wuts deserves my energy

TOO STRONG TO GIVE UP (Country Trap Remix) ​[Beat Description] (Acoustic slide guitar playing a mournful, bluesy Southern riff, immediately dropping into a heavy, knocking trap 808 and a slow, steady kick-drum heartbeat. Gritty, cinematic, and raw.) ​[Intro — Spoken, raw, right on the mic] Yeah… Turn that acoustic up just a little bit. Look. Days keep passing, minutes on the clock, Know one day we're all gonna face that stop. From the dirt roads to these city blocks… I'm learning what deserves my energy, And what don't deserve a piece of me. ​[Hook — Melodic, soulful, gritty delivery] See the days go by like minutes on a clock, Know one day this whole world gonna stop. I'm learning what deserves my energy, And who don't deserve what's left of me. My heart been broken by the ones I trusted, Gave 'em loyalty, but they left me with nothing. I keep getting knocked down, but I'm still standing up, I've been through too much — I'm too strong to give up. ​[Verse 1 — Real street storytelling, Southern grit] I gave my heart to people who ain't value what it meant, Gave 'em every piece of me, got pain for what I spent. Thought loyalty was something that a real one understood, From the country to the trenches, man, they never did it good. Now I'm watching every step, I can't keep wasting all my time, Got a thousand things weighing heavy on this troubled mind. I ain't saying I don't hurt, I just don't let the hurt decide, Got a fire deep inside me — country born, street-wise. ​[Bridge — Quiet acoustic pluck, building up the 808s] If I fall, I'll rise again, Even when I lose a friend. I can't change the things they've done, But I won't let them stop what's coming. (Stomp... stomp... drop the 808) ​[Final Hook — Full power, layered vocals, heavy trap bounce] See the days go by like minutes on a clock, Know one day this whole world gonna stop. I'm learning what deserves my energy, And who don't deserve what's left of me. My heart been broken, but my soul ain't crushed, I've been through the pain, still I never gave up. Keep knocking me down, I'm still standing up, I'm Carlton Rutherford — too strong to give up. ​[Outro — Spoken over fading acoustic guitar and slow bass] Time don't wait on nobody… So protect your peace. Know your worth. From the block to the backwoods, man. Never let somebody else's disloyalty Make you forget the good that's still inside you. ​Carlton Rutherford. Founder. Still standing. (Acoustic guitar rings out, 808 fades to silence)
