You can't hold me down, down, down, it's my destiny
They try to hold me down, down, down, they will never leave, but it's meant to be
It's 23', I'm hearing melodies I'm a winner, a leader, you can't unsee
They hate me cause I'm what they'll never be If you don't do now, you will soon believe
Focus on yourself, do the best you can If you don't do now, this will never end
You will stay the same, no win, no fail Cause' the winners, yeah, they always change
Not even sixteen, but already seeing What my life will be like if I keep dreaming
Working, I'm working, but only for me Only for me and my family
They see in me, what you'll never see And for that reason, it's only me
I don't need anyone else, just myself You could run a mile for me, babe
Mile for me, but I'm way too far, far away Nothing will change, I'll be in jets way ahead
Next day, you'd love to stick around to me, babe
You can't hold me down, down, down It's my destiny, not a fantasy
They try to hold me down, down, down They will never leave, but it's meant to be
You can always tell when it's meant to be If you're finding yourself in catastrophe
Remember life is a projection of what you're believing to be
Of what you are willing to leave
It's not their fault, they're just unaware of the cost
Sitting in quiet, awaiting applause This is the story, that's where I belong
Let them talk, they don't know any better They be changing, they mood like the weather
They be talking me down, the talk of the town But honestly, why should it matter
The focus is all that I'm keeping The fake ones I be leavin'
My vision is all I believe in, all I'm seeing
You could run a mile for me, babe Mile for me, but I'm way too far, far away
Nothing will change, I'll be in jets way ahead Next day, you'd love to stick around to me, babe
You can't hold me down, down, down It's my destiny, not a fantasy
They try to hold me down, down, down They will never leave, but it's meant to be
