Nobody

Can't nobody hold me down,

Can't nobody take my pride,

Oh no,

You gonna keep on losing

Can't nobody hold me down

Can't nobody stop my stride

Oh no,

Probably best to just keep on movin

Yeah, I came from the bottom where they said I'd stay

Family turned their backs, watched 'em all walk away

Talkin' down on my name, said I wouldn't make it

Plotted on my downfall, thought they had me faded

But I kept my head up when the world got heavy

Turned pain into power, now the engine ready

They was hopin' I'd break, hopin' I'd fold

But I'm cut from a different cloth, heart made of gold

Through the storm and the rain, I kept believin'

When the lights went dark, I was still breathin'

Now they see me on the rise, yeah they see me glow

Mad 'cause I'm winnin' and it starting to show

Can't nobody hold me down,

Can't nobody take my pride,

Oh no,

You gonna keep on losing

Can't nobody hold me down

Can't nobody stop my stride

Oh no,

Probably best to just keep on movin

They said I was finished, said I was done

But I'm just getting started, number one

Built this from the mud, brick by brick

While they was throwin' stones, I learned to be thick

Skinned, yeah I took every hit they threw

Turned it into lessons, now I got the blueprint too

No handouts, no help, just me and my grind

When the odds was against me, I still shined

Now they watching from the sideline, mad that I'm flyin'

Used to doubt my vision, now they see me climbin'

To the top of the mountain where the air is thin

They tried to box me in, but I broke the pen

When the night gets dark and you all alone

Remember who you are, remember you strong

They can't take your spirit, they can't take your soul

Keep pushin' forward, that's the only goal

Believe in yourself when they don't believe

That's when you achieve, that's when you succeed

Keep on movin', don't you ever stop

Rise to the top, rise to the top

Can't nobody hold me down,

Can't nobody take my pride,

Oh no,

You gonna keep on losing

Can't nobody hold me down

Can't nobody stop my stride

Oh no,

Probably best to just keep on movin

Yeah... this for everybody who ever been counted out

For everybody who had to do it alone

Remember... can't nobody hold you down

Keep on movin'... I’m out.
