@deacon_official Is Determined To Succeed In "Not Givin' Up"

A face to begin getting familiar with is that of James Deacon. He has just made his debut with "Not Givin' Up," a track premised on perseverance. In the 2 minute and 30-second track, James His is a song about turning lemons to lemonade, as he comments on how some of the hardships he's faced have molded him into a "heartless" person. Granted, this in no way suggests that he is unkind, but more so that he is less inclined to be sensitive or held back by nay-saying. 

With only one verse, the song is short and to the point. When looking at the lyrics, there are moments where one could say that there may have been a better, more concise, way of delivering his message, however, overall the song is worth the listen. Take a look at what James Deacon says in "Not Givin' Up," while you listen to this musician's latest offering. 

LYRICS

Don't wait up
I'm not coming home 
I'm done chasing
I'm done wasting 
I'm not facing the grave

Lock the door
Throw away the key

Dreams are waiting 
Needs creating 
It’s liberating for me
Don't look down
Keep moving on
It’s destiny 
Ready to be won

I'm gonna leave this town 

It’s not for me

The ground is breaking

Heads are shaking 

It’s my awakening

(Lord help me now)

I'm not givin’ up
(Don't wait up) 

I'm not living up
(Lord help me now)
So just fill my cup
Get on up
get on up now
(Lord help me now) 

I'm not givin’ up
(‘Cause imma tear it down)

I'm not living up
(Tear it down)
So just fill my cup
Get on up 
get on up now
(Tear it down)
Don't wait up

Hey I'm living free stop
Tell me what you see stop
Me stop
 He said she said we stop

Unlock me use the cage as a backdrop
Eyes on me my whole life is a mic drop

Out of the wild I got my fire from the lighting
King of the jungle as my grip is tightening
Look at my smile see sharp teeth are shining

Eyes dilate as my prey stops fighting

Did I deserve the treatment you gave me 
through all of the years I accept that maybe
Without the pain and the struggles that you put in my way see
I wouldn't be the man that stands before you today
I had to learn to be heartless turn the light into darkness 
flip the switch on all the things that kept me back like a harness
The only way is up now gotta pick it up now
left then a right combination gets a knockout

Don't wait up 
I'm not coming home 

I'm done chasing 
I'm done wasting 
I'm not facing the grave
Lock the door
Throw away the key

Dreams are waiting 
needs creating 
Its liberating for me

(Lord help me now) 
I'm not givin’ up...
