never give up

Singer: mc chris

a 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!)

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!)

(you can never give up

you can never surrender

fight the good fight

'till the end of the night and

always remember.)

that you can never give up

never surrender!
