Meek Mill, DJ Khaled, Anthony Hamilton - Never Surrender lyrics

Keep your circle tight trust no one, nobody
(Nobody, nobody, no no no) dJ Khaled!

Gotta be careful who you trusting
Be aware of your surroundings
When you hustling them niggas smiling at you
Ain't your friends, dawg
All the real ones are dead
Or in the pen y'all
You fuck with dude, he your day one
Almost had it all then the day comes
When they walking through your house
With the strap out point it at your head
Got the bread then you blacked out
Bright lights down the hallways
Left his best friend for dead
For the small wage
They say that every dog's got a day coming
It's like you seein' a ghost
But he ain't say nothing
Eyes wide shut like you looking at me


Window pane to the soul say they niggas happy
But the pictures say them words
We ain't tryna stomach
The homie didn't keep it one hundred
The cops doing round-ups
Say they got a suspect
Finally got a name now I'm
Stunned thinkin "Fuck that" (Fuck that)
For the money
Niggas murder what they close to
(Get this nigga) entire families
These motherfuckers ghost you
Smoke you, was it worth what the life was?
Just prepare for the payback
Cause it strikes cuz
Was it worth what that life was?
Prepare for the payback when it strikes cuz

Cause when you need it the most
Ain't no one ever around
Cold world, cold world

Yo, the pain's unbearable
Remains unawareable he fuck around
Jump off a building if you dare him to
The greats, they done already killed him
Who you compare him to
To really figure out what he said
Will take a year or two
Family over everything, skills over politics
He don't need the accolades as
Long as you acknowledge it
Just playing the hand you was dealt, no aces
Betrayal is worse than death in most cases
The world is filled with hypocrites
That's so racist
Multiple shots to the face, no chasers
Mad cause you blew up quick and you excited
Your man that you grew up
With get you indicted
This was your nigga, yo, for him
You let the trigger go
Found out at the trial they
Got audio and video
Shit don't always happen how you plan it
Get jammed up and really find
Out who your fam is
You could feel the picture
You don't need to see the canvas
That nigga Jay'll Hawk you
He don't even play for Kansas
You know when it's someone you love
The hurt's pure
When you front tryna hold it in
It hurts more
You was right there back-to back
With me my first war
Even had a crack spot together
The first floor
Used to buzz 'em in then meet
'em right by the first door
That was 'prolly a year before I
Went on my first tour
Friendship was worth more than
A couple of ounces
You was 'sposed to be with
Me arguing with the bouncers
Instead, you ended up somewhere
Far in the mountains
Talking 'bout what we was doing
What we was counting
Nothing but old pictures of old sixes
Old BM's with the kit's, old Schnitzers
Two sides, both wishes
Karma is the sister of life
They both bitches

See there's a story in my life
There's a story in my pain
There's a story in my tears, oh oh oh
(yeah, for life) there's a story in me

Lord forgive me for my sins
I was chasin' ends
And I'm into makin' money
I ain't into making friends
Cause these niggas rattin'
I ain't finna take a chance
Homie said he 'bout that
Action, they grab him, he take the stand
Damn, say loyalty make a man
Got a homie and he told
I don't even shake his hand
I don't even crack a smile
Knew him since a child
Man this game so foul but niggas made vows
To a code I never break
Ridin' in the heavyweight
Thirty-six Os in the bird
Call it featherweight
Never on time, when I show up
I be ready late
Niggas got fat while we starved
They already ate
And I'm tryna get full, mask on, clip full
If he got the money
We attack him like a pit bull
We sellin' soft and sellin' hard
Like it's a brick store on my dick, nigga
Thought that's what your bitch for hah!

My pain ain't never been told
(Ain't never been told)
All the success that I'm suffering from
Came from this knowledge I sold
(This knowledge I know)
My family fucks with me
And fought the enemy that stood in my way
(In my way)
That's why I don't trust nobody
And I doubt you'll ever see that day

'Fore I surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you
(Surrender to you, which I will never do)

Cause when you need it the most
Ain't no one ever around (Nobody's around)
Cold world
(Cold world) cold world (Mmm, yes it is
Yeah) and the ones that you keep close
Are the ones that'll take you down
(Always take you down)
Cold world (Cold) a cold, cold world

'Fore I surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you (Surrender to you)
Fore I surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you (Surrender)
Surrender to you
(Surrender to you, which I will never do)
Oh ohh, oh-whoa oh ohh (oh ohh) oh ohh

See there's a story in my life
(Hey, surrender)
There's a story in my pain (Hey, surrender)
There's a story in my tears, oh oh oh
(Surrender) there's a story in me
I won't surrender, I won't surrender
Ohh no no no
