Never Gave Up Songtext

I met bro'nem out of town and made a movement on the south
Got shit cracking, we was trappin
Strapped and packing like a pouch
Hit the road and risked my freedom if we ever saw a drought
All while hustling with my brothers
Had to seek another route
Found a way to clean my slate, cause I know I control my fate
Made sure all my n****s ate and told em all we gone be straight
Went from hustling, moving weight
Now we touring state to state
When y'all hate I don't debate
No need to argue bout what's great
I never quit now I see chips off all these features and these shows
I been down a couple times, I never gave up like D Rose
I was getting it on my own, never cried about no help
Hammer on me don't get nailed
You know I'm strapped up like a belt
I know what it's like to fail
Had a few run-ins with twelve
Sat in cells, been through hell Only through God can we prevail

Squad, I never gave up on my team no
Put faith in God I never gave up on my dream no
These haters mad cause our faces on the screen
And we racing to the green
I go crazy for my team
2x
Squad

See I been on my knees thanking God
Reality ain't what you see from outside
I been struggling but hustling to even out the odds
Cause it seems a felon tatted up ain't worthy of a job
And even though I got kids precious mouths to feed
The devil try to hold me down but I'm devout to lead
Don't doubt the King
God blessed me with an Alpha team
Although I had a destiny to fly without the wings
No Dad, family issues left a scar now
Remember when my old teacher used to talk down
But even then I had the light, I'm just a star now
And you can see it in they face, they hating hard now
But I just keep my wings up and my faith so high
In the name of the Son imma break that tied
It ain't no way but up when you aim like mine
Never gave up, always stayed down for my

Squad, I never gave up on my team no
Put faith in God I never gave up on my dream no
These haters mad cause our faces on the screen
And we racing to the green
I go crazy for my team
2x
Squad
