I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes. They lit a fire just to burn me alive. I feel the judgment. I hear the lies, but I wont go down without a fight. I wont go down without a fight. Im not going down. I hear them twist my words & mock everything Im saying. They hope Ill crash & burn but Im here & Im staying. Its like everywhere I turn, my enemies are waiting to hurt me cause theyre hurt, so I keep on praying. I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes. They lit a fire just to burn me alive. I feel the judgment. I hear the lies, but I wont go down without a fight. Im here & Im not leaving until Im finished. With every punch you throw, Ill get back up & go. Hate me, but I never said you had to listen. This story is my own & this light I hold will glow. They stabbed me in the back, but these scars have made me stronger. Always under attack but I cant be conquered. Remind me of what I lack & hope I wont last much longer. Try to push me off track but Ill stay right here with my honor. Im here & Im not leaving until Im finished. With every punch you throw, Ill get back up & go. Hate me, but I never said you had to listen. This story is my own & this light I hold will glow. This light I hold will glow. You should know by now, you cant just push me out. I will not let this go. I might be bruised & beat but I am on my feet. Youll never win this war. This story is my own. With my hands raised up high Ill keep fighting the good fight & I am not alone. This light I hold will glow! Im here & Im not leaving until Im finished. With every punch you throw, Ill get back up & go. Hate me, but I never said you had to listen. This story is my own & this light I hold will glow. This light I hold will glow. I feel the spotlight. I see their eyes. They lit a fire just to burn me alive. I feel the judgment. I hear the lies, but I wont go down without a fight!
