Epilogue: Won'T Give Up

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 will 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 'til 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

'Til my heart's not beating courage
'Til my body's out of life
No, I won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up!

Check it
I've 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 since when is it fine to just give up and not try?
Can someone tell me why I should carry this weight inside
'Til 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
Ayy, 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
'Til everyone that 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

'Til my heart's not beating courage
'Til my body's out of life
No, I won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up!

Oh, oh!

I won't give up
Not today, not tomorrow
(And I won't, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't)
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

'Til my heart's not beating courage
'Til my body's out of life
No, I won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up!

I won't give up (No!)
Not today, not tomorrow
(And I won't, and I won't, and I won't, and I won't)
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

'Til my heart's not beating courage
'Til my body's out of life
No, I won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up
Won't give up!

I'm out!
Ah!
