Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die

(Yeah, speak them facts)
Yeah, let me testify I'm still coming through
From the bottom of the gutter
I put my all into this, yo that's word to my mother
Fuck pageantry, I'm coming raw with the savagery
Addressing that cannibal mind that's trying to consume me
Get off of me
I'm trying to be the best that I can be
Take a seat, I'll take an evolutionary leap
Kick knowledge to the powerless
While you commence retreat
Let it be, take the L admit defeat

Let that boy speak
He bringing truth to the weak
Tell him

Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die
Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die

I told you before I don't break
But you looking at me like I got a target on my back
That shot you take
Here you go again trying to put me in my place
Let me remind you that man is a beast and not a waste
Question, how come you don't want to see me fly?
Why you tryna drag me in the ditch where the dead lie?
Why you wanna turn my body cold?
Deal me a shitty hand and then laugh when I fold

Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die
Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die

I won't give in
I won't lay down or die
Nah

When I speak, I'm tryna bring truth to the weak
Walk with my head up, defeat I always see
Creeping in the shadow of my periphery
I'm keeping all the leeches out of my vicinity
Always keep it a hundo so they cannot challenge me
Expanding on my vision, find the truth that I now seek
I've seen it all, I have swam against the current
I've been through the trenches, I've also felt worthless
I turn my back on the bottom
I can't quit, I elevate
I'm passing through all my limits

Now let that boy speak
He bringing truth to the weak
Tell him

Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die
Giving up ain't an option
I'm not built to collapse
But I'll take what I'm given
I won't lay down and die
