Don't F***ing Quit

[Verse 1]

I'm overwhelmed by emotions, fuck all these sentimental shit

Like that night I was sitting down at the stairway, quiet minutes

With myself, alone with no-one else, reminiscing the cool shit I've done

But then I realised I ain't got too much of that shit.. Lack of fun

Lack of funds, lack of firepower in my word armoury.. Guns,

Cigarettes, but I'm glad I never started smoking, hallucinatin'

About the sex and the drugs, the power and the mighty thugs

In a way I was blessed, always well-informed 'bout the rags and rugs

Sometimes I gaze upon the stars at night and wonder naively

If I were one of the stars that were destined to shine brightly

Though I may not be the dopest of all lyricists you'll meet

I'm still gonna the productive citizen the society needs

And no i'm not being humble, I know the limits to my strengths

I was never born to do the sciences, or apply the stats in maths

I honestly used to be filled with thoughts of envy, jealousy

Seein' the kids around me, everyone doin' well except me

Disillusioned with life, I did think about givin' it all up

But something in life told me to look on da bright side, chins up

Took a few moments, a few moments too much, reflecting thru' life

Life, life on a whole.. Maybe it wasn't my fault.. This system ain't right..

[Hook]

Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up.. (x2)

(Yea you) don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up..

[Verse 2]

There's two possibilities when a dick doesn't fit a pussy

Or maybe the pussy doesn't fit the dick, obviously, you see

The system's flawed, everybody knows that unequivocally

But curiously nothing's been done to provide the remedy

All the talk 'bout reducing inequity and the income gap

Is like vacuum in a fuckin' bag, a concept you just can't grab

The media keeps tellin' us they implement the welfare

Then again I keep seein' people livin' in absolute despair

And the worse part of it all, you can't talk shit, yea keep your mouth shut

But you don't, and they repeat the same shit, havin' your message cut

Havin' your platform shut, "quiet and chew on your betel nut"

And fuckin' with more controversy in the form of cigarette butts

What the fuck, I only patriot if I serve national service?

Understand the need for equality, but whose interest is this?

Back to the days of monarchy authority hierachy,

You want me to think like a man, but behave like your pet monkey?

You can't have your cake and eat it man.. It's either this or that

You discourage multi-tasking, remember? It's as simple as that

So as I sing in tune and recall the moments I spit and rap

I teach myself to look thru' the loopholes and avoid the trap..

[Hook]

Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up..

(Yea you) don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up.. Don't give up..

[Outro]

People laugh and mock and scorn,yea they talk a lot and give that smirk

Fuckin' Asians, they don't understand the truth in my work..

It's a pity, 'black music' in they eyes, can't tell the truth from they lies

Rappin' in constellation, I'll shine the brightest, yea that'll be nice..
