"Won't Back Down" lyrics

Will people ever honest, cause times are changin'
I look around now I see a lot of fake shit
So what is really real, who's got the know how
You wish you knew then, or what you know now
It's kinda hard when the world seems relentless
I'm tryin' 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 it's said and done

You want to take it outside, check it by the signs
I hope you realize we all make mistakes
And it's easy when you lose your head

Far from my instinct, far from the light
People want to talk and they got to get the 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 going down and I just raised the stakes
And I got predictions
I won't back down

They say I got an ego, a real attitude
I'm tryin' to stay focused, they say I'm being rude
You and your politics, you think you're so clever
They say something's the best, I'll have to do it better
Some people play the odds, risk it and roll the dice
I'm quick to put you in your place, won't even think twice
Isn't it funny, you can have all the money
But it won't save you when the tables turn and when the lip is back in

You want to take it outside, check it by the signs
I hope you realize we all make mistakes
And it's easy when you lose your head

Far from my instinct, far from the light
People want to talk and they got to get the 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 going down and I just raised the stakes
And I got predictions
I won't back down

Uh, keep your head up
Uh, keep your head up
Get up

Far from my instinct, far from the light
People want to talk and they got to get the 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 going down and I just raised the stakes
And I got predictions
I won't back down
Far from my instinct, far from the light
People want to talk and they got to get the 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 going down and I just raised the stakes
And I got predictions
I won't back down
