It looks like the system tries to hold me down But guess what? I ain't ******* around You can't deny the pride that I have shown I grind hard and I must hold my own Coming from the gutter It's so hard to get ahead Taking no one's ******** and working for my bread The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground Someday I'll have my peace of mind I'll keep fightin', one day I will find A decent life where self-respect is shown Until then I must hold my own Always under pressure I take things as they come Always looking up, look out for number one! My views got you in check, I never back down, I pack a hard punch, and I always stand my ground I - will not back down Holding my own, I stand my ground You will not break me My belief is my way can't you see? Coming from the gutter It's so hard to get ahead Taking no one's ******** and working for my bread The future don't look positive, the rat race holds me down What a struggle keeping two feet on the ground Never back down
