Back Down

From the day that I touched down
Knew life was a battle — had to stand out, no background
Bit the bullet, blasted through every locked door
Now I stand tall, mission declared — can't ignore

Held my ground, stated my claim with conviction
'Til they stepped to the side — let a n***a ride with no friction

It's that time again — time to win
Let the world know I came here to swing
And if I swing it right, they gon' love me, baby
But I've learned real quick — ain't no love here, baby

I'm here to win — get it, don't forget it
Y'all talk and talk, but I'm the one who's with it
This game? Cold-blooded drama —
Word to mama, Emma, trauma, dilemma

I'm movin' and groovin' — feet won't fail me
Intuition sharp — yeah, this path done chose me
Readin' your steps, I'm a shadow in motion
You doin' what? I'm already in motion

Don't be mad, I'm just exercisin' my tragedy
Drastically — underdog rhapsody
By any means necessary — holler at me

I ain't gon' back down
Came here to conquer — better hand me that big crown
Ain't no stoppin' — I'm in it, full-on determined
So I ain't gon' back down

Blood, sweat, tears — I got no fears
On my mama, I'll never back down
I'll never back down

Time and time again, y'all clowns make it worse
You wanna win so bad but don't put in the work
My mind's on the game — the game of this life
Didn't choose this path, just sharpened my knife

Full of traps, full of cracks — but I'm no victim
No snoozin', no weepin' — I rise with conviction
Squeezin' this life, every minute I'm breathin'
Early risin', pushin', leapin', achievin'

Buildin' my mental, flexin' brain muscle
Egos shatter when I enter the hustle
Whatever the mind can conceive, it can be
I'm livin' proof — just look at me

I ain't gon' back down
Came here to conquer — better hand me that big crown
Ain't no stoppin' — I'm in it, full-on determined
So I ain't gon' back down

Blood, sweat, tears — I got no fears
On my mama, I'll never back down
I'll never back down

Yeah — this for every underdog grindin'
Climbin', risin', eyes on timin'
You fall down? Get up, go harder
No backin' down — just move smarter
