about

Never Say Never is about overcoming the odds on an individual level and how that can have a ripple effect that change the world. Cyrus starts off explaining how he wrote down to, "Get the MIDI Alien to produce a dope track," on his notebook. Which is the truth of how this song started. This song was actually the first song written and recorded for What's The Story? after procuring his first beat from DC THE MIDI Alien.

Cyrus then describes speaking with the Oracle on the beginning of his journey and that the Oracle tells him that he's going to make a positive impact on the world by writing a song that can bring us together. The Oracle tells Cyrus of our time of division and struggle, and to never let the worst of it get to him, but to remain calm on his quest to unite us. The Oracle tells Cyrus to explore the galaxy by taking a Caravan to Mars after getting those responsible for the woes of the planet to heal its scars.

In the second verse Cyrus talks about having been in outer space and how he met species unknown to us that he describes as a different race of from outside beyond our star system that told him their history of both conflict and eventual peace. Cyrus then explains his own moral views and how he's taken an oath as a Freemason to help those in distress.

The third verse is about a future Cyrus is imagining after we save the planet. It's bitter sweet because it took losing so much before we could get our act together. He reminds us that despite our technological advancements, we only hurt the planet and the rest of the creatures on it with our development. Cyrus tells us that we owe God an apology for what we've done, but that it's not too late to change your own life which in turn can change the world for the better. He tells us that it's NEVER too late, and too NEVER give up. So NEVER say NEVER because the impossible is POSSIBLE.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Never say never
It was never in my vocab
Never took NO as a reason I should hold back
Following instructions
That were written on my note pad
Get the MIDI Alien to produce a dope track
How the journey started
Checked in with the oracle
Said what you do next
Will be historical
They need you more than ever life is getting so horrible
They're fighting with each other because nothing is affordable
Bring the world closer you're supposed to write a song
That opens up our minds and helps us get along
Start the journey here never fear that they can harm
You, with another bomb you, must remain calm
Use your compass, following the stars
Take the caravan all the way to Mars
Before you go though make em take a pause
Look at what they did and heal up all the scars

Chorus:
Be yourself and that's okay
Never give up is what they say
Working so hard for not enough pay
I know you wanna quit like every day
Never say never now
You gotta get up somehow
You can turn the world around
So never say never now

Verse 2:
Back from outer space
Met up with another race told me all their history
And how they almost got erased
They quarreled with each other
Til they almost got replaced
By another species that was tryn to take their place
But they overcame their fate
By getting rid of hate
I know you can relate
What we need to simulate
They got the other species to assimilate
Integrate, but keep their inner faith ain't it great
Imitate a mental state
That can educate any mate
Turn em to friend not an enemy anyway
Emulate anyone that demonstrates
Inner strength
Share a little bit off your lunch and your dinner plate
I took an oath I made an obligation
To help the distressed because I'm a Mason
Follow me like a constellation
We can overcome all the confrontation

Chorus:
Be yourself and that's okay
Never give up is what they say
Working so hard for not enough pay
I know you wanna quit like every day
Never say never now
You gotta get up somehow
You can turn the world around
So never say never now

Verse 3:
Countdown stopped
Yes I hear applause
We saved the world but look at all we lost
Time to start afresh and get our point across
We had it all but destroyed it for a cost
All that technology
Couldn't counteract killin biology
Illogically
Never found the balance
With nature and our talents
We used it all for malice
We owe God an apology
No harmony
We always take it to the armory
Kill a bunch of people
Then they honor me
Selling more weapons
Means better economy
Forget about wildlife
And our ecology
Listen to experts
Don't listen to the critics
You could have it all if you forget about the gimmicks
It all starts with you and not believing you have limits
You could change your life
In the next few minutes

Chorus:
Be yourself and that's okay
Never give up is what they say
Working so hard for not enough pay
I know you wanna quit like every day
Never say never now
You gotta get up somehow
You can turn the world around
So never say never now
