Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now

Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now, ayy

(Sulahl' ithemba) That's what I told myself, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) That's what I told myself, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba, nah)

They throwing dirt on my name
Making fun of my pain
Tryna make me a lame (Ayy ayy, ayy)
Look at me strange, I made some mistakes (Ayy)
I'm not a saint, I was on 'em thangs everyday
Tryna ease up the pain, had to switch up the lane
I'm taking off like a plane (Ayy)
I can never be tamed (Ayy)
Yeah you know what they say:
No pain no gain (Yeah)
I'm just tryna get paid (Uh huh)
Hustle hard everyday (Dawg, yeah)

Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now
I say
Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now, ayy

Enough is enough (Uh huh)
It's gettin' tough (Uh huh)
But I'm not giving up (Uh huh)
I know you wish me no luck (I know, ayy)
I don't give a fuck (I don't)
Keep it a buck (Uh huh)
Less people to trust, they'll throw you under the bus (They will)
Joburg city I'm repping (Yessir)
Young nigga steppin' (Represent)
I'm a boss not a peasant (Hay no)
I took that L as a lesson (Yeah)
Still at the studio session (Yeah)
Going down as a legend (Yeah)
Save me a spot up in heaven (Yeah)
We gon' be rich in a second, yeah

Don't throw in the towel (Yeah)
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now

Raise your chin up now, ayy

That's what I told myself yeah (Sulahl' ithemba)

Yeah (Yeah)
I've been dealin' with struggles too long, dawg
I need a break from it all, dawg
Why they pray for me to fall, dawg?
When I'm tryna right my wrongs
People don't know what it cost, to be the boss
So they just, focus on my losses
I done, bared so many crosses
I'm in the, field with no amor
Let the wrong people get close to me
I've been fightin' my demons openly
And this can't be how it's supposed to be
It's no privacy in my world
No honesty, dawg, it's just a lot of hypocrisy in my world
Niggas play hide and tweet in my world (Uh, damn)
Man it's okay ('kay)
It's alright (Right)
Do your thing (Thing)
Live your life (Life)
Tweet me all of your weak advice
Judge me now cause your life is perfect
Cause you ain't got habits, and you ain't got urges
And everything you do is always on purpose
Right?

No I can't give up now
Can't throw in the towel
Keep my chin up now, ayy
Can't give up now
Can't throw in the towel
Keep my chin up now

That's what I told myself, ayy
That's what I told myself
That's what I told myself
That's what I told myself, oh yeah
Yeah
