Never Surrender Lyrics - Suffering From Success - Dj Khaled

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 surrounding 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 

Pointing at your head, got the bread then you black out (yeah) 

Bright lights down the hallways 

Left his best friend for dead for the small wage (ay) 

They say that every doors got a day coming 

It's like he seen a ghost but he ain't say nothing 

Eyes wide shut like you looking at me 

Window pain to the soul say they niggas happy 

But the pictures ain't say them words and we dry stomach 

The homie didn't keep it one hundred 

The cops doing roundups, say they got a suspect 

Finally got a name now, I'm still thinkin fuck that (fuck, that) 

For money, niggas murder what they close to (get this nigga) 

Entire families these mother fuckin' ghost you 

Smoke you, was it worth what the life was? 

Just prepared for the payback because it strikes cuz 

Was it worth what that life was?

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Prepare for the payback when it strikes cuz 

Cuz 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 

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 

You front tryna hold it in, it hurts more 

He 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 him right by the first door 

That was probably a year before I went on my first tour 

Friendship was worth more than a couple of ounces 

He was supposed to be with me arguing with the bouncers 

Instead you ended up somewhere far in the mountains 

Talking 'about what we was doing, what we was counting 

Nothing but old pictures of old sixes 

Photos 

Old BM's with the kids, old snitches 

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, ohh-ohh ohhh 

There's a story in me 

Yeah, for life 

Lord forgive me for my sins, I was chasin' ends 

And I'm into makin' money, I ain't in to making friends 

Cause these niggas rattin', I ain't finna take a chance 

Homie said he 'bout that action they grabbin' me 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 heavy weight 

Thirty-six O's in the bird, call it feather weight 

Never on time, when I show up I be ready late 

Niggas got fat while we starved they already ate 

And I'm trying to get full, masks on clips full 

If he got the money we attack him like a pitbull 

We sellin' soft, we 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 (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 will 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 

Ohh-ohhhhhhhhohhhwhooooa 

Ohh-ohhhhh (ohh-ohhhh) ohh-ohhhhh 

See there's a story in my life 

(Surrender) 

There's a story in my pain 

(Surrender) 

There's a story in my tears 

(Surrender) 

There's a story in me 

(I won't Surrender, I won't surrender, ohh no no no)
