[Hook: Tiah]

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

'Cause we're running this town

Yeah, we're running this town

'Cause we're running this town, oh

Yeah, we're running this town, yeah

[Verse 1: Daredevill]

We're running this town, err' day is a race

Check my Adidas sneakers on the paper chase

Different circumstances, equal chances

That's not a case, on a different pace, hey

I live a real life that I can't even fake (Fake)

I got to face err' day that I wake (Wake)

One life for sure that's not a mistake ('Take)

I transform this bread into a cake (Cake)

Now they're tryina put us down err' time they come around

But my people too strong, they can never shoot us down

Haters can't figure nothin' out

The music that we do reflects who we're about

We're far from them, far from the wannabes

I can lock 'em out, finally I got the keys

My heart has peace, my mind is at ease

Is that real hard for all these folks to see?

[Hook: Tiah]

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

'Cause we're running this town

Yeah, we're running this town

'Cause we're running this town, oh

Yeah, we're running this town, yeah

[Verse 2: Daredevill]

I stay fly, flying with my homies

Scheming err' day, ain't nothing that can hold me

I get down, down on my knees

Praying to the most high for the better days

Life ain't easy, gotta try real hard

We made it this far, now I'm a star

I gave the game light, the respirator

I gave the game life, this is real tight

They're blocking err' thing but we go hard and penetrate

Get a second chance you gotta take it don't hesitate

In life, you just need to meditate

Support the real and never get down with the fake

Lift a few weights if you wanna be strong

Spit from the heart, you can never go wrong

Never back down, run this town

A dead-end street is a place to turn around

[Hook: Tiah]

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

'Cause we're running this town

Yeah, we're running this town

'Cause we're running this town, oh

Yeah, we're running this town, yeah

[Bridge: Tiah]

Every other day they say there ain't no way you'll make it, no way

But I keep my head up, gotta get this make up, hey

I'm a hustler, gotta put that cake up

Take a look at me now, I can back that up

[Hook: Tiah]

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

You cannot ever put us down

'Cause we're running this town

Yeah, we're running this town

'Cause we're running this town, oh

Yeah, we're running this town, yeah
