Chorus Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Cuz if you let em, they will take you down Verse 1 The present presents the problem Of drama and teen mamas And babies without fathers And daughters without water ...Thirst! And what makes things worst Is a whole Obama later Inner citys still cursed The last shall be first And whats asked shall be heard Then the masses reverse Back to passionate words The class is unnerved As compassion is served Were aghast at our past But our asses preserve ...And I do it for yall We partners in this struggle No matter you big or small ...Gotta always stand tall I grew up just like you And would never let you fall ...I would never let you fail Would never glorify or lie so I could sell Cant ever let em break you down Cuz if you let em They will break you down! Chorus Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Cuz if you let em, they will take you down Verse 2 YES!!!!! ...You wit that throw you hands up And flash your middle fingers Cuz theyll never understand us The brightest lights have to make it thru the darkest nights Twice... ...And thats the reason that the artist writes ...To help those dealing with the hardest plight To give heart to the heartless On my mamas life Thats why the bird sings So he can take flight By his own wings And reach the highest heights ...And you can too Never let nobody tell you what you cant do Even if you gotta kick it like Fu Manchu And be villain Be willing Long as the earths spinning Then you got a chance at winning A chance is what you make it A winner might fall But stands tall so he can face it Dont ever let em break you down Cuz if you let em They will break you down! Chorus Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Cuz if you let em, they will take you down Bridge They wont win Cuz I wont lose I worked too hard I paid my dues Dont ever let em break you down Cuz if you let em, they will break you down! They wont win Cuz we wont lose We worked too hard We paid our dues Cant ever let em break us down Cuz if we let em they will break us down Chorus Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Never let em break you down Cuz if you let em, they will take you down
break, em, cuz, never, worked
