Made my mind up down by the river
Faced myself in the water
I will rise, I’ma stand and deliver
I can’t hide any longer
it's been a long time comin', and I
Keep it runnin and I
Make the money and the world go ‘round
Ain’t for nothin’
I’ma keep a-stuntin’
ain’t nobody gonna hold me down
Never ever ever gonna kill my fire
never ever ever gonna lose this high
everything I do I’m gonna make it mine
mine all mine
Stand up, stand up
Never ever ever gonna lose control
never ever ever, so help my soul
everything I do is worth its weight in gold
don’t I know
Stand up, stand up
15 years swimmin’ up from the bottom
Paid my dues to the dirt
All my scars, well I’m proud that I got ‘em
There’s glory hidin’ in the hurt
it's been a long time comin', and I
Keep it runnin and I
Make the money and the world go ‘round
Ain’t for nothin’
I’ma keep a-stuntin’
ain’t nobody gonna hold me down
