Don't give up,   you are almost there   From my chair it's looking good   You can do anything that you   get your mind made up to do      So just keep struggling   with the jobs you're juggling   Someone's bound to give you a break   and there's so much more that you can take      Brother, it's cool   I'm not attacking you   And nobody's trying to call you a fool   I'm just trying to make nice   with some friendly advice   and some knowledge that I picked up at school      Don't give up   It just wouldn't be fair   to the kids in your neighborhood   Everyone has some burdens to bear   You would share them if you knew that you could      It must be harrowing   Your prospects are narrowing   Better get your ass in a pew      Get your shit together   If you want to live forever   There's still time for me to show you the truth   Brother, here is what is in it for you
