I'm fightin' for my future, ain't no lettin' go /
Carryin' that weight, but it won’t break my soul /
Every step I take, I'm closer to the throne /
Pressure made a diamond out this heart of stone / 
Yeah, I been through it all, seen the darkest nights /
But the fire in my spirit keeps me in the light /
They thought I’d fold, thought I'd run, thought I'd lose my sight /
But I keep standin' tall, always in the fight /
I got faith in my lane, trustin' God to guide /
They can't take what's mine, no matter what they try /
Storms came heavy, but I'm weatherin' fine /
Hope ain’t cheap, but it’s paid in time /
I’m pushin' past the limit, I'm refusin' defeat /
Even when it’s rough, I ain’t never retreat /
They prayin’ that I fall, but I’m planted too deep /
They gon' see me rise when I hit my peak

**Hook:**  
Don’t give up on me, I’m still fightin' my way /
Through the pain and the pressure, I’m here to stay /
When the world got heavy, I ain't drift away /
I kept my eyes on the vision, I’m makin’ it today

DON’T GIVE UP ON ME

[INTRO]
Every night I stare at the ceiling, thinkin’ how it came to this,
Blood, sweat, and pain in the grind — they still dismiss.
I gave my soul for this dream they claim I stole,
Now I’m walkin’ with fire in my veins, heart cold.

Damn… why the fuck they hatin’ on me?
I came from the dirt, ain’t nobody saved me.
Every move I make, they watch closely,
Like I ain’t bled for this life I’m holdin’ closely.

[VERSE 1]
Started with a pocket full of lint, not a cent to my name,
Had to hustle through pain just to make my own lane.
Mama workin’ double shifts, couldn’t sleep at night,
I was out in them alleys tryna make things right.
Now I got gold chains, but they seein’ fake,
Like success ain’t earned, like I didn’t break.
Every loss I took turned to a lesson learned,
Every bridge they burned — I let that shit burn.
They only see the glow, not the nights I froze,
Not the hunger pains, not the dirty clothes.
They point and talk while I build my throne,
But they never knew the weight of bein’ alone.

[CHORUS]
DAMN, WHY THE FUCK THEY HATIN’ ON ME?
I FOUGHT FOR THIS, I BLED FOR THIS, CAN’T THEY SEE?
EVERY SCAR I GOT IS A BADGE FROM THE STREETS,
EVERY LOSS I TOOK TURNED ME INTO A BEAST.
DAMN, WHY THE FUCK THEY HATIN’ ON ME?
THEY SMILE IN MY FACE, BUT THEY WANT ME TO BLEED.
I AIN’T ASK FOR LOVE, I JUST WANT PEACE,
BUT THEY KEEP THROWIN’ SHADE, TRYNA CUT MY DREAMS.

[VERSE 2]
I seen homies switch sides for a lil’ fame,
Claim loyalty, then throw dirt on my name.
You was eatin’ off my plate, laughin’ in my face,
Now you ghostin’ me, that’s a cold disgrace.
Every time I rise, they pray I fall,
Like I ain’t the one who answered every call.
They forget the struggle, they forget the pain,
They just want my shine, but not the rain.
Fake smiles, fake hugs, all disguise,
I see the envy deep in their eyes.
They mad ‘cause I climbed from the mud and thrived,
They mad ‘cause I made it out alive.

[CHORUS]
DAMN, WHY THE FUCK THEY HATIN’ ON ME?
I FOUGHT FOR THIS, I BLED FOR THIS, CAN’T THEY SEE?
EVERY SCAR I GOT IS A BADGE FROM THE STREETS,
EVERY LOSS I TOOK TURNED ME INTO A BEAST.
DAMN, WHY THE FUCK THEY HATIN’ ON ME?
I AIN’T PERFECT, BUT I’M STILL FREE.
I CAME FROM THE BOTTOM WHERE HOPE AIN’T CHEAP,
NOW I’M LIVING MY TRUTH WHILE THEY LOSIN’ SLEEP.

[BRIDGE]
I gave love to those who left me in the cold,
Still I kept faith when my soul felt old.
I been shot at, doubted, betrayed, and lied,
Still I rise, ‘cause I can’t be denied.
All this hate, it just fuels my drive,
They don’t wanna see me win, but I’m still alive.
You can’t break a man who done broke inside,
Now I walk with demons that learned to hide.

[VERSE 3]
Now I’m numb to the whispers and shade,
Used to hurt, now it sharpens my blade.
I’m the product of pain and pure ambition,
Hate just my spark, that’s my ignition.
They said I’d fail, now I’m their obsession,
They hate what they fear, that’s their confession.
I don’t beg for love, I demand respect,
Every move I make’s a cause and effect.
They don’t know my nights, they don’t know my tears,
They don’t see the blood on the grind through years.
So I stand tall, no apology,
If you hatin’ on me, it’s ‘cause you wanna be me.

[OUTRO]
Damn… why the fuck they hatin’ on me?
Maybe ‘cause I found peace in my misery.
Maybe ‘cause I turned pain into victory,
Maybe ‘cause I am what they’ll never be.
I ain’t runnin’ no race, I built my lane,
I wear my wounds like jewels from pain.
Let ‘em talk, let ‘em envy, let ‘em scheme,
I’m still the king of my broken dream.

DAMN, WHY THE FUCK THEY HATIN’ ON ME?
‘CAUSE I SURVIVED WHAT THEY COULDN’T BELIEVE.
HATE ALL YOU WANT, I’M STILL GON’ SHINE,
‘CAUSE MY SOUL TOO REAL, MY GRIND TOO DIVINE.
