Abstract - I Don't Give Up (feat. Roze)

#Abstract #Blulake #Roze

The second single from my new album Kintsugi! We honestly had a blast making this song and I know the world is in need of some uplifting affirmations that I believe this song accomplishes. When things get hard, you’ve gotta go harder and know that highs and lows are all part of your journey to get you where you’re supposed to go. I hope you enjoy it, much love

Lyrics:

[Refrain: RoZe]
If I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)
I know if I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)

[Chorus: RoZe]
And bitch, I want it all
So keep that negativity from by me (Yeah)
That type of energy is not what I seek (No)
'Cause I'm aware the only thing that I need (Yeah)
Is to constantly remind myself
That if—

[Verse 1: Abstract]
I don't give up—nah, I don't give in
Came up from nothin', I knew what I wanted, I needed to win
When you do it how I done it
When you get to stuntin' they start to forget where you been
I was dreamin' while you laughed at the kid
Nowadays, know it is what it is
Freestyle 'til I wrote with the pen
17, that's the way it began
Heartbroken 'til my art focused
Start seein' life through a whole different lens
You mean that I can become my own boss
From makin' a win when I suffer a loss?
That sound like alchemy, makin' a salary
Makin' a future off writin' my history
I got some cards that I didn't want dealt
I got some feelings I shouldn't have felt
I got some nights I shut off the lights and start feelin' everything but myself
I got some people I needed to lose
I got some anger to hot for the fuse
If I don't write it, I'm scared I'll survive it and wake up to seein' myself on the news
They gonna tell you that everything's great
Soon as this music is fillin' your plate
Gotta be stronger than what it becomes
Patience a virtue, get used to the wait
I stay above it, I know that they love it
Naysayers can shove it like gotta skate
I'm on a grind, so I got no time for payin' you mind
Get outta my face


[Chorus: RoZe]
So keep that negativity from by me (Yeah)
That type of energy is not what I seek (No)
'Cause I'm aware the only thing that I need (Yeah)
Is to constantly remind myself
That if—

[Refrain: RoZe]
If I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)
I know if I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)
And bitch, I want it all

[Chorus: RoZe]
So keep that negativity from by me (Yeah)
That type of energy is not what I seek (No)
'Cause I'm aware the only thing that I need (Yeah)
Is to constantly remind myself, yeah

[Verse 2: Abstract]
I know it's easy to say, I know it's harder to live
I know it's easy to take, I know it's harder to give
I know that I gotta shine even when everything's dark
When nobody's giving me theirs, I gotta give you my heart
Broken a blessing if you learn to grow
You get to reapin' whatever you sow
You get to seein' whatever you show
You get to bein' whoever you know
Ain't that a reason to be up and leaving if air that you breathin' got you movin' slow?
You gotta wake up, put you in control
Dice on the table, don't wait up to roll
Life a gamble, every channel, it's a handful, everybody gotta choose their game
Success for the obsessed but the progress gonna come from the choice you make
Stay safe in the mass-made mindstate 'stead of following that path that your heart made
If you don't, you're dead already
You're alive, get to livin' already


[Bridge: Abstract]
Until the sun sets, we all gotta shine
I will not be chained to your nine-to-five
Freedom worth more than a dollar sign
We been gettin' both, they can't knock the rise

[Chorus: RoZe]
So keep that negativity from by me (Yeah)
That type of energy is not what I seek (No)
'Cause I'm aware the only thing that I need (Yeah)
Is to constantly remind myself
That if—

[Refrain: RoZe]
If I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)
I know if I don't give up, I can get whatever I want (If I don't give up)
And bitch, I want it all

[Chorus: RoZe]
So keep that negativity from by me (Yeah)
That type of energy is not what I seek (No)
'Cause I'm aware the only thing that I need (Yeah)
Is to constantly remind myself, yeah

[kiwi]

Abstract and Roze are the best together, change my mind.

[toms]

The journey to me is defined by the individual, but the change in my personal path was in the discovery of your first song that ensued a life long love for your music . The growth you have shown in yourself is so enlightening that it shines through the darkest of days that I only found the answers I needed from the questions that you had to ask of yourself. I want to thank you not just from a love of your music, also for a love of the being in you that doesn't find the answer to keep.. instead, to reach back and give to others. Thank you..!

[briannarz]

this song definitely checks out as, “uplifting, ” such a positive song and just a really good ‘pick me up, ’
such an underrated artist, never disappoints❤️

Amazing once again! Keep grinding man
2:24 that flow switch to bend the words is genius

Love it when you and Roze do songs together and this one enforces that for me even more.

The problem is, all of your songs are too short, just want more. Keep em' coming!
