My world has fallen, I’m fallin’ to my knees
Oh, yeah, and now, I feel my hands tremblin’
Oh, Lord, ain’t no promise, I’ll breathe again
But, I won’t back down
For my family, you can ransom me
Had it hard, it broke me to my knees
In the foreign, I’m drivin’ furious like somebody out there after me
My girl got my heart only, my friends, they got my back, we chase money
We together whether it’s storm or sunny
They expect me for to back down, it’s my destiny
And, this might get the best of me
I can’t let you get ahead of us
I’ma have to escort you to ya seat
Through it all, we can’t fail ’cause the plan is for to achieve
I be really needin’ some peace, hopin’ pain quickly leave
I admit, I say I’m fallin’, but for my family, rise up
Plan on completin’ every mission, not before my time up
Inside this car, I get it done, just watch my motor climb up
Protectin’ everyone I love, collect this evil blindness
My world has fallen, I’m fallin’ tho my knees
Woah, yeah, and now, I feel my hands tremblin’
Oh, Lord, ain’t no promise, I’ll breathe again
But, I won’t back down (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But, I won’t back down (Oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah)
And now, I feel my hands tremblin’
Oh, Lord, ain’t no promise, I’ll breathe again
But, I won’t back down
And when my hands get cold, and when I’m on my own
Through the dark, I crawl
And, when my goals feel weak, I will keep runnin’ through the fire (I won’t back down)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
No-no (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, yeah
And now, I feel my hands tremblin’
Oh, Lord, ain’t no promise, I’ll breathe again
But, I won’t back down
