Never Give Up Lyrics - Spiritual Minded - Krs One

Metaphysical style, spiritual style, the ORIGINAL style, ha 

Yes.. let's do it 

[Chorus] 

you can never give up, you should never give up 

you can never give up, we can never give up 

you can never give up, you can never give up 

you should never give up, we can never give up, you can never give up 

Yeah, yeah 

Y'all don't really know about the KRS rap 

Y'all don't really about why we stay trapped 

Y'all don't really know hip-hop ain't rap 

But let me tell you how we can get it all back 

First realize givin up is wack 

Say to yourself I can never be wack 

Then realize that we must go back 

And the reason you can't seem to get on track 

is you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain 

You, keep, buying, HOES, all y'all know my name 

And how I get down and move around 

I've already been to the proving ground 

In conscious rap, who rule the sound 

The question is are you down? 

[Chorus] 

Look - KRS-One, I've learned already 

Everything they doin is temporary 

No matter how big you live 

You still the creation of a music executive 

And when you get old no matter what you did 

They throw you away and they pimp your kid 

Yeah kids, on the TV whylin 

You know why we got racial profilin? 

Cause you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain 

You, keep, buying, HOES, all y'all know my name 

So there in the future we'll look back 

And then we will see we were under attack 

But it'll be too late, the loss'll be too great 

You'll see, just wait! 

[Chorus] 

C'mon, c'mon, yeah c'mon 

You see how they shuttin down KRS-One 

Cause I'm not sexy, thuggin or dumb 

Ask yourself 

Why they only promotin criminal activity and nothin else? 

On the videos and on the radio 

Teachin our kids which way to go 

And the way that they tell our kids to go 

If you listen, heads right straight to prison 

While you, keep, buying, HOES, simple and plain 

You, keep, buying, HOES, y'all better peep the game 

You got to release that temptation 

Get a brand new affirmation 

Your life is what you make 'em 

Peace, salaam alaikum 

[Chorus]
