lyrics

I don't wanna be the same
I don't wanna concede
I left the bridges in flame
Sparked my need to succeed
But when I look around
Faces facing the ground
Locations are shared
But no one is found
The world keeps praising all your ignorance telling you
There ain't nothing wrong with that
Creating generations screen protected animations
Now they don't know how to straighten their back
So tired of hearing how somebody hurt your feelings from a hundred thousand miles away
Stand up child turn it off for a while and you'll see that you have gone astray
Look at me what do you say
No stopping till you know my name

Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Yeah
Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Mamma didn't raise no quitter

(rap)
Takin’ my piece of the prize
Trying to capitalise shift
Typing circles round the eyes
Effect of butterflies change is coming
Endless enterprise
Try to humanize code is running
Hypnotise all the O's and ones align falling
I was born to see my name posted on your wall
Gave up on my past and now I'm answering the call
Open up my mind upon the canvas no control
Altering the future to delete my self control

(Breakdown)
I need the masses to follow my footsteps
Won't stop till I become
One of your false messiahs
Keep rolling till the battle’s won ‘cause

Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Mamma didn't raise no quitter
Yeah
