Uh nah nah nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Naah Sometimes I see myself no where I might get drunk and faded Then I remember I was telling me that I should face it I'm scared to death I cannot show you when you're not existing I got too many ways never be less than great Mom I promise I won't back down Carry the world on my shoulder I don't back down Nothing to lose much to prove I don't back down And I take care of the promise I get it right now Even when the lights down I won't back down Carry the world on my shoulder I don't back down Nothing to lose much to prove I don't back down And I take care of the promise I get it right now Even when the lights down We've been hopping over fences over borders just to get a chance Work so hard her chain shining like it's heaven sent Dad was whipping the pan so we could make ends meet Eyes saggy every morning couldn't get no sleep Back in school I had to fight to feel appreciated All them white folks tried to jump me at the train station Got a vision in my mind I just need a bit more time Cause Sometimes I see myself no where I might get drunk and faded Then I remember I was telling me that I should face it I'm scared to death I cannot show you when you're not existing I got too many ways never be less than great Mom I promise I won't back down Carry the world on my shoulder I don't back down Nothing to lose much to prove I don't back down And I take care of the promise I get it right now Even when the lights down I won't back down Carry the world on my shoulder I don't back down Nothing to lose much to prove I don't back down And I take care of the promise I get it right now Even when the lights down Yeah Yeah I will never back down Oh nah nah nah Oh nah nah nah
