Persevere | back 2 Self by Kennedy Betts Lyrics
4. persevere | back 2 Self [prod. D'Artizt]
(Forest footsteps)
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
I'm talking bout hardships
When life sinks your heart ship
Having your mind split
The same time, your heart rips
Then you find yourself
With a thought like i quit
But no
This is the part when
You stand up, regardless
Harness the will to keep
Marching through marshes
When you are starving
When you are parched and
Pen to the parchment
Give it like bartend
For free, no cost man
Flow not from faucet
Got it from God man
God is the Tree
God is the All man
God is the Self
I hear Him calling
Me, yeah
God is the remedy
Gives me the energy
To make it through
Another day, every day
I fight the enemy
Inside of Kennedy
Going through memories
My journey’s a melody
Day and night
It’s a fight
(back 2 Self)
Inside my
Heart and mind
(back 2 Self)
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
(continue to flow
Whatever the weather)
Cause i’ve felt the sun
And i’ve felt the rain
I’ve felt the wind
Blowing in change
I’ve felt the joy
And i’ve felt the pain
I’ve felt the Love
And I’ve felt the hate
I am just trying
To integrate
Merge with the Light
Into the day
I will not lie
Yeah I’m afraid
But i won’t stop
I turned off the brakes
No matter what
I have to face
I persevere
I grow and i change
Back to the Self
From where i came
Fall seven times
But i stand up eight
I never give up
I never forsake
I never lose hope
I never lose faith
That is my power
This is my fate
I’m walking my path
And yeah it is strange
They say that i’m mad
They say I’m insane
And maybe i am
But thats why i'm great
My madness is magic
We’re breaking the cage
There’s sadness and tragic
Stuff in my brain
It beats in my heart
It flows through my veins
I pour out my soul
I paint on the page
But my music different
This isn’t the same
I don’t even play
But i’m changing the game
Got multiple speeds
I got multiple lanes
I got what they need
And i give it away
Day and night
It’s a fight
(back 2 Self)
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
(it’s a journey
To the Self)
It took me years
To look in the mirror
Acknowledge the dark
Behind my appearance
Acknowledge the scars
The pain i was fearing
Then put it in art
For people to hear it
Each day that i battle
My spirit is clearing
My spirit unravels
The layers are peeling
The snake tries to rattle
I fight it with lyrics
I travel, i babble
I’m grappling with it
But fear has no power
Except what you give it
My heart is so fragile
I put in it rhythm
I scribble, I scrabble
Write glyphics a little
I carve it in gravel
I speak in these riddles
I hope that you get it
The meaning is simple
Don’t ever give up
That Naruto symbol
Day and night
It’s a fight
(back 2 Self)
Inside my
Heart and mind
(back 2 Self)
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
Back 2 Self
It’s a journey to the Self, yeah
Back 2 Self
It’s a journey to the Self, yeah
You gotta go a little if you wanna go awhile
You gotta take a step if you wanna walk a mile
You gotta get real low if you wanna get much higher
Don’t ever give up, that perseverance style
(Forest footsteps)
(Forest footsteps)
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
I persevere
Continue to row, yeah
I persevere
I’ll never give up, no
