[Verse 1]

I grew up in a place called Hell

Way down deep where the evil likes to dwell

And you could smell all the trouble in the air

But it's a strange situation 'cause no one seems to care

It's populated by people and combinations of situations

That slowly through time, they start [payin'?]

Everyone's a devil just trying to be God

And for all the wrong reasons and that's why they died

I never cried, but it's all so blurry

That the vision that I'm getting's really making me worry

And if I hurry, then I'm just another rat in a race

I'd rather sit back and lеarn from everybody's mistakes

Plot and plan a way out of this placе

So I can save face before they eliminate me

It's like a quicksand trap and it's up to my chest

And I'm sinkin' so fast, I need help

[Chorus]

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

[Verse 2]

I'm surrounded by nothin' but these walls

Dressed in all orange, waitin' on my phone call

Everyone workin' in here is acting like God

But none of 'em realize that it's just a job

Dropped thirty 'cause I just wouldn't stop

And I'm just sittin' here and all I can see is the cops

This is what it's really coming down to

If you violate, the devil's gonna wanna see you

And if you breathe from a tube and your car won't move

Then the devil's gonna wanna come and see you too

Pick the battles that you really wanna fight

'Cause sometimes, it can land you in Hell overnight

When you're dealin' with the devil, gotta watch your step

'Cause he can really come and get you when you least expect

It's a proven fact, just ask my man Jack

And he just did a year 'cause he got caught with a sack

[Chorus]

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

[Verse 3]

There's a Hell for anybody of any age

Devil don't care if you're scared and afraid

It's time to do something a lot of parents had never did

Find a way to try and talk to these kids

Sit 'em down and try to let 'em know that

The devil don't care if you're white, brown, or black

It's all around knows who frozen and stand still

While the rest escaped from the hand of hate's will

Still, I try to get by without falling

And then maybe, I could put it in drive and stop stallin'

It's a very fine line to walk

But you could do it or get outlined in chalk

You blew it, it ain't cool, it's a shame

Now somebody explain to his moms why they took him away

To see the game, it's a life and a struggle

Of a man who grew up in a hustle (Everybody now!)

[Chorus]

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)

Y'all will never bring me down, you never bring me down

You never bring me down, you never (Bring me down)
