Never Give Up
[Chorus: Pepe ]
The first time I fell in love to headphones on a bus
I made a promise to myself I'll hold ya second to none
I gave my soul and my voice and my faith and my trust
And through it all I found the only thing I never give up
All those times I question, thinking I was never enough
I made a promise to myself I'll hold ya second to none
I swear I sacrificed it all for the sake of your love
And through it all I found the only thing I never give up

[Verse 1: Wilson]
When it feels like the very first time
Should I ever hear my mom say
"My boy I'm proud of you" for all that work just to get on
And I know times are looking bleak
So she it knew all along
All those flights back and forth
Every week when I'd be gone
As a child I would smile just listening to this song
Finally form with style to infinity and beyond
Trying to minimize my movement
Limit me like a pawn
They criticizing my music
You fucking kidding me dog?
It's more than living a job
Understand I really love my sound
These fuck boys ain't plugged in with that new drug in town
I think your favourite rappers just gave ya'll the run around
Like are ya'll really still turning up when ya coming down?
You fucking clowns neck deep for the fame and riches
Watch em dodge jaded kisses from these shady bitches
Fuck a stat, ya'll can judge me by my makes and misses
For me it's hard to clean the kitchen without breaking dishes
[Chorus: Pepe]
The first time I fell in love to headphones on a bus
I made a promise to myself I'll hold ya second to none
I gave my soul and my voice and my faith and my trust
And through it all I found the only thing I never give up
All those times I question, thinking I was never enough
I made a promise to myself I'll hold ya second to none
I swear I sacrificed it all for the sake of your love
And through it all I found the only thing I never give up

[Verse 2: Wilson]
See I get ghost when I smoke all the different types
We so close, make a toast, thinking this the life
That west coast ocean mist like a kiss goodnight
She hold on for so long 'till I miss my flight
I love you now but you were hated at first
You probably just figured out how these relationships work
If Tom's missing long distance, don't be blaming this verse
Those phone calls get broke off 'cuz you just making it worse
Hearing perfect hundred million dollar flows through the cheapest mikes
Watching restless days creeping into sleepless nights
Up recording in the morning 'till I see the light
Call it my photosynthesis feeding these seeds of life
Fruits of labour seamen right [?], but I'mma need a knife
So even if the money tight we gonna be aight
Ain't no stopping as we're hopping on this plane now
'Cuz only when I'm getting high do I break down
[Verse 3: Pepe]
Since I was twelve years old I swore I'd never give up
I got that fire make the whole world listen to us
I get a rush when I'm standing on stage with a mike
This for the ones who listen in to every page of my life
I spit my truth for the lost souls destitute
Find strength in what I'm saying, fuck if I'm impressing you
Don't you ever let a critic get the best of you
'Cuz they could never move the world thats the truth
Maybe God's testing you
Make you second guess what you was destined to
It's up to you to come to the conclusion if it's meant to be
If the words you're writing now will affect the next century
Can't let this cynicism redirect your energy
Maybe it's 'uness and we the ones who choose our destiny
Either way it ain't a choice for me I'm still gonna bless the beat
Make you raise eyebrows, think twice, press repeat
'Cuz when I killed the game, the only time I could rest in piece
