Music: Jorge Rivera-Herrans
I spent too much time
on a road I didn't choose
and I didn't love
Chasing dreams that were
never mine to begin with
and I know I'm not the only one
You cannot force a career down our throats
and hope that we hold it
without questioning: Who am I?
Allow me to reintroduce myself!
I am I to the N to the D to the
I’m Indigo with the flow
I'll be speaking in rhymes
If you're looking for a story
I am here to supply you
with a fiery desire to thrive, not survive
I'm exuberant, tenacious and a med school dropout
You might think of me as just a cop out
But in reality I love to sing and write,
it's part of who I am
And no disrespect to the doctors who are busy operating
I just can't keep waiting on a job that I've been hating
Soon enough it'll be too late
I gotta take control of my fate
But everybody's so scared so I step up to the plate
I wanna look back at the end of my life
and say I did it!
I followed every dream that I had and every wish
Consider this: I'm gonna see my name in lights
But till that day comes
got one state of mind:
I won't give up!
Not today, not tomorrow
Anybody asks me, I got dreams to follow
And I won't give up!
And I won't back down
Heaven can't hold me now!
Till my heart's not beating courage
till my body's outta life
No, I won't give up!
Won't give up!
Won't give up!
Won't give up!
Check it:
I got a message for every vessel of knowledge who's following their heart
Just trust me, you're not alone
This is your zone
your time to grow and hone your skills!
The realest question I know is: when is it fine to just give up and not try?
And someone tell me why I should carry this weight inside till the day I die
It's like my life's a probability test
Too many people searching for some formula to success, come on!
Be a bit stronger, push a bit longer
When they knock you down, get up and try harder
Me and my father, we can go farther
Don't give up! That's my alma mater
I want my name to be engraved in your brains!
I want the inspiration in your veins to drive you insane!
Remember this day cause imma keep on playing the game
Till everybody I inspire's out here doing the same!
And I won't give up!
Not today, not tomorrow
Anybody asks me, I got dreams to follow
And I won't give up!
And I won't back down
Heaven can't hold me now!
Till my heart's not beating courage
till my body's outta life
No, I won't give up!
Won't give up!
Won't give up!
Won't give up! (*3)
