Lyrics Never Give Up - Def Davyne

I been down, cuz life's been rough
Thought I found love, then I got fucked
Yeah I been around the country and I still felt stuck
But I never gave up, I'm a never give... up

Never had a silver spoon, more like plastic utensils
Cuz everything was temporary, why my past had me mental
Always me, versus me, tryna match my potential
But in order to really do that you see cash was essential
Some things I'd like to erase, like the back of a pencil
Tough times I had to face, why my swagger is gentle
Homelessness I had a taste, but you won't catch me avengeful
Cuz karma's not my place and revenge, it comes back to you 10 fold

Yeah
It's better to better yourself
This a reminder to check on ya health
Cuz yes it can get ya to wealth
But stress is like jail a weapon of hell
Begging for death, the cells in ya body in prison cells
They'll never get bail
Friendly reminder take care of ya mind
Or you're destined to fail, I'm getting you well
Yeah
It's better to better yourself
This a reminder to check on ya health
Cuz yes it can get ya to wealth
But stress is like jail a weapon of hell
Begging for death, the cells in ya body in prison cells
They'll never get bail
Friendly reminder take care of ya mind
Or you're destined to fail, I'm getting you well

I been down, cuz life's been rough
I thought I found love, then I got fucked
Yeah I been around the country and I still felt stuck
But I never gave up, I'm a never give up
I been down, cuz life's been rough
I thought I found love, then I got fucked
Yeah I been around the country and I still felt stuck
But I never gave up, I'm a never give... up

Been down on my luck and I'm feeling so stuck
But never gave up, I'll never give up
Been down on my luck and I'm feeling so stuck
But never gave up, I'll never give up
Been down on my luck and I'm feeling so stuck
But never gave up, I'll never give up
Been down on my luck
But never give up

Fortune favors the bold, and I'm out here breaking the mold
Taking negative flow, reverse it, change it and grow
No mistaking me tho, still came to make me some dough
With the aim of a pro, and veteran game like a coach

Choke on marijuana smoke instead of my pride I'm high
Moving forward even, when I'm walking slow and dying inside
Knowing that I ain't, really broke
Just cause my pockets low, watch me grow
No obstacles can stop my flow, so sorry I gotsta go

I been down, cuz life's been rough
I thought I found love, then I got fucked
Yeah I been around the country and I still felt stuck
But I never gave up, I'm a never give up
I been down, cuz life's been rough
I thought I found love, then I got fucked
Yeah I been around the country and I still felt stuck
But I never gave up, I'm a never give... up

You'd think I stay up in college, the way I've paid for this knowledge
Cuz ignorance is bliss but listen without faith I'd be Godless
Why I pray for honesty and all it takes to acknowledge
That I am him and he is me, and we both made out of comets
Never did it for the fame, still I made a few fans
Never did it for the money, still I made a few grand
Didn't do it for friendship, but I been in a few bands
Made some solid connections and even shook a few hands, yeah

Knowing that this is my destiny
And God he done gave me the recipe
This feeling inside me so heavenly
A failure I swear I could never be
Knowing that I am my only real enemy
Still I feel like I been battling 10 of me
Living in poverty takes so much energy
Away from the prophet I'm meant to be
I'm sure that I'll profit eventually
Before my dead grand mama send for me
Cuz ain't no one matching my pedigree
Soul is like ivory, body like ebony
My voice it be soothing like ketamine
Me being slept on the crime of the century
Fire inside of me glowing in effigy
Going to heaven, if I ever leave
