Won't Back Down

(album: Beauty In The Darkness - 2023)

[Joel Woods:]
I'm falling on my knees
Please forgive me
I'm begging for mercy
Please release me
Fighting for my sould right now
Fighting for my sould right now
I'm tired, but I won't back down
Tired but I won't back down

[Lucidious:]
Yeah
Ain't nothing worse
When you fall face down in rut can't come back now with your two feet first
Try to speak out, but your voice ain't heard
I know you hurt
I see that pain
Wake up, but the cycle won't change
I figured out that's how depressions made
Sit still, slow down look shame in the face

Look right to the demon that was making me
Become a list of the things that I hate to see
I did it angrily, lost myself found out that really ain't the way to be
I'm grateful that I fell down on the way up
And I don't need to say much
No longer feel that I hate love
I just keep to myself and I won't judge

[Joel Woods:]
All I ever wanted was to feel alive
I been too afraid to open up my eyes
Only a moment of pain can show me why
There's so much here to live for

I'm falling on my knees
Please forgive me
I'm begging for mercy
Please release me
Fighting for my sould right now
Fighting for my sould right now
I'm tired, but I won't back down
Tired but I won't back down

[Hi-Rez:]
Ay
I was getting so used to the dark
My family and friends and my life all falling apart
Shit that was easy becoming so hard
Still haven't left down my guard
Living with these walls up
Chasing that false love
I got so caught up in trying to get bossed up
I just got lost bruh

I was drowning in pills and liquor
That shit made sicker, thank God for his signs
'Cause if I kept living the way I was living I probably wouldn't be here and alive
Used to be tired, burnt ou and depressed
Now I'm blessed motivated with drive
Ashamed of my past, living so fast
Not caring who riding with me 'till I die

Love when I'm here
Don't just miss me when I'm gone
I was all alone when all that shit was going on
All these snakes around me
Had to cut may lawn
Thank God for getting me through that
Let's hear an applause
Rez

[Joel Woods:]
All I ever wanted was to feel alive
I been too afraid to open up my eyes
All I ever wanted was to feel alive
I been too afraid to open up my eyes

I'm falling on my knees
Please forgive me (please forgive me)
I'm begging for mercy (please)
Please release me (show me mercy)
Fighting for my sould right now
Fighting for my sould right now
I'm tired, but I won't back down
Tired but I won't back down
