Never give up
Click to viewA regular arachnid,
back with the hat trick,
a rappin' maniac was a little rappin' fat kid,
now I pack venues
like they was a bowl,
microtrash, microblast, from my mighty microphone.
Rap for my mom's Bridge club,
back in the day,
at Bible camp I would rap
so maybe I could get laid,
backstage it was a blaze,
different days of rehearsal,
before I smoked the purple
with a circle of Urkles.
Took my rappin' to Manhattan,
where the motto's do or die,
didn't know a single soul,
and soon it's suicide,
I'm feelin' microscopic down on Madison Ave.,
I could jump from a window,
or in front of a cab,
then, mc chris arrives
said I'll surely survive,
if you feel like you can't function,
start shuckin' the jive,
don't drown in the sound
of your certain demise,
just be a different person if you're hurting inside.
(Never give up, never surrender,
I'm gonna pick you up like they did in Defender,
no shame in your game,
'cause your name ain't Ender,
never give up,
never surrender!)x2
Felt like I was weird,
like I didn't belong,
like I was broken and wrong,
and better off gone,
it's hard to see the future when the present tense is suckin',
it's hard to keep truckin' when you're stuck at loser junction.
You can't call it quits,
don't throw in the towel,
you can take a lot of licks,
so never listen to the owl,
don't listen to the pundits,
the haters or the critics,
you can suck my di-dick,
take a leap at Chappaquiddick,
the Chronicles of Riddick,
watched the movies and the credits,
wouldn't leave the theater
'cause I felt like I'd regret it,
the city was so big,
and frankly it wasn't feelin' right,
and besides I wanna find out who's the dolly grip on Demon Knight.
But then I met a friend and he kinda showed me music,
NOFX and MTX it mixed me up like Rubix,
I found a path and called it rap,
it helped me escape,
if you feel rotten and forgotten,
remember there'll be better days.
(Never give up, never surrender,
I'm gonna pick you up like they did in Defender,
no shame in your game,
'cause your name ain't Ender,
never give up,
never surrender!)x2
(You can never give up,
you can never surrender,
fight the good fight
'till the end of the night and,
always remember.)x4
That you can never give up,
NEVER SURRENDER!
