I Can't Quit

(album: Dizzyland - 2022)

[Dizzy Wright:]
Yo, oh man
You know I had to pop up at the new broken complex spot
Know I had some things on my heart, on my mind I wanted to talk about
Uh-huh, go 'head and roll that up

Leaving my footprints on the surface
Engrave my granny name in the ground and I'm still hurting
Grandpa I miss you too, since you've been gone I've been searching
Soul set on fire but I never became a burden
I just try to remain a king but everything feel extreme
Now they saying science can give us a quicker vaccine
It's crazy 'cause this pandemic just feel like a bad dream
We on a real mission
Can't prove all the effects, that's another tricky condition
If it's pre-existed, then its knowledge is more conflicted
In a short amount of time look at the problems that's been listed
If you gon' let me speak my mind then I gotta be specific
We don't know what normal look like anymore, we're social distanced
It's all moving fast
Some say build your immune system, that's better than a mask
Pharmaceutical companies can humbly kiss my ass
I can't be no test dummy so I'll probably pass
But I appreciate the bravery, I can channel that
(Yeah, I can channel that)

Big dreams on my mind all the time but they all don't fit
Taking long-range shots from the top and I hope you don't miss
My mama told me "Can't be walking 'round like it don't exist"
Sometimes life make me wanna give up but I know I can't quit

[Omari Hardwick:]
Take a look into my eyes, broken mirrors
You might look at me surprised and I admit it
Rock my flaws like a style til I'm fitted
'Cause they paid for what I saw like I done did it
Ate the apple 'til it's raw, man, I done bit it
Got me asking if my God can forgive it
To that time kicking rocks with these blisters
Write about it like a scripture, yeah
Man, clipper with my Timb's 'til it get me bigger
Deeper with my pen like I swear I'm Tommy Lister
Life a crazy girlfriend but F it, I can't quit her
I done been around the Bend, done some dirt but I ain't litter
Gone 'til November like I'm 'clef Jean, Lauren Hill
Tryna find my way home, stop signs, every scripture
God planted bones and these poems 'til they bleed thicker
Whatever you be on, be your own 'til you bleed realer

[Dizzy Wright:]
Big dreams on my mind all the time but they all don't fit
Taking long-range shots from the top and I hope you don't miss
My mama told me "Can't be walking 'round like it don't exist"
Sometimes life make me wanna give up but I know I can't quit
Big dreams on my mind all the time but they all don't fit
Taking long-range shots from the top and I hope you don't miss
My mama told me "Can't be walking 'round like it don't exist"
Sometimes life make me wanna give up but I know I can't quit
