[Verse 1]
I worked too hard for this
I worked too hard to quit
And they ain't said I’m the best yet
Just ’cause they heard (?)
And next year came
But I was still here, but the Wretch knew
Uh-uh, the best newcomer
Wretch true, other than three-two
None of them seemed true
And I just sing on that
And the contracts are Santa Clauses
Merry Christmas, but whenever
Is this quite the prison
But I got the gift, I am the present
So when you unwrap my CDs
You’re unraveling history
And you’re traveling with me
As the hardest-working
Artist person that’s hardly earning
I’m two CDs past deserving
And like a man ought to
I’m gonna bring my family fortune
So I’m past conferring
I spit sick, music’s my descendant
Like Jesus Christ, I’m independent
I own my soul, approached my goals
I know my role
So don’t approach my throne
Or there’ll be hell to pay
‘Cause the heat’s still cheap
And expensive ways, intensive graves
I’ll lyrically end your page
And that’s literally meant in ways
I’m what's physically meant in great

[Chorus]
Have you ever been tired
Or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep on going
If you’ve ever retired just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire
I know it’s hard, dawg, but you don’t quit
No, you keep on going
Have you ever been tired, or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep going
You never retired, just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire, I know it’s hard, dawg
But you don’t quit, nah
You keep on going

[Verse 2]
Look, how can they say that the scene's dead
When I’ve had more weekdays
And two out of seven weekends
I grind, I’m great, my life’s about paper
I sleep on sheets, I breathe from trees
And eat off lines, I was so in the game
I held back and left my team on the side
The dream’s alive, cuh we can do this
In our sleep, but just ’cause
Music’s where the heart is
It don’t mean it makes me pleased
I don’t believe in make-believe
I’ma do whatever it takes
I’ma make this me, me, I’m so unique
So to speak, I make grime, so clean
So you see, I’m everything I’m
Supposed to be, supposedly
They work harder, but my son’s got the right
To say that I am the worst father
‘Cause I put all of my time in all of my rhymes
Each day I feel like I’m falling behind
But it’s all in the mind, so daily
I write, like, four different times
My endurance is high
My performance is light
Huh, the one thing that can’t be reformed in my life
I take it all in my stride
So not one thing and I’ll call it a night
There’s not one thing that’ll
Call this a night, sleep
Sleep is the cousin of death
And I don’t have any relatives
I promise you, I swear
I do not believe in quitting
Quitting is the biggest sin, now I’m gonna
Put everything I’ve got into this for everyone
Who’s ever supported me, I refuse
To leave or to give up, I swear
I will die the best, and I will be singing

[Chorus]
Have you ever been tired
Or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep on going
If you’ve ever retired just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire
I know it’s hard, dawg, but you don’t quit
No, you keep on going
Have you ever been tired, or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep going
You never retired, just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire, I know it’s hard, dawg
But you don’t quit, no
You keep on going, nah
Have you ever been tired
Or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep on going
If you’ve ever retired just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire
I know it’s hard, dawg, but you don’t quit
No, you keep on going
Have you ever been tired, or ever got fired
But just had the strength to keep going
You never retired, just keep on going
If your blood’s still flowing, keep on going
You never retire, I know it’s hard, dawg
But you don’t quit, no
You keep on going, nah
