I have never had an easy life
But I'm not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess it's just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away

I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
No, I'm not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
When I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground

I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin' out of everybody's way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
It's not too long before they find

I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
No, I'm not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
When I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground

I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
No, I'm not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
When I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
