Then I might sell like tons of stacks Sometimes I tell myself, f** the truth "But it's just no use" sh**, I can rhyme about b**hes and cars I even tried switching my bars I said righteous rap is dead to make an excuse, but "No I can't break loose" Sometimes I think about leaving again Already accomplished in leaving a name Maybe I should just go out with a bang "But it's just no use" I can't do it, my love for black people's too strong Rhymed with a purpose for too long I'm afraid I'mma gon' have to refuse "No I can't break loose" Givin' up... is hard to do (3x) When youuuuuuu, givin' up someone (Lord Jamar) They tried to offer me platinum and diamonds Anything to make me stop rhyming They went through great lengths to try to seduce "But it's just no use" Cause I, can't be bought, I can't be sold I'm understanding God, I can't be old Some people just can't be told "No I can't break loose" Somebody gotta be the voice of reason Especially when it's k**ing season We trying to close the wound, the blood is perfused "But it's just no use" Penetentiary steel, we got centuries At bedtime, doing fed time I'mma have to get my sentence reduced "No I can't break loose" Givin' up... is hard to do (3x) When youuuuuuu, givin' up someone
