Neva Give Up

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey yo Blue, let's hit 'em in the head Hey yo, to all my fam you know what I'm sayin'? Cause I love all of y'all [Verse] I remember back in the day My family went all out to get paid 127 Wyckoff Street (Brooklyn baby) Where we never got sleep Peeps hustling dope and leak Abuela kept her havana [?] on the stove And a hot loaf of bread from Cross Street Bakery With the bomb busted cakey The whole fam had a gangsta role Abuelo and Tia always in a number hole, gamblin' And all my cousins out battlin' and scramblin' And some of them lived with us We would laugh, cry, sing, and fuck together For better or for worse Through sickness and thirst Actin' up in Church But we still made God first So I pray that we stay tight in a loving way No matter how hard it get keep ya head up And never give up [Chorus] Never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up [Verse] Wondering who wake next, fam tense Hustlin' and strugglin' to pay bills And daddy van never made it up hills But it took the whole fam to the lagos Where we had barbecues and [?] Penny tacos And my aunts would have us hangin' out late Even took us out on dates Kept us in handball courts Listenin' to music of all sorts But y'all die for them show oldies Sippin' on Copa, wiser forties, a bunch of locas While pops and uncle be thumpin' on congas Throw up, from too much Bacardi And just when the party got lively You know there had to be a fight Damn, who fuckin' up the night? Let's keep it tight, and never give up [Chorus] Never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up Never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up [Verse] Rest in peace to my cousins Christina and little Jackie The biggest tragedy that had the whole family Memories don't live like people do We'll always 'member you Now we all grown Strugglin' to maintain happy homes Some of us keep in touch And some of us don't give a fuck Stuck on crack, dope and alcohol I hope God forgive and help all of y'all I always say a prayer, and light candles For my cousins, cause I love 'em You better call me, when you need me And let me know that you love me and miss me Stay fully aware and never be scared Of life's trials and tribulations Keep a tight foundation You the next generation To come up, hey yo cuzzo, never give up [Chorus] Never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up And never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up [Outro] Yeah, yeah, 1997 Deranged father Hurricane G No lie [Chorus] Never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up And never give up your hopes Never give up your dreams Never give up no matter how hard it seems Life is a dream in itself, which should be sought not bought So yo, keep your head up
