Never Going Down

[Intro] Yeah You know this [Verse 1] Went to school to learn, I had to leave Knew exactly what I had to be They try to break me and take my dream But they can’t shake me now, I’m out and I’m free Told me I could never have success Told me I would never make progress Next to the rest they would treat me as less Forget your tests, I’m way more blessed My way was right from the start, straight from the heart Who you are is a part of the future People try to control you, hold you The score in the goal’s where they can’t own you Who’d have known I’d have been who I am Life with the struggles and troubles made me who I am God had a plan, I ran when you walked Now you’re stuck in the sand and now look where I am [Chorus] Never going down Never thought I could do this Better hear me now Yeah, come and hear me now I don’t got to shout Nah, I kill ‘em when I prove this Better hear me now Yeah, y’all better hear me now [Post-Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, ay Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey [Verse 2] Little girl, don’t cry, dry the tears from your eyes Spread your wings, one day you’ll fly Little girl, have faith, be patient and wait Don’t you know these things take time? They don’t understand what a genius demands What they got on their hands, worthwhile They don’t see who you are, nothin’ that is so hot Do it, stop, sit back and smile Practice it perfect, don’t let ‘em say it ain’t worth it Get your rewards, you deserve it Haters will curse it, nervous the fact you determined You earned it, now they feel worthless Damn, have no regrets Laugh at the threats ‘cause you know they gon’ lose their bets Go, take due respect, glad that I left Life ain’t a game, it’s a test [Chorus] Never going down Never thought I could do this Better hear me now Yeah, come and hear me now I don’t got to shout Nah, I kill ‘em when I prove this Better hear me now Yeah, y’all better hear me now [Post-Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, ay Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey [Verse 3] Where will I be in 10 years’ time? Music, movies, my own clothes line Last in the class, but writin’ my rhymes While you sat at the back of the welfare line Where am I at? What I have right now? Sitcom signed with my album out You still livin’ in your parents’ house Tryin’ to lose the addiction you found They tried to say I was unrealistic Misdirected, no perspective I tried to tell them, they ain’t interested My way, your way, tried it, test it Who did the best thing? How few is the math? You all at school ‘cause I choose my path I’ma laugh, you sad with the life that you have But I can’t look back, I’m havin’ a blast [Chorus] Never going down Never thought I could do this Better hear me now Yeah, come and hear me now I don’t got to shout Nah, I kill ‘em when I prove this Better hear me now Yeah, y’all better hear me now [Post-Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, hey [Outro] Na, na Na, na, na, na Na, na Na, na, na
