[Chorus]
Fuck movin' backwards
We're pushin' forward
Yeah, we'll survive, we gon' thrive, this I know it
If I'm alive, Lord knows, I keep goin'
And even when I'm down bad, I never show it
Know it, know it, know it
Never judge a man by his current circumstances, never
Never ask a question if you don't really want the answers, never
Never show your motherfucking hand, n***a, never, never
Never throw the motherfucking towel in, never, never

[Verse 1]
Never once gave up on myself
Never once asked n***as for help
Never once claimed something I wasn't
Never once told hoes that I love 'em
Never once walked around with my hand out
Never once bite the fingers that feed ya
Never once veered away from my plan A
I just made a way, please believe me
It's easy to call it quits
It's easy to throw a fit
It's easy to sabotage yourself 'cause people not convinced
It's difficult to stay the course
It's difficult to see shit through
When the times get hard and you feel down bad
N***a, what is you gon' do?
When you really got shit to prove
And people depend on you
How you gon' feel when you come up short?
It's not that comfortable
You gon' let that pride you got inside get the best of you?
Never waste your time, better stay on that grind if you want a better view
Yes, it's true, all this bullshit happens for a reason
People change, people leave, they're like seasons
It's hard to see the bright side when you grievin'
To keep your head held high, it isn't easy shit
[Chorus]
Fuck movin' backwards
We're pushin' forward
Yeah, we'll survive, we gon' thrive, this I know it
If I'm alive, Lord knows, I keep goin'
And even when I'm down bad, I never show it
Know it, know it, know it
Never judge a man by his current circumstances, never
Never ask a question if you don't really want the answers, never
Never show your motherfucking hand, n***a, never, never
Never throw the motherfucking towel in, never, never

[Verse 2]
I know it gets worse and daily
Feelin' like you can't take it
Don't know how you'll make it
I know inside you vacant
It's hard to replace what you feel
Everyone in this world is takin'
Trials and tribulations
Shit can drive you crazy
I'm takin' time
For myself, I think I just need to unwind
I got too much on my motherfucking mind
I can't look back, I can't look back
I can't die and never once reach my full potential
Never once took no for an answer
Never once gave in to my fears
Never once gave a fuck 'bout expectations
Let me make it clear
Never once folded from the pressure
You can see that I'm still here
Never once thought this life was easy
We embrace it over here
Yeah
[Chorus]
Fuck movin' backwards
We're pushin' forward
Yeah, we'll survive, we gon' thrive, this I know it
If I'm alive, Lord knows, I keep goin'
And even when I'm down bad, I never show it
Know it, know it, know it
Never judge a man by his current circumstances, never
Never ask a question if you don't really want the answers, never
Never show your motherfucking hand, n***a, never, never
Never throw the motherfucking towel in, never, never
