Tony Kinsey - DON'T GIVE UP
I done had my share of issues in my lifeI've been mistreated depleted broke down defeated
Heart broke abused got played like peoples fool
Only thing that kept me going was my faith and this mic as my tool
Kept grinding cause I know I got a gift
But the weight on my shoulders 20 cranes couldn't lift
I went through court crisis homeless crisis food crisis
One or two vises plenty sacrifices
Then the rain came along with the haters
Still I'm on the humble serving smiles like a waiter
Can't let em see me crumble even though I got the blues
Thinking bout what Jay-Z said I will not lose
And I will not give and I will not quit
And what people think about me is irrelevant
And there was times I felt like I was out of luck
But then my heart kept telling me don't give up
Don't give up don't you give up
Don't give up don't you give up don't give up
And it was more of the same thing
I'm praying for a blessing as I'm fighting just to maintain
I kept falling but I knew I had a calling
So I took out my frustration while I'm on the court balling
Yeah my way of dealing with the stress
See looking at my life was like looking at a mess
Humble in my walk but not the one you wanna test
Cuz underneath this shirt I got a "S" on my chest
Yeah and that's as real as it's gon get
I'm looking at these rappers like why would I ever quit
It's evident that my music stands alone
That's because I always put my heart in every song
And leave it all on the track
I done been to rock bottom and I ain't going back
So even when depression hit me hard like a truck
Everybody kept telling me don't give up
Don't give up don't you give up
Don't give up don't you give up don't give up
We all got our goals in life so stand strong
The world ain't gonna end if something goes wrong
If plans get changed or if doors get closed
If you have faith in you confidence grows
And see that confidence shows
And where you might go from there only GOD knows
Map out your goals and try to stay focused
Cuz ain't no quick fix and can't buy a magic potion
It's hard work and dedication
Results might come slow so you gotta have some patience
And when you get there you know it wasn't luck
Because you stuck to one simple rule don't give up
Don't give up don't you give up
Don't give up don't you give up don't give up
