Back Down (Produced by Anno Domini)

Cypher Entry

 

(Verse 1)

 

There’s been so many times I’ve been tested n questioned

Always on the hard side of life’s many lessons

All the signs were there but I couldn’t see the message

Kept pushin’ my luck investing in aggression

I had to keep to going no way I’ll take a loss

I’m a man on mission just trying to reach the top

Cuz living at the bottom has got me pissed off

Now I use hip-hop to express my thoughts

When it comes to gettin’ famous do I really got a shot

In all reality, eh, probably not

But it ain't about the glory this about me

N getting shit off my chest before I scream

Lost in this nightmare called the American dream

Now I’m making my mark before I leave

 

(Hook)

 

I done came too far, now, I can’t back down

Never claimed to be hard, still, I can’t back down

You can try to test my pride but I won’t back down

I’m just livin’ my life and I can’t back down

I’ll stand and I’ll fight but I won’t back down

I’m never backing out and I’m never backing down

 

(Verse 2)

 

You know when I first started the haters said I couldn’t flow

Didn’t take long before I stole the show

I Put the game on my back and I flexed like The Hulk

Watched my clothes rip as I took control

Just another whiteboy with something to prove

Why the hell not I’ve got nothing to lose

I’m a child of abuse, no name clothes and off brand shoes

I got bullied in school but that lit my fuse

Now I’m too cool and I’ve paid my dues

Never been confused bout my place in life

Never been afraid to lose a fight

At the end of the night I’ll be alright

I’ll sit n I’ll write, rhyme and recite

Til I get shit right get it off my mind

I’mma get what’s mine in all due time

Cuz

 

(Hook)

 

I done came too far, now, I can’t back down

Never claimed to be hard, still, I can’t back down

You can try to test my pride but I won’t back down

I’m just livin’ my life and I can’t back down

I’ll stand and I’ll fight but I won’t back down

I’m never backing out and I’m never backing down

 

(Verse 3)

 

I’ve been told I should settle

I just couldn’t do it; I knew I’d regret it

It’s not about, the chase for cheddar

I simply wanna make, my life better

Storm through the weather

Staying tough like leather

Trying to keep it together

Keep my mind intact

Calculate my options then react

Now you gotta face facts my rap’s abstract

An insomniac, who’s got a mind so much sharper than the point of a tack

So just for the record when we arrive at

The point of attack

I’ll hold no mercy towards any of those who have stabbed me in the back

We’ve all fallen down it’s what you do when you get back up

I’ve got no love once I been snubbed

We’ve all been known to carry a grudge

How can I be content when there’s so many things I still resent

This ain’t Gods intent

If I remember correctly Jesus was sent

To forgive us our burdens

I don’t know about you but I’m damn sure determined

To take this life and make it all worth it

My past has passed it don’t matter now

After all I’ve seen there ain’t nothin’ in that can back me down

 

(Hook)

 

I done came too far, now, I can’t back down

Never claimed to be hard, still, I can’t back down

You can try to test my pride but I won’t back down

I’m just livin’ my life and I can’t back down

I’ll stand and I’ll fight but I won’t back down

I’m never backing out and I’m never backing down

 

You all need to back up
