[Verse 1]
My home don't feel the same
Last year flew by; goodbye to the good vibes
What we thought were the best times
Nights out with the people I love
Now I'm lost in the neighborhood
That raised me, praised me, made me who I am
But my father was twice the man
And now that pain's resurfacing

[Verse 2]
Brooklyn don't feel the same
Maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame
Another drink down the drain
Ten more before I get on that plane
I swear I knew just what to say
It's all there on the tip of my tongue
But I don't feel good enough for anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't fold
I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling

[Chorus]
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
