[verse 1]
ain’t no jobs in my city so i gotta leave it
i’m broke and having mood swings, my girl’s about to leave me
i know where the money’s at, but it’s four hours away
if i’m gon’ do it then i gotta do it, can’t make excuses today
pulled up at a walmart in the auto section (get an oil change)
they showed me i have an oil leak so i’m stressin’ (man d*mn)
f*ck it, change it anyway i’m getting the h*ll up outta here
success comes with struggle and pain and with that you can’t have no fear because
[chrous]
just when i’m on my way up, i fall right back down
but i can’t let it overflow me or i’ll f*ck around and drown
i keep pushing pass my limits, i’ma make a way for myself
just when i feel like giving up, i just keep telling myself
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
[verse 2]
four hours later i get a job the same day
then went and hollered at the homie cause with him, he said i can stay
weeks later homie’s depressed over p*ssy and sh*t
smoking and falling asleep and plus his place is dirty as sh*t
it’s f*cking with my mental that i’m working overtime
i don’t even come to the crib until it’s night time
fast forward four months my car messes up
and now i’m on a plane back to mississippi, mane this sh*t is f*cked up
[chrous]
just when i’m on my way up, i fall right back down
but i can’t let it overflow me or i’ll f*ck around and drown
i keep pushing pass my limits, i’ma make a way for myself
just when i feel like giving up, i just keep telling myself
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
don’t you give up motherf*cker, don’t give up
[verse 3]
my car was the shop for two months and i was scared to drive for two
so that’s four months i was out of action because of my pride dude
but i’m back at it, on the road again, starting a new job
but this time i’m staying with another partna, his girl, and two pre*teens
my partna has an addiction, he can’t go a day without drinking
he gets paranoid and starts tweeking and his girl he’s mistreating
and i feel bad for the two kids cause this sh*t they gotta witness
as a matter of fact, i’m doing this song right now while he’s crying over some dumb sh*t
my mama’s hitting my phone saying something ain’t right
and i’m not even replying back because i know that she’s right
but i’ma push through this sh*t because i know my potiential
i got goals that i wanna accomplish and real targets to hit
i’m not gonna let these hurddles slow me down, i’m going kaioken
and if push comes to shove, i’m going to super saiya*jin
i should’ve took my ass home when i initially planned
but then one conversation made sh*t hit the fan
[interlude]
[post interlude]
all that happened the day before my birthday
now i’m back in the sip
sad, don’t know which way to turn
finna lose my good ass paying job
the plan that i had to estasblish myself
h*ll naw, i can’t give up like this dawg
[verse 4]
it’s tuesday morning, 2am and i’m on the road
just hit the natchez trace, three hours and forty minutes to go
get to work at 6am and do my ten hour shif
it was two hours afer work when reality hit
i’m using resturants for a/c because my car doesn’t have the sh*t
i’m taking hoe baths at my job, using water out the sink
i could’ve got an hotel but i don’t feel like dealing with bed bugs
because my brother brought em to the house and had everybody and everything f*cked up
my coworkers are looking at me like “d*mn, you look like h*ll.”
so i told them what was going on and they said “d*mn, you going through h*ll.”
they donated money to me
a team lead got me a room
even though i had that, i was still on the hunt for apartments or a room
it’ll be a month and a half before everything is open
i forgot school is about to start so everything is being taken over
so, i’m airbnb*ing places (uh)
seeing and greeting new faces (yea)
get ready for work and my fuel pump goes out again (f*ck)
50 dollars for a lyf ride for two days in a row
i had to do what i had to do, but still had a job though
three fuel pumps in one year and i keep on pushing bro
took my weekend trip back to the sip to rejevenate the flow
monday morning is here, two am, you already know
turn the ignition switch and my car won’t even start no more
two days later, i find out my mama’s behind the on the rent
comtemplating decisions, f*ck it, ain’t n0body taking sh*t
got my mama’s car and when right back to nashville
i’ma make it happen, even if i have to rob and k!ll
but luckliy i still had a job, still getting that cake
but it wasn’t coming fast enough
i gotta make something shake
getting poked with needles, donating plasma, now the money’s coming faster
so focused on this bullsh*t, i forgot i was a rapper
made this beat at starbucks while drinking on an expresso
now i’m recording this song, i’ve turned my mama’s car into a studio
so the moral of this song is to keep on roillin, never give up
i’m traveling and renting rooms every week, so what
risks have to be taken in life and i’m a hardy boy
life can keep knocking down but i’ma continue to climb that ladder boy
[outro]
jinny, jinny
wooo, mafia
