Never Give Up |
| Gather 'round, gather 'round, ha |
| Metaphysical style, spiritual style, the ORIGINAL style, ha |
| Yes. |
| let’s do it |
| — you can never give up, you should never give up |
| — you can never give up, we can never give up |
| — you can never give up, you can never give up |
| — you should never give up, we can never give up, you can never give up |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Y’all don’t really know about the KRS rap |
| Y’all don’t really about why we stay trapped |
| Y’all don’t really know hip-hop ain’t rap |
| But let me tell you how we can get it all back |
| First realize givin up is wack |
| Say to yourself I can never be wack |
| Then realize that we must go back |
| And the reason you can’t seem to get on track |
| Is you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain |
| You, keep, buying, HOES, all y’all know my name |
| And how I get down and move around |
| I’ve already been to the proving ground |
| In conscious rap, who rule the sound |
| The question is are you down? |
| w/ minor variations |
| Look — KRS-One, I’ve learned already |
| Everything they doin is temporary |
| No matter how big you live |
| You still the creation of a music executive |
| And when you get old no matter what you did |
| They throw you away and they pimp your kid |
| Yeah kids, on the TV whylin |
| You know why we got racial profilin? |
| Cause you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain |
| You, keep, buying, HOES, all y’all know my name |
| So there in the future we’ll look back |
| And then we will see we were under attack |
| But it’ll be too late, the loss’ll be too great |
| You’ll see, just wait! |
| w/ minor variations |
| C’mon, c’mon, yeah c’mon |
| You see how they shuttin down KRS-One |
| Cause I’m not sexy, thuggin or dumb |
| Ask yourself — |
| — why they only promotin criminal activity and nothin else? |
| On the videos and on the radio |
| Teachin our kids which way to go |
| And the way that they tell our kids to go |
| If you listen, heads right straight to prison |
| While you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain |
| You, keep, buying, HOES, y’all better peep the game |
| You got to release that temptation |
| Get a brand new affirmation |
| Your life is what you make 'em |
| Peace, salaam alaikum |
| w/ minor variations |
