Never Give Up

And I'll sing My favorite rhythms And I'll sing The same motif The same blood Still flows through My veins that Flowed throughout My youth I was scared Started out a quiet kid No one cared It didn't matter anyway I was always angry I was never good enough Now I'm grown up Still not good enough Same skate Same fucked up black tee Knuckles bloodied up Same Friends New Enemies New songs New beats Old melodies New job New bills Same pain Inside of me I met my icons They're not icons anymore I press play the Soundtrack of 1994 California screaming in my ears Young love New friends Good times And better years And I'll sing My favorite rhythms And I'll sing The same motif The same blood Still flows through My veins that flowed Throughout my youth I remember the Look on your face And the holes In my shirt Where you ripped It away You fell back And laughed You can't force me to stay You gave me this Life just to Take it away I got a job and Gave up my dream Breaking my back for A corporate scheme Tried to save Up some cash It was taken away They say life's not fair It's a fucked up disgrace It's not right To tell me That you think Im crazy I tried not to argue Age eighteen I cracked and I punched you And I'll sing My favorite rhythms And I'll sing The same motif The same blood Still flows through My veins that Flowed throughout My youth
