Never Stop and Beat That Clock by Melodie Yvonne

Face is flush and deep I’m breathing
Lookin’ for a train to leave on
Jumpin’ off this crazy soap ride
I’m so real these lies can’t hide

I’m gonna keep movin’ until I stop
These cunts can’t stop me ’cause I’m a rock
I left my life behind the block
I’m tryin’ dream and beat the clock

My head is hurtin’ but soon I’ll fix it
Get away from all these mind tricks
Twisted shit pollutes my soul
Why they do it I don’t know

I’m gonna keep movin’ until I stop
These cunts can’t stop me ’cause I’m a rock
I left my life behind the block
I’m tryin’ dream and beat the clock

I lose my heart each time I give it
Let it go and don’t retrieve it
Duct tape fixes everything
Get it back and start again

I’m gonna keep movin’ and I won’t stop
These cunts can’t stop me ’cause I’m a rock
I left my life behind the block
Used my dream and beat that clock
