Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Till you get it right
Tell 'em you will never quit, tell 'em you will never quit
Until they day you get it right
Till you get it right
Hold your head to the sky, look 'em right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit
Until they day you get it right
(You) Till you get it right
Tell 'em you will never quit, tell 'em you will never quit
Until they day you get it right
(Oh) Till you get it right
Hold your head to the sky, look 'em right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit
Until they day you get it right
[Verse 2]
Single mother, two jobs, workin' her fingers to the bone
Holdin' her daughters mouth before her own
She's gotta do it, but she's still feelin'
Like there's somethin' deep inside that she can't leave behind
[Verse 3]
She won't let go of it, no matter how many times
She hears it over with, it's all fixed in her mind
That it's gonna get better and she won't ever
Hang her head again, break a sweat again, never again
[Verse 4]
Never, never give up (No), never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't workin'
Never, never give up (No never give up), never, never give up
Hold your head to the sky, look them right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up (Never), never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry (Cry)
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright (Shake it off)
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up (Ooh)
[Verse 5]
College student, payin' her own way
Workin' the club at night
Look what she go through, to stay in law school
So maybe one day, she can make her way in a man's world
And never be called just another girl
[Verse 6]
It ain't nothing like a dream you can't see
Even when the people round you don't believe
But in the twelfth round (Twelfth round), when you're against the ropes
Here comes your last minute miracle
You've got to know to
[Verse 7]
Never, never give up (Never), never, never give up (Don't give up)
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't workin'
Never, never give up (Oh, no), never, never give up (Never)
Hold your head to the sky, look 'em right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up (Oh), never, never give up (Never)
Even though some days you'll have to cry
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright (It's gonna be alright)
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up (Never, oh)
[Verse 8]
The sky is the limit (Oh, yes it is), for whatever you want to do (Oh, yeah)
Don't let anyone tell you, it ain't possible
No matter how low you feel, keep going higher, higher (Higher)
See I've been holdin' on, to my dreams too long
To watch it get away from me
This hand is mine to win, and I promise you that
I'll never, never give up
[Verse 9]
Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't workin'
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head to the sky, look 'em right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up (Never), never, never give up (Never give up)
Even though some days you'll have to cry (May have to cry)
Shake it off and know that everything will be alright (It's gonna be alright)
As long as you never, never give up, never, never give up (Oh, never)
[Verse 10]
Never, never give up, never, never give up
No matter how many times, somebody tells you it ain't workin'
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Hold your head to the sky, look 'em right in the eyes
Tell 'em you will never quit until the day you get it right
Never, never give up, never, never give up
Even though some days you'll have to cry
