Call It Quits

(album: Buried Alive - 2021)

[Crypt:]
Blood is running down my face, tears are forming in my eyes
Father always told me pain is temporary, keep it dry
Lift your head up, don't you cry, fighter always will survive
The hurt you feel inside can only mean that your alive
Keep your head down and digging, God will provide you vision
And lead you where you need to be if you just shut up and listen
Ignore the opposition, they just want your position
They want to 'X' you out like they're Atheists do to Christ on Christmas
So don't ever stray away from this path that you'll create
Get that tunnel vision, don't you quit, keep working every day
So I made a promise to myself that when I hear that final bell
I'mma give it everything that I got and I told God I would not fail
Until I'm on my deathbed and I'm staring into Heaven's eyes
I will never let nobody else control my life
I'mma wake up and I'll take what's mine, ain't no way I'll wait in line
Life is moving way too fast for me to peace back in time

You can take everything that I ever worked for
I'mma keep on pushing 'til I earn more
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits
You can try to hold me back, but I'll always find my own way
'Cause I am a beast that you won't tame
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits

[Jelly Roll:]
You can tell, just look in the sky, the angels are near it
Came out the gutter with Pennywise, I was facing my fears
I made it out the streets even though I was left to die
Still I sprouted out the concrete despite the pesticides
Somehow I bloomed to a beautiful rose
I was consumed with the blues, such a musical soul
This industry is full of hardships and politics
But I will never call it quits, in fact, I want all of it
You see fire in my eyes, even though I'm criticized
I have been vilified, belittled and minimized
If you ever dealt with depression, I really empathize
Promise you, the more money you make, this shit intensifies
Ludicrous, I deal with all these judicious serpents
Mama said "You win a tiny clown and you become a circus"
So tell 'em, Crypt, we ain't stopping, promise you will never change
We gon' be this fucking way until they put us in a grave

[Crypt:]
You can take everything that I ever worked for
I'mma keep on pushing 'til I earn more
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits
You can try to hold me back, but I'll always find my own way
'Cause I am a beast that you won't tame
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits

[Adam Calhoun:]
Biggie said the best, "More money, more problems"
Wake up, pop a Xanax, hard pill to swallow
I don't ever follow, take the road less traveled
Never know, see tomorrow, that's a whole 'nother battle
Take these little pills I'm popping, depression, it gets to stopping
My mental builds up these toxins where the ending is a option
I'm just talking real life
You just talking shit, looking for a click or a like
Off the ground, we will rose in the middle of the weeds
I've been down and so road, in the middle of the streets
I'm screaming, "Lord, help me with these demons
I'm just tryna figure out my purpose or a meaning"
Lately, it just seems like the same-old same-old
Pill popping, watch 'em go down like Drano
You still watching even though I feel insane
Know I ain't tryna kill myself, Kurt Cobain, yo

[Crypt:]
You can take everything that I ever worked for
I'mma keep on pushing 'til I earn more
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits
You can try to hold me back, but I'll always find my own way
'Cause I am a beast that you won't tame
I will never fall
Won't ever break, won't ever crack
Son't ever split, won't ever stop
Won't ever lag, won't ever call it quits, call it quits
