Don't Give Up (This Goes Out...)

This goes out to my homegirls

This goes out to my homies

[Verse 1:]

Baby girl, I know that you've been off track

You feel like taking one step forward, taking two back

No matter how hard you try, things always go bad

The thought of a better life, you'll never know that

You smile on the out, but inside you hurt

You say that you're fine, but you feel unsure

Try to replace the pain by saying false words

You see that girl in the mirror but don't know her

[Hook:]

But the tears can't wash away

All the fears you haven't faced

Baby girl, don't lose your faith

'Cause the storm don't last always

[Chorus:]

This goes out to my homegirls

Know it's hard to make it in this world

I know you try

And it feels like

Nothing goes right

But it'll be alright

This goes out to my homies

Tryna survive out in these streets

I know it's tough

Forced to grow up

Life is messed up

But keep ya head up

[Verse 2:]

Baby boy, the streets, it's all that you know

You dream of a higher place, but you stay low

And when you go home and mad and you're all alone

Wanna call out to your boys (but they're all gone)

You tell yourself (that you don't need)

No one else (but if only)

You would try (won't give no need)

Won't have to hide (what you're feeling)

[Hook:]

But the tears can't wash away

All the fears you haven't faced

Baby boy, don't lose your faith

'Cause the storm don't last always

[Chorus:]

This goes out to my homies

Tryna survive out in these streets

I know it's tough

Forced to grow up

Life is messed up

But keep ya head up

This goes out to my homegirls

Know it's hard to make it in this world

I know you try

And it feels like

Nothing goes right

But it'll be alright

[Bridge:]

Baby girl, keep your head up

Promise me you'll never give up

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby boy, keep your head up

Promise me you'll never give up

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus:]

This goes out to my homegirls

Know it's hard to make it in this world

I know you try

And it feels like

Nothing goes right

But it'll be alright

This goes out to my homies

Tryna survive out in these streets

I know it's tough

Forced to grow up

Life is messed up

But keep ya head up
