Collapse
Eminem f/ Nate Dogg Lyrics

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, you feel weak
Sometimes, life gets so hard that you feel exhausted and vulnerable.

And when you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up
When you’re feeling weak, it’s easy to give up on life and stop trying.

But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
You need to find the strength within yourself to keep going and not give up.

And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
You must push yourself to find the motivation to keep going and not to quit.

And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to just fall flat on your face and collapse
Don't give up even when you feel like it's the easiest option, even if you feel like you're about to collapse.

'Til I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
