Giving Up

[Intro]

Huh..yeah
This that..
This music for for your soul
Zane Smith
Real music for real people
Yeah!

[Hook 1x]

Sometime I feel like giving up
I put in work
But it never seem to be enough
I be trying
Cause I really wanna live it up
I said I wanna live it up
But hoping ain't enough

[Verse 1]

Not sure if I should give this up
Aw man, I just really wanna live it up
Told me hurry up
Get them pesos andale
Got no time to waste
Got no time to play
Imma die any day
Quitting ain't in DNA
What I hate is acting fake, showing face
Just to make bread
What we'll do to get ahead
Wishing I was dead
You heard what I said
Living ain't easy
Life is hard
They told me get a job
Go to work, go to church, then repeat
Same thing next week
Some things ain't for me
A rebel at heart
Day-to-day living is what tears us apart
Nobody's cold at the start
Seen the good die young
But the world spins on
Memories live on

But life is hard
So I put my emotions in a song
Life is crazy...

[Hook 1x]

Sometime I feel like giving up
I put in work
But it never seem to be enough
I be trying
Cause I really wanna live it up
I said I wanna live it up
But hoping ain't enough

[Verse 2]

Hard to feel like somebody in this world
People dying every day
When I'm gone two more'll take my place
But that's fate
Tryna keep some faith
Granny said my obligation is to be black
And be dead
That's be me and die
I just wanna fly
Never know, ya never try
The world ain't give me nothing
Why should I return the favor
Middle finger to my haters
These hoes can get my lust
These women can get my love
How many gone get my trust
Pretty faces, nice smiles, and big butts
I'm kind, caring, and compassionate
But she said that ain't enough
It's true, you can't control with whom you fall in love
Everybody got they own perspective
Losing faith in humanity
Some people just stupid
But ignorance is bliss
Why not remain clueless?
Life don't have a blueprint
It's your choice what to do with it

[Hook 1x]

Sometime I feel like giving up
I put in work
But it never seem to be enough
I be trying
Cause I really wanna live it up
I said I wanna live it up
But hoping ain't enough

[Verse 3]

For my parents, I have some choice words
Out respect, unheard
I truly understand
They want they baby boy to be a man
The best that he can
It's sad my own parents don't believe in me
They gone see
What's it take?
Throwing three stacks in they face
Started in the dungeon making tapes
I'm a big boi
Got up, got out
Started stacking c-notes on my Cee-Lo
Thought I was crazy (Laughs)
....Maybe!
But they don't know what the future holds
It's plenty stars in the sky
Some brighter than others
Some get a name, while others go undiscovered
Yeah I like the money
But I don't want the fame
Just remember my name
What I'm saying
Through the poems I deliver
Through the joy & the pain
Through it all I still remain
Just tryna maintain
The name is Zane
Smith

[Hook 1x]

Sometime I feel like giving up
I put in work
But it never seem to be enough
I be trying
Cause I really wanna live it up
I said I wanna live it up
But hoping ain't enough

[Outro]

Life is crazy. Full of so many ups-and-downs
It's like, sometimes I ask why I'm even here in the first place. With the joy comes the pain
But I know, I guess through it all I'm supposed to still remain. I'm supposed to endure, but sometimes I feel like giving up on life period. It's crazy
