Intro / Am / G / F / Dm / ( 4 Times )

You were that foundation Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious So afraid, I couldn’t let myself see
That I could never be held Back or up, no, I’ll hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well Forget the rest let them know my hell
Damn, I’m back yep, my soul ain’t sell Kept respect up, the best they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell That I was there, saying

* And these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you
Go, go, go

Test my will, test my heart Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y’all go hard, I go smart How’s that working out for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back unshaken Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known I don’t hold back, I hold my own
I can’t be mapped, I can’t be cloned I can’t C-flat, it ain’t my tone
I can’t fall back, I came too far Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are ‘Cause I was there saying

Instru / Am / ( 8 Times )

No, you can tell ’em all now I don’t back up, I don’t back down
I don’t fold up, and I don’t bow I don’t roll over, don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are Can’t be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far For every time, saying
