You Won't Keep Me Down

LYRICS [VERSE ] I’ve been pushed, I’ve been cornered, tried to carve my way through stone, People swore I’d never make it, tried to claim my fight as their own. Every setback was a lecture, every bruise became a map— But I learned to keep on moving even when the ground would snap. [PRE-CHORUS] Pressure taught me how to breathe when the weight got loud, How to stand inside the storm when the sky pulled down. You tried to lock up my fire, tried to quiet my sound— But hear this now… [CHORUS] You won’t keep me down. I’m done living under your doubt, I’m taking my crown. I bent, but I never broke, and I’m burning out of the ground. Say it loud— You won’t keep me down. [VERSE 2] Every “no” became fuel, every bruise became design, Every door you slammed shut just rerouted my spine. I’m not here for your approval, I’m not begging for place— I built my strength from the moments that tried to erase my name. [PRE-CHORUS] Pressure made me dangerous, clarity made me wild, And I’m done shrinking myself just to keep your smile. If you thought I’d quit for you… look at me now. [CHORUS] You won’t keep me down. I’m done living under your doubt, I’m taking my crown. I bent, but I never broke, and I’m burning out of the ground. Say it loud— You won’t keep me down. [BRIDGE] I used to swallow my truth just to make things smooth, Now I speak like someone who’s got everything to prove. I’m not the version you controlled, I’m the fire you feared— And I’m done disappearing to make you feel clear. [FINAL CHORUS] You won’t keep me down. I rose from every hit, every fall, every doubt in this town. I bent, but I never broke, and nothing’s stopping me now. Say it loud— You won’t keep me down. [OUTRO] You won’t keep me down.
