Won’t Back Down - Intellectual

[Chorus - Joel Woods]

I'm falling on my knees

Please forgive me

I'm begging for mercy

Please release me

Fighting for my sould right now

Im tired, but I won't back down

Tired but I won't back down

[Verse 1 - Lucidious]

Yeah

Ain't nothing worse

When you fall face down in rut can't come back now with your two feet first

Try to speak out, but your voice ain't heard

I know you hurt

I see that pain

Wake up, but the cycle won't change

I figured out that's how depressions made

Sit still, slow down look shame in the face

Look right to the demon that was making me

Become a list of the things that I hate to see

I did it angrily, lost myself found out that really ain't the way to be

I'm grateful that I fell down on the way up

And I don't need to say much

No longer feel that I hate love

I just keep to myself and I won't judge

[PreChorus - Joel Woods]

All I ever wanted was to feel alive

I been too afraid to open up my eyes

Only a moment of pain can show me why

There's so much here to live for

[Chorus - Joel Woods]

I'm falling on my knees

Please forgive me

I'm begging for mercy

Please release me

Fighting for my sould right now

Im tired, but I won't back down

Tired but I won't back down

[Verse 2 - Hi-Rez]

I was getting so used to the dark

My family and friends and my life all falling apart

Shit that was easy becoming so hard

Still haven't left down my guard

Living with these walls up

Chasing that false love

I got so caught up in trying to get bossed up

I just got lost bruh

I was drowning in pills and liquor

That shit made sicker, thank god for his signs

'Cause if I kept living the way I was living I probably wouldn't be here and alive

Used to be tired, burnt out and depressed

Now I'm so blessed motivated with drive

Ashamed of my past, living so fast

Not caring who riding with me 'till I die

Love when I'm here

Don't just miss me when I'm gone

I was all alone when all that shit was going on

All these snakes around me

Had to cut my lawn

Thank god for getting me through that

Let's hear an applause

Rez

[PreChorus - Joel Woods]

All I ever wanted was to feel alive

I been too afraid to open up my eyes

All I ever wanted was to feel alive

I been too afraid to open up my eyes

[Chorus - Joel Woods]

I'm falling on my knees

Please forgive me (please forgive me)

I'm begging for mercy (please)

Please release me (show me mercy)

Fighting for my sould right now

Im tired, but I won't back down

Tired but I won't back down
