NEVER

///*****/// [Intro – spoken/beat drop] Yeah… they thought we was done They counted us out… But the fire just got started LET'S GO! [Chorus / Hook] I can't stop, I won't stop, I'm risin' up now Crown on my head, I'm takin' it, bow down From the now to the end, I flipped every round They can hate, they can doubt, still I'm shinin' right now Can't stop! (NO!) Won't stop! (NEVER!) Rise up! (HIGHER!) We winnin' forever! Can't stop! (NO!) Won't stop! (NEVER!) The throne got my name on it — I'm comin' to get it! [Verse 1 – fast flow] Look, I came from the basement, roaches on the wall, Dreams bigger than the crib but the ceiling too small, Mama prayed in the dark while the lights stayed off, Now I'm pluggin' in the game, watch the voltage get raw, They laughed when I said it, called me crazy, delusional, Now they scrollin' through my story lookin' for the funeral, I turned pain to a pen, turned scars to a sermon, Every L was a lesson, every loss I was learnin', Sweat on the carpet, tears in the pillowcase, Doubt in the mirror but I stared in his face, Told that reflection "We done bein' second place" Now the future lookin' scared when it see my pace, I'm allergic to average, I'm immune to the fake, Got a heart made of iron and a soul full of flame, Every hater's a witness when I shatter the frame, They gon' post my success then delete what they said! [Chorus] I can't stop, I won't stop, I'm risin' up now Crown on my head, I'm takin' it, bow down From the now to the end, I flipped every round They can hate, they can doubt, still I'm shinin' right now Can't stop! (NO!) Won't stop! (NEVER!) Rise up! (HIGHER!) We winnin' forever! Can't stop! (NO!) Won't stop! (NEVER!) The throne got my name on it — I'm comin' to get it! [Verse 2 – even faster, double-time energy] I'm in beast mode, cheat code, reload, heat stroke, Every bar that I wrote got a pulse, Fire and the Smoke Spit venom so lethal they need antivenom just to quote, I’m the main character, y’all background extras in my show, They tried to bury me alive but forgot I’m a seed, So I bloomed through the concrete, now they beggin' for leaves, Got receipts for the nights I was cryin' on knees, Now my chain hit the light my flow stings like bees, I don’t do handouts, I snatch what was mine, Turned a "no" to a "yes" then I crossed every line, They said "stay in your lane" so I bought the whole highway, Now I’m doin' 200 while they stuck with no whip to ride away, Pressure make diamonds, well I’m pressure-cooked greatness, Every demon I fought left a scar for my statement, I’m the author, the architect, painter, the sculptor, The storm and the thunder, the king and the culture! [Bridge – half-time, powerful] They can take the money… They can take the fame… But they can’t take the hunger… And they can’t take my name… So keep swingin', keep prayin', keep grindin' through pain Cause the moment you quit is the moment they win Nah… we don’t do that here… [Final Chorus – huge, crowd chant energy] I CAN'T STOP! (NO!) I WON'T STOP! (NEVER!) RISE UP! (HIGHER!) WE WINNIN' FOREVER! I CAN'T STOP! (NO!) I WON'T STOP! (NEVER!) The throne got my name on it — I'M COMIN' TO GET IT! Yeah… We here. And we ain’t leavin'. RISE UP
