Time Again

From the streets of San Diego to the slums of Echo Park
Broke down and homeless is where I got my start
I bounced around for years doing this and that
But now Im doing good and Im never looking back
I began with nothing, I still aint got much
When life got me down I had to be tough
From the age of 14 I was on my own
No one would do it for me so I did it alone
Shelter to shelter and jail to jail
Im here to tell you right now that I will not fail
I wish my old friends could see me now
Because they never would believe what I am doing now
I never gave up
Right now Im where I want to be
Maybe not for you, but its good enough for me
Dont need no fancy cars or diamond rings
All I wanna do is get on stage and sing
My dream is today and Im doing it strong
No matter what the odds, I will still push on
I will do it for the poor who have no voice
And for all of the victims who had no choice
I will do it for the weak who cannot fight
For those who were wronged I will make things right
Its been an uphill battle, my fingers have bled
But Im almost there and I am far from dead
I never gave up
When I came to the city of Hollywood I was broke down and beat
I slept behind dumpsters on the side of the street
Theres one thing that always got me through
The one thing I always held true is that I never gave up
Im never gonna give up
I never gave up
