Never Give Up
William T. & The Black 50's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

Seems like I been through it all
Nearly lost my mind
Almost gave up
Said I'm wasting my time
My life is consumed
From the struggles of today
I can't make it on my own
So you know I gotta pray
I gotta stay strong
Endure 'til the end
With Christ on my side
Yes you know I'm gonna win
If you ever felt the same
Like you can't go on
Go ahead and sing along to the words in this song

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

I'll never give up
I'll never give in

I'll never give up
I'll never give in





I'll never give up
I'll never give in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to William T. & The Black 50's's song "Never Give Up" seem to be objectifying women of different ethnicities. The repeated phrase "that girl wanna give it up" suggests that the singer considers women as objects for his pleasure, rather than as individuals deserving of respect. The mention of different ethnicities seems to further the idea that the singer sees women as interchangeable, with no regard for their unique identities. The verse where the singer talks about a woman’s dreams of being with him suggests that he sees himself as a desirable person and reinforces his objectifying attitude towards women.


There is also the mention of liquor which may suggest a connection between alcohol and objectification. The lyrics also promote the stereotype of exoticism, encouraging men to seek out women of different ethnicities for their own pleasure. The objectification and exoticism presented in the song are harmful and reinforce oppressive ideas about women and people of different cultural backgrounds.
