Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 (Sulahl'ithemba)
That's what I told myself (Sulahl'ithemba)
That's what I told myself (Sulahl'ithemba)
That's what I told myself (Sulahl'ithemba)
That's what I told myself (Sulahl'ithemba)
[Verse 2]
They throwing dirt on my name
Making fun of my pain
Trying to make me a lame (Ey ey ey)
Look at me strange
I made some mistakes
I'm not a saint
I was on them things everyday
Trying to ease up the pain
Had to switch up the lane
I'm taking off like a plane
I can never be tamed
You know what they say
No pain no gain
I'm just trying to get paid
Hustle hard everyday
[Verse 3]
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, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
[Verse 4]
Enough is enough
It's getting tough
But I'm not giving up
I know you wish me no luck
I don't give a f**k
Keep it all buck
Less people to trust
They'll throw you under the bus
Joburg city I'm repping
Young **** steppin'
I'm a boss not a peasant, I took that as a lesson
Still left the studio session
Going down as a legend
Save me a spot up in heaven
We going to be rich in a second
[Verse 5]
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, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
That's what I told myself, Sulahl'ithemba
