never give up

my nigga called me from the pen

just reminiscing

i want no money

just told me

just send him pictures

spent three

four years since he been gone

say he can't get none of the homies on the phone

he say

everybody switch on him

co defendant snitch on him

in and out the hole

got his mind playing tricks on him

say his main man took the stan

and made a statement

and his baby mama pregnant with another nigga baby

and his brother out here thuggin

sister out here tricking niggas

mama got diabetes

having problem with her kidney

and his granddaddy just died

and his grandma got cancer

keep calling this lawyer

but that bitch don't never answer

she posed to put in for a appeal

but it is what it is

he got seventeen years

he just tryna do his bid

but he never knew the world was so cold like this

when he down on his dick

nigga fold like this

i just let my nigga vent

let him talk his shit

told him i ain't forget you

i promise i been here with you

i just went to see your son

i just prayed for your mom

i've been going through shit to bro

you ain't the only one

i've been through some struggle in my life

i thought it had me

but i made it through

so many nights that i cried yes i cried

i'm so tired of this pain

but i could never give up

no i could never give up

and i keep fighting a thousand times

hundred thousand times again

hundred thousand times again

but i could never give up

no i could never give up

and i keep fighting a thousand times

hundred thousand times again

hundred thousand times again

two-thirty in the morning i'm just laying in the bed

just staring at the ceiling

while i'm smoking weed

thinking 'bout who gon' take care my kids if something was to happen to me in these

streets

but so many times i wanted to risk it all

who gon' pick up them pieces if a nigga fall

i think about my dead dawgs and them tears fall

they kill my dawg at the red light

did my little nigga like biggie smalls

from the city where the good die young

spend our life chasing bread

just to die over crumb

and these young niggas slanging that

big iron banging that

my 'hood need jesus

where the fuck kirk franklin at

cee-lo got shot and he was on his deathbed

but the whole world was worried about what kanye west said

fuck the intern

mr. west and mr. trump

fuck the politics

we going through real shit where i'm from

i've been through some struggle in my life

i thought it had me

but i made it through

so many nights i cried yes i cried

i'm so tired of this pain

but i could never give up

no i could never give up

and i keep fighting a thousand times

hundred thousand tines again

hundred thousand tines again

but i could never give up

no i could never give up

and i keep fighting a thousand times

hundred thousand times again

hundred thousand times again
