Don't Quit (Bay-Area GT)

Night get funky, block get loud,

Whole hood watchin’ — I still stand proud.

Heart been cracked, but I still don’t trip,

In the Bay — we don’t fold, we don’t quit.

Life hit corners like a scraper on rims,

Tryna knock me off route, but I still don’t bend.

Pockets thin, stomach talkin’, no sleep,

Still chasin’ that spark I refuse to let leak.

Pressure on chest — I eat that quick,

Bounce back heavy like a bassline hit.

Even down bad, I ain’t never alone,

Got fire in my blood, steel in my bones.

If you smilin’ through the pain,

That’s a flex they can’t contain.

Every scar, every bruise,

Proof you never let ’em choose.

Hold the line, feel that thump,

Dreams don’t die — they just go numb.

In the dark, they still glow,

You just closer than you know.

Don’t quit — not now,

Even when the world tryna push you down.

Don’t quit — don’t fold,

When the war in your chest turn your heartbeat cold.

You close — closer than you think,

Gold in the shadows, right there on the brink.

Hold tight — don’t slip,

This the second where the breakthrough hits.

Clouds roll in tryna dim my shine,

But storms fade quick — they ain’t stoppin’ mine.

Every weight I dragged through mud and grit

Built wings on my back, I ain’t ask for it.

Step by step, heart still knockin’,

Even doubt back up when I get to walkin’.

I ain’t lost — I’m in between

The mess and the beast I’m meant to be.

Light it up, let fear burn slow,

I was built to rise — that’s all I know.

What feel like the end tonight

Is just the fuse before I ignite.

Don’t quit — not now,

Even when the weight tryna drag you down.

Don’t quit — don’t bend,

When the storm in your chest start to spin again.

You close — closer than before,

Right at the edge of somethin’ more.

Hold strong — don’t slip,

This the second where the miracle hits.

If you tired, breathe — don’t fold,

Pain ain’t forever, it just feel cold.

Every fight I stayed and faced

Proved I’m built with different grace.

(half-beat pause)

Look how far I came…

Don’t quit — not now,

Hands up high, let the rage pour out.

Don’t quit — don’t bend,

I was made for moments like this, no end.

You close — feel the spark ignite,

I survived every one of them darkest nights.

Hold strong — don’t quit,

This the second where my future flips.

When the road get steep again,

I remember everywhere I been.

Still standin’, still alive,

Through the storm — I rise.
