Started from the top and made my way to the bottom

Now I'm on my way back up scratching and clawing

At every opportunity that comes my way

Man, I'm dead tired from trying to stay ahead of the game

It's a cold world out there when you're falling behind

And nobody wants to back you because you're a failure in their mind

So I light one up, crank a beat and ignite on 'em

Finish with a "fuck you all" and drop the mic on 'em

If you've had enough of being run into the ground

If you're sick of feeling like you're about to drown

Scream it with me, say it loud and proud

You can't make me bow down

We've been running from these problems that we can't escape from

We've been tryna find a way to get away

From these motherfuckers who think they control us

But you can't make me bow down

Get out of my way and stay in your lane

Cause we are not the same

Every day I fight off superior influence

My moral compass is not to be tampered with

Don't expect me to flip flop like a fish

If you've had enough of being run into the ground

If you're sick of feeling like you're about to drown

Scream it with me, say it loud and proud

You can't make me bow down

We've been running from these problems that we can't escape from

We've been tryna find a way to get away

From these motherfuckers who think they control us

But you can't make me bow down

There's a voice in my head telling me that my time's up

You already failed kid, you shouldn't even have signed up

There's levels to this game and you ain't ready to play

Besides, nobody wants to hear anything that you have to say

Fuck that noise, time to dust the mic off

And jump on stage, man I'm taking right off

It's Wylkez motherfucker, put your hands together

Come one, come all and bow down, better late than never

Catch us fighting demons, inner and outside

There's a good side to me, in which you can confide

If you wanna tag along, I can take you for a ride

But I just can't promise you that you'll like what will unwind

Break me down until there's nothing left

Break me down until I'm fucking dead

I'm breaking down and there's nothing I can do

But I'll never bow down to a force that weakens you

If you've had enough of being run into the ground

If you're sick of feeling like you're about to drown

Scream it with me, say it loud and proud

You can't make me bow down

We've been running from these problems that we can't escape from

We've been tryna find a way to get away

From these motherfuckers who think they control us

But you can't make me

Break me down until there's nothing left

Break me down until I'm fucking dead

I'm breaking down and there's nothing I can do but say

"Fuck it and live" and hopefully die the way I want to

If you've had enough of being run into the ground

If you're sick of feeling like you're about to drown

Scream it with me, say it loud and proud

You can't make me bow down
