Keep on going you just gotta fight it

Keep on going cus it's not too late

You can't back down, you can't back down

Keep on going you just gotta fight it

Keep on going cus it's never too late

You can't back down, you can't back down


[Verse 1: Adverse]

I would never give up, I’ve got to fight it

When life hits I retaliate with strikes like Tyson

Can’t be pushed an inch, I’ll always stand my ground

I’m going in, this is it, and I can’t back out…

I can’t back down, Go till the very last round

Follow my dreams and let the rest map out…

I want to be the best, in other words, a legend…

Writer’s block their blows and use my words as weapons

Be a permanent fixture, after my eternal restin’

People still bumpin me like I’m being heard from heaven

Wanna be loved from the first word to the last bow

Making packed crowds scream louder than a madhouse

I gotta achieve this dream, I don’t have another plan..

The kid that’s trying to make something outta nothin’ fam

And I say fam, bro, because I know you relate…

I can’t stop fighting failure when there’s so much at stake

[Verse 2: XMAN]

I'm to new to the game to ever back

Down, I feel like the a new kid at new

School who's surrounded by clowns, people

Want me to give up, they say it's just

Pipe dream, but still its my dream and they way

I see you never give up on your dreams will

I make it big, probably not but I'll be content

With every fan that I've got and shit if it ain't a lot

That's still fine by me, numbers don't matter its

About the loyalty of the team I'd rather keep pushing

With 10 trustworthy folk than ten thousand I don't

Even know, hell I'll keep fighting even if I'm alone

I don't give up no matter how many times I'm told

Because I know deep inside that I'll make it and

For those who think I won't you're mistaken because

If I have I dream I follow through, its gonna be a great

Day when everyone follows me instead of you

[Verse 3: Adverse]

Fuck fake friends I just need my fam to hold me up

And for the beggars crawling back I got arachnophobia

I bent backwards, spine’s been folded for respect…

So it’s love for them and cold shoulders for the rest

I’m too high on this feeling to kill thie vibe I’m on

Can’t dwell on my short comings cus life ain’t long

And I’m trying to be the best that’s ever set foot on stages

Leave with benefits and a good look like Meagan…

Almost to the top, feel me coming cus I’m close

You couldn’t back me down if you were Cousins in the post

I’m Artest, they attest my aggressive nature

I just found a way to make motivation outta anger

They set expectations low I’ll leave em blown away

Turn the chip on my shoulder to one in my trophy case

I’ma grind till’ I’m done, I’ma shine, best believe son

Without a rhyme or a reason, but these rhymes are my reason
