Never Give Up - KRS-One

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

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

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

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

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

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
