Some of my favorite songs

    Sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak, When you feel weak, you feel like you just wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, try and find that inner strength. And just pull that shit out of you, and get that motivation not to give up. And not be a quitter no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face.
