Don't Give Up
Embracing Life's Challenges: A Song's Wisdom
Lyrics
Don't give up the time is right
Encouragement not to abandon hope as the opportune moment is present
Take a chance before you lose your sight
Advocating seizing opportunities before losing the ability to perceive or experience
Take a stand young man
Encouraging a young man to take a firm position or stand
It's plain to see
It's evident or obvious
Live your life be free and be who you want to be
Live your life freely and authentically as you desire
Don't give up without a fight
Emphasizing not surrendering without putting up a struggle
Take control the time is right
Seize control as the timing is right
Smoke it down then you drink it up
Indulge in substances (smoking, drinking)
Say hey bartender can you fill my cup
Requesting a bartender to fill a cup with a drink
As time goes by it starts to take it's toll
Over time, the toll of life becomes apparent
You feel the weight on your shoulder's beginning to grow old
Feeling the burden of responsibilities and age
Free all of the doubt right from you mind
Release doubts from the mind
And keep your head down boy and stay steady on the grind
Remain focused and consistent in your efforts
And wear your heart with pride
Show your emotions and vulnerability proudly
Well I've been up now baby
Experienced both highs and lows in life
And I've been down
Experienced adversity and success
Ain't been too far mama but you know
Not ventured extensively, but have gained varied experiences
But you know I've been around
Have encountered different situations and circumstances
The games in life we play don't mean nothing to me
Life's games or struggles hold no significance
You must be mistaken thinking I'm too blind to see
Addressing misunderstanding or underestimation
Keep your cool now
Remain composed despite circumstances
Don't let them use you for their fool
Caution against being manipulated or taken advantage of
Hear what I say baby
Highlighting the world's potential harshness
I tell you this ol' world can be cruel
Expressing the world's potential cruelty
Find you a woman with some lovin' don't forget about your friends
Advice to find a loving partner and maintain friendships
Find the ones that gonna be there
Identifying reliable and supportive friends
Love you till the end
Emphasizing lasting affection and loyalty
As time goes by it starts to take it's toll
Reiteration of the toll time takes on life
You feel the weight on your shoulders beginning to grow old
Continued aging and feeling the weight of responsibilities
Free all of that doubt right from your mind
Emphasis on dispelling doubts from the mind
And keep your head down boy and stay steady on the grind
Continue to persevere steadfastly
And wear your heart with pride
Show your emotions and vulnerability with pride
