Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now

Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) That's what I told myself, ayy

(Sulahl' ithemba) That's what I told myself, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) That's what I told myself, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba, nah)
They throwing dirt on my name
Making fun of my pain
Tryna make me a lame (Ayy ayy, ayy)
Look at me strange, I made some mistakes (Ayy)
I'm not a saint, I was on 'em thangs everyday
Tryna ease up the pain, had to switch up the lane
I'm taking off like a plane (Ayy)
I can never be tamed (Ayy)
Yeah you know what they say:
No pain no gain (Yeah)
I'm just tryna get paid (Uh huh)
Hustle hard everyday (Dawg, yeah)
Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now
I say
Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now, ayy

(Sulahl' ithemba, nah)
Enough is enough (Uh huh)
It's gettin' tough (Uh huh)
But I'm not giving up (Uh huh)
I know you wish me no luck (I know, ayy)
I don't give a fuck (I don't)
Keep it a buck (Uh huh)
Less people to trust, they'll throw you under the bus (They will)
Joburg city I'm repping (Yessir)
Young nigga steppin' (Represent)
I'm a boss not a peasant (Hay no)
I took that L as a lesson (Yeah)
Still at the studio session (Yeah)
Going down as a legend (Yeah)
Save me a spot up in heaven (Yeah)
We gon' be rich in a second, yeah
Don't throw in the towel (Yeah)
Don't give up now
Raise your chin up now
I say
Don't throw in the towel

Raise your chin up now, ayy

[Nasty C:]
Yeah (Yeah)
I've been dealin' with struggles too long, dawg
I need a break from it all, dawg
Why they pray for me to fall, dawg?
When I'm tryna right my wrongs
People don't know what it cost, to be the boss
So they just, focus on my losses
I done, bared so many crosses
I'm in the, field with no amor
Let the wrong people get close to me
I've been fightin' my demons openly
And this can't be how it's supposed to be
It's no privacy in my world
No honesty, dawg, it's just a lot of hypocrisy in my world
Niggas play hide and tweet in my world (Uh, damn)
Man it's okay ('kay)
It's alright (Right)
Do your thing (Thing)
Live your life (Life)
Tweet me all of your weak advice
Judge me now cause your life is perfect
Cause you ain't got habits, and you ain't got urges
And everything you do is always on purpose
Right?
No I can't give up now
Can't throw in the towel
Keep my chin up now, ayy
Can't give up now
Can't throw in the towel
Keep my chin up now
That's what I told myself, ayy
That's what I told myself
That's what I told myself
That's what I told myself, oh yeah
Yeah

[Emtee:]
Y eso es seguro
(Exclusivo, -clusivo)
(Ayy, ayy)
No tires la toalla
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora
Digo
No tires la toalla
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba, nah)
Están tirando tierra sobre mi nombre
Burlándose de mi dolor
Tratando de hacerme un tonto (Ayy ayy, ayy)
Me miran raro, cometí algunos errores (Ayy)
No soy un santo, estaba en esas cosas todos los días
Tratando de aliviar el dolor, tuve que cambiar de carril
Estoy despegando como un avión (Ayy)
Nunca podré ser domesticado (Ayy)
Sí, sabes lo que dicen:
Sin dolor no hay ganancia (Sí)
Solo estoy tratando de que me paguen (Uh huh)
Luchando duro todos los días (Perro, sí)
No tires la toalla
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora
Digo
No tires la toalla
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba, nah)
Basta es basta (Uh huh)
Se está poniendo difícil (Uh huh)
Pero no me rindo (Uh huh)
Sé que no me deseas suerte (Lo sé, ayy)
Me importa un carajo (No me importa)
Sé sincero (Uh huh)
Menos gente en quien confiar, te tirarán debajo del autobús (Lo harán)
Ciudad de Johannesburgo, estoy representando (Sí señor)
Joven negro dando un paso (Represento)
Soy un jefe, no un campesino (De ninguna manera)
Tomé esa L como una lección (Sí)
Todavía en la sesión de estudio (Sí)
Pasando a la historia como una leyenda (Sí)
Guárdame un lugar en el cielo (Sí)
Vamos a ser ricos en un segundo, sí
No tires la toalla (Sí)
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora
Digo
No tires la toalla
No te rindas ahora
Levanta la barbilla ahora, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
(Sulahl' ithemba) Eso es lo que me dije, ayy

Eso es lo que me dije (Sulahl' ithemba)
Eso es lo que me dije (Sulahl' ithemba)
Eso es lo que me dije (Sulahl' ithemba)
Eso es lo que me dije sí (Sulahl' ithemba)
[Nasty C:]
Sí (Sí)
He estado lidiando con problemas demasiado tiempo, perro
Necesito un descanso de todo, perro
¿Por qué rezan para que me caiga, perro?
Cuando estoy tratando de corregir mis errores
La gente no sabe lo que cuesta ser el jefe
Así que simplemente se centran en mis pérdidas
He soportado tantas cruces
Estoy en el campo sin amor
Dejar que la gente equivocada se acerque a mí
He estado luchando contra mis demonios abiertamente
Y esto no puede ser como se supone que debe ser
No hay privacidad en mi mundo
No hay honestidad, perro, solo hay mucha hipocresía en mi mundo
Los negros juegan a las escondidas y tuitean en mi mundo (Uh, maldita sea)
Hombre, está bien ('kay)
Está bien (Bien)
Haz lo tuyo (Cosa)
Vive tu vida (Vida)
Tuiteame todos tus consejos débiles
Júzgame ahora porque tu vida es perfecta
Porque no tienes hábitos y no tienes impulsos
Y todo lo que haces siempre es a propósito
¿Verdad?
No, no puedo rendirme ahora
No puedo tirar la toalla
Mantén la barbilla en alto ahora, ayy
No puedo rendirme ahora
No puedo tirar la toalla
Mantén la barbilla en alto ahora
Eso es lo que me dije, ayy
Eso es lo que me dije
Eso es lo que me dije
Eso es lo que me dije, oh sí
Sí
