Won’t Back Down lyrics
by Harry Mack
Chorus
I’m walking tall through the fire
Ten stories up on a wire
I’m risking it all
And I won’t back down again
Take all my worldly possessions
Every single worldly obsession
I’m nervous as hell
But I won’t back down again
Verse 1
I know we never gonna back down
I used to worry “how they thinking that my rap sound”
I used to feel nothing but that fear
Second guess it all when I look in the mirror (trippin)
I would cringe when I heard my songs
Something’s wrong
Ain’t nobody think this sh*t sounds strong
Hope nobody wanna hear it
Was crushing my own spirit
Criticizing myself, demeaning my own lyrics
Like damn, what’s the purpose of me existing
Always looking down yall. I could not resist it
I had that depression and I had that anxiety
But still I could feel a flame burning deep inside of me
I had to find a way that I could push through
Had to take a break from the liquor and the kush too
And now I’m here, my future I see it clear
I’m telling y’all, “Leap and the net will appear”, woah!
Chorus
I’m walking tall through the fire (yeah)
Ten stories up on a wire (no doubt)
I’m risking it all
And I won’t back down again
Take all my worldly possessions (go ahead)
Every single worldly obsession (go ahead)
I’m nervous as hell
But I won’t back down again
Verse 2
Gotta go and get what I deserve
I ain’t never bout to be beat by these nerves
If I’m being real with you, I hit the stage and excel
But when I’m behind the curtain chillin though I’m nervous as hell
Got my tummy in a twist, how can I get in the mix? Man I need some kinda fix. Sometimes I be getting p*ssed like “Damn, Harry, you done did this sh*t a thousand times. Why you still getting nervous to go rock the crowd and rhyme?”
Focus on my breathing, take a deep inhale
Recognize that I’ve never been frail
Always be strong, always gonna carry on, always about to burn like the sun, always gonna get this sh*t done
I’m number one now, saying daily affirmations
When I rock the stage, feedback is confirmation
I’m here for domination, we gon take it to the peak of this. See if then I manifest it just by speaking it, let’s go!
Chorus (Breakdown)
I’m walking tall through the fire
Ten stories up on a wire
I’m risking it all
And I won’t back down again
Take all my worldly possessions
Every single worldly obsession
I’m nervous as hell
But I won’t back down again
Chorus
I’m walking tall through the fire
Ten stories up on a wire
I’m risking it all
And I won’t back down again
Take all my worldly possessions
Every single worldly obsession
I’m nervous as hell
But I won’t back down again
