Never Gonna Come Down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Yeah, never move, never flinch
Been through hell to get here, I ain't givin' up a inch
You weren't there before I ever wrote a verse
Had to hop on the train just to make my way to work
No home, no license at all
No phone, who cares, I had no one to call
Work so hard, I had drive like a car
Been through every season but I never seen the fall
Autumn don't come too often for me
And when the wind blows, I don't fall off the tree
I don't burn like the leaves, I just grow like the spring
Never fold or retreat, hold it down like a G
Yeah, always win like a three-peat
Put my music on repeat
Been down, came back around, made it to the top
Now they all line up just to see me
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Most people been to hell and back, I went to hell and stayed there
Caught my jacket on a branch and waited in the flames, scared
Demons started closin' in and devils never play fair
I made it out alive, I ain't the same, now I got grey hair
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger if you're tough enough
It's hard to comprehend when you consider even metal rusts
Uh, you still gotta thug it out
I ain't gettin' out the water, fight the sharks 'til I drown
Never run away from nothin', I'm a man, that's how it has to be
I'll only leave to lead the evil away from my family
The alcohol and partying have obviously damaged me
But I ain't givin' up, you'd have to kill me to cancel me
None of us are gettin' out alive, man, that's real, true
The first cut is the worst, but they all feel new
Tough times don't last, tough people do
And you got the vision, just go see it through
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
I've been climbing to the moon right now, I'm deep inside the clouds
People crowding 'round my ladder, shaking it to bring me down
Don't need an army, I'm a soldier, packed a million different rounds
When I finally blow the motor, then my feet will hit the ground
And I'ma run like I ain't never run before in my life
Like I'm fourteen, drunk and jumpin' fences all night
'Cause a warrior's destiny doesn't end with a fight
It makes him stronger than he's ever been before in his life
My life go brighter than a light pole, you should know
I'm cooler than what's cool, ice cold
I don't break down, I just hit the ground, I'm runnin'
Ever since a youngin', always kept it a hundred
Look, I don't know the speed limit, only time I look back
Is just to see what we did, I'm writin' a book
You don't get to read it 'cause I sing it in these hooks
But you know it when you hear it in my voice, they all look
Never gonna come down (never, never, never, never)
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down (never, ever, ever, ever)
Never gonna break down (know what I mean? Like)
