You'll Never Take Me Down

You aint never gonna take me down

(so you see I ain't gonna break)

Your never gonna take me down

(you can't stop what you can't stop) (2x)

They wanna see me gone they wanna see me crawl

They wanna shut me up untill I cant speak at all

They wont let me up they wanna see me fall

But it aint nothing cuz I done seen it all

Sometimes I feel like I cant breathe at all

I lie awake at night I cant sleep at all

I got no strength to fight I cant shake it off

But that's the time in my life when I hear you call

You say hold tight you say hold on

You say it's alright you say stand strong

Cuz my whole life I got a plan and all

So I don't worry about a single thing that happens y'all

Say what you want you can talk on

I'm a get on up and I'm a walk on

Now I ain't giving up until I'm long gone

So why don't you step it up bring it on y'all

You aint never gonna take me down

(so you see I ain't gonna break)

Your never gonna take me down

(you can't stop what you can't stop) (2x)

MTV said I was just a hater

Magazines said I was an imitator

The industry said nobody's gonna take ya

Record labels was like peace out see you later

I didn't need them man I just got

Someone to depend on when it gets hot

So VH1 you can talk all you wanna talk

Keep ya hip-hop and keep ya lip locked

I aint gonna listen now to them talk

I aint switching up and I aint gonna stop

I aint giving up and I aint gonna drop

Even when I just get stuck up in ruff spot

I aint got much but what I just got

You see it's more than I need when I just drop

To my knees and I can see that he shows up

You cant break me down that's some real talk

You aint never gonna take me down

(so you see I ain't gonna break)

Your never gonna take me down

(you can't stop what you can't stop) (2x)

So what you gonna do when it falls apart

Who is the one man that you call upon

When everything that you know keeps going wrong

Plus you feel like you can't keep going on

See I know dukes your barely holding on

They wanna break you down but keep rolling on

They wanna take you down but don't let em y'all

They can't hold you now God's in control

Don't slow it down just walk it off

It aint easy I know sometimes its really hard

Please believe me I know you see I'm battle scarred

With my knees to the floor that how I battle on

Say what you want you can babble on

This I know what I got so I travel on

Don't ever stop that's why I wrote the song

So ready or not now bring the chorus on

You aint never gonna take me down

(so you see I ain't gonna break)

Your never gonna take me down

(you can't stop what you can't stop) (2x)
