Let me testify I'm still coming true from 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 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 em 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
