The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They held up as long as they could

All those people at my feet

Yeah

I was so smug in my prime

Up at the height of my conceit

Ohhh ... I thought I would never fall

Oh ... I got to tell you all

I got my back up against the wall

you know this ain't the first time

I got my back up against the wall

It's been a long fight

I didn't know I'd have to make .. nooo

And I'm so afraid

It's gonna be more than I can take now baby

You know what I mean

I thought I'd never fall

Oh ... I got to you all

I got my back up against the wall

I ain't jokin ya'll

I got my back against the wall

Sometimes I find myself with my back against the wall

I got my back against the wall

Just like a lot of good people now

They love me all around the world

I can't understand you girl

I wonder why the pure in heart

Oh, they got to have a judgement day

I wonder why

And I wonder what the Lord has made

Now that he plans to throw away

I wonder, what did he really say

I thought I would never fall

Oh ... I got to tell you all

I got my back against the wall

Sometimes you find yourself down on the street

Yeah you do

I got my back against the wall

Sometimes no matter how hard you try

You still take a fall ... oh yeah

I got my back against the wall

Last night I started to cry

And I cried all night long

Yes I did

I got my back against the wall

Last night I started to pray

And I prayed all night long

And thats when I got that feeling ya'll

Down in my soul

It's just a part of life

It's just a part of your life
