Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Life throws its fists I hit the floor Spit in the dust I hear you roar [Verse 1] Split lip Knuckles on stone Everyone left Thought I was done, alone Counted me out Called me a lost cause You took the hit with me Hanging on that cross Blood in my teeth Dirt in my lungs All of my prayers Sound like speaking in tongues You stood in my corner Silent, but real Said, "Every scar you show me Is something I can heal" [Chorus] Hey Jesus, teach me to not quit (not quit) When I’m beaten, broken, losing my grip You took the nails, you took that hit You got up again, so I won’t sit When I think there is no hope You say, "Son, you’re so, so close" Hey Jesus, teach me to not quit Teach me to not quit [Verse 2] Flashbacks Floor of my room Staring at the ceiling Waiting on doom Phone in my hand Ready to fade You cut through the noise Like a sunrise blade You said, "Breathe, boy Look at my side I know that dark I walked that night" If the stone rolled back From your cold grave Then this little failure Ain’t stronger than your name [Pre-Chorus] I stagger You steady my feet [low vocal register] I’m shaking But you don’t retreat If you rose up After all that pain Then quitting right now Would spit on your name [Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] [half-time beat, crowd vocals] Fists up Bruised heart You’ve been there From the start I fall down You say, "Rise" Wipe the fire Back in my eyes I’m not done While you still breathe In my lungs In my grief You stood up So I stand too If I don’t quit It’s ’cause of you [screamed] I won’t quit! [band drop] [whispered vocals] I won’t quit… [Chorus] [Chorus]

rap, Hybrid hard rock/rap with male vocals; downtuned guitars chug on the verses over tight, punchy drums, then blast open into a huge, shouted gang-vocal chorus. Verses sit in a rhythmic, almost spoken cadence with space for ad-libs; hook hits with sustained notes and octave guitars. Brief halftime breakdown before final chorus, bass snarling under a gritty lead line. Vocals raw, upfront, with a touch of distortion on the screams., hard rock
