I Won't Give Up



I've Been Down Bad,
I'm Talking About All The Way Down & Even The People That I Love Stopped Coming Around.
Staying Up Late At Night With Suicidal Thoughts In My Head
Trust Issues & Pain So Tears I Always Shed
A Smile On My Face But Inside I'm So Dead
Some Days I Couldn't Even Eat But I Always Made Sure My Family Got Fed
Every Night I Get Down On My Knees & Ask God Can He Save Me
Sometimes I Feel Like I Want To Die But I Gotta Live For My Family
So I Always Open Up The Bible & Read The Script Inside
Every Time That I Read It It Brings Tears To My Eyes
Cause It Always Gives Me Faith To Live & Not Die
Then I Tell Myself Get Up
Sometimes I Get A Little Stressed When Things Get A Little Tough
I Gotta Stay On My Grind Cause I Know I'm Gone Shine
I Gotta Get It By Myself Until The World Is Mine
So Whenever I Have A Bad Day & I Start To Stressing
I Just Remind Myself That Every Day That I'm Alive Is A Blessing
& I Just Thank God Because It Could Be Worse
When I Seen My Sister Dead Body I Cried Tears Cause It Hurts
& I Know That I'm Not Always Following The Guidelines
But I'm Just Trying Tell My Story Cause Now It's My Time
I Gotta Stay Strong & Keep My Head Up & Even When I Hit Rock Bottom I Won't Give Up
