I'm gonna beat you in this human race Hows a guy get out there with so much to face I'm a cat in a cage in a rat parade I should stay at home And know no one I know I can run pretty fast But so can so many people better than that What's wrong with us We've gotta open our doors Sleep on floors And wish for more more more Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Ain't nobody gonna steal my song Ain't nobody gonna bring me down no no no I'm gonna take the long road there If the short way means I'm settling Cause I'm one who takes his victory By his patience and his pride A moment Of this torment Makes it worth it When I see how the story ends I've made it Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Ain't nobody gonna steal my song Ain't nobody gonna bring me down no no no I turn the radio on to the saddest songs The memories haunt me The stereo taunts me I'm turning down the volume Singing my own song Cause I'm so much stronger oh Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Ain't nobody gonna steal my song Ain't nobody gonna bring me down no no Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Cause my boys on beats got my black Ain't nobody gonna bring me down no no no I turn the radio on to the saddest songs The memories haunt me The stereo taunts me I'm turning down the volume Singing my own song Cause I'm so much stronger Hey I'm so much stronger Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Ain't nobody gonna bring me down Ain't nobody gonna bring me down no
