Never Say Never
Jaden Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never say never (never never never)

You see I never thought that I could walk through fire (aye)
I never thought that I could take the burn
I never had the strength to take it higher
Until I reach the point of no return

And there's just no turnin' back
When your heart's under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It's my destiny

I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up)
And never say never (ne-never say never)
(Ne-never say never)
(Ne-never say never)
Never say it, never, never say it

I never thought that I could feel this power (aye)
I never thought that I could feel this free
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea (oh)

'Cause there's just no turnin' back
When your heart's under attack
Gonna give everything I have
'Cause this is my destiny

I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up)
And never say never

Here we go
Guess who?
J-Smith and J-B!
I gotcha lil' bro
I can handle him
Hold up, aight?
I can handle him

Now he's bigger than me
Taller than me
And he's older than me
And stronger than me
And his arms a little bit longer than me
But he ain't on a J-B song with me

I be trying to chill
They try to sour the thrill
No pun intended, was raised by the power of will
Like Luke with the force, if push comes to shove
Like Kobe in the fourth, ice water with blood (lets go)

I gotta be the best, and yes
We're the fliest
Like David and Goliath,
I conquered the giant
So now I got the world in my hand,
I was born from two stars
So the moon is where I land
(I'm gone)

Yeah
I will never say never (I will fight)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up)
And never say never

Never say never

I will never say never (never say never)
I will fight till forever (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up (up up up)

And never say never (ne-never say never, never say it)
(Ne-never say never, never say it)
(Ne-never say never, never say it)
And never say never (ne-never say never)
(Ne-never say never)




(Ne-never say never)
And never say never
