Okay, life, was that your best shot?
Come on, pain, man is that all you got?
No, I can't breathe, but I can't stop
Even though I know you're waiting on me to drop
But I just went into beast mode
Level up like I got a cheat code
Rollin' wit the punches, man I eat those
Like I don't know the meaning of defeat
No, you won't keep me
(Down, down)
Oh, no you won't keep me down
(Down, down)
And even if you knock me
(Down, down)
No, I won't stay
(Down, down)
Down, down, down down down
Down down down down
Won't keep me
Down down down down
Won't keep me
Down down down down
Won't keep me
Down down down
I'ma win or learn 'cause a loss ain't an option, no no
I'm willing to die for it, I am not stopping, no no
Preying on my downfall, I can feel you watching, no
You thinking is it really over? Nail in the coffin? But no
I just went into beast mode
Level up like I got a cheat code
Rollin' wit the punches, man I eat those
Like I don't know the meaning of defeat
No, you won't keep me
(Down, down)
Oh, no you won't keep me down
(Down, down)
And even if you knock me
(Down, down)
No, I won't stay
(Down, down)
Down, down, down down down
Won't keep me down
No matter what, no (no matter what, no)
Won't keep me down
Said if you feel like me then sing it (no matter what, no)
(Won't keep me down) if you feel like I feel then sing it
(No matter what, no, won't keep me down) won't keep me down
(Say no matter what, no, won't keep me down) you won't keep me down
Even if you knock me down, no (said I will get up, girl, won't keep me down)
Hey, hey
No, you won't keep me
(Down, down)
Oh, no you won't keep me down, down, down
(Down, down)
And even if you knock me, knock me down
(Down, down)
No, I won't stay
(Down, down)
Down, down, down down down
Won't keep me down
Won't keep me down
