[Verse 1]

We're people ever honest, 'cause times are changing

I look around now, and see a lot of fake shit

So what is really real whose got the know how

You wish you new then, what you know now

It's kinda hard when the world seems relentless

I try to make it happen they say I'm selfish

Some people point their fingers they get up in my face

You want trouble well you've come to the right place

Ready to rumble at last it happens so fast

Some people take up space some people state the facts

Built for heavy loads, fine tuned for the long run

Givin' you a chance to back out before its said and done

You want to take it outside check your vital signs

I hope you realize we all make mistakes

And it's easy when you loose your head

[Chorus]

Far from my instinct far from my light

People want to talk cause they gotta get there hype

I'll stand here and fight cause I don't want to swallow

My pride

I won't back down

Can't turn around it's already too late, you know it's

Goin' down and I just raised the stakes, and I got

Predictions

I won't back down

[Verse 2]

They say I got an ego, a real attitude

I try to stay focused they say I'm being rude

You and your politics you think your so clever

They say something's the best I'll have to do it better

Some people play the odds risk it and roll dice

I'm quick to put you in your place won't even think

Twice

Isn't it funny you could have all the money but it

Won't save

You when the tables turnin' when earnin' respect can

You want to take it outside check your vital signs

I hope you realize we all make mistakes

And it's easy when you loose your head

[Chorus]

Far from my instinct far from my light

People want to talk cause they gotta get there hype

I'll stand here and fight cause I don't want to swallow

My pride

I won't back down

Can't turn around it's already too late, you know it's

Goin' down and I just raised the stakes, and I got

Predictions

I won't back down

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Far from my instinct far from my light

People want to talk cause they gotta get there hype

I'll stand here and fight cause I don't want to swallow

My pride

I won't back down

Can't turn around it's already too late, you know it's

Goin' down and I just raised the stakes, and I got

Predictions

I won't back down

Far from my instinct far from my light

People want to talk cause they gotta get there hype

I'll stand here and fight cause I don't want to swallow

My pride

I won't back down

Can't turn around it's already too late, you know it's

Goin' down and I just raised the stakes, and I got

Predictions

I won't back down
