Not Gonna Stop

Tekst utworu

**[Intro] [Low building]** Yeah... You pushed too far. You had your chance. Now watch me stand. **[Verse 1]** I bit my tongue while you crossed every line, Kept swallowing rage like I had all the time, You took my patience, tried breaking my spine, But every scar you gave me made the fire mine. I heard every word, every laugh, every lie, Every time you told me just to fall back in line, Well, something inside me just opened its eyes— You wanted me buried? **I CAME BACK ALIVE!** **[Pre-Chorus]** No more bending! No more shame! No more letting you decide my name! You wanted silence— You wanted fear— Well everybody better listen now... **I'M STILL HERE!** **[CHORUS] [Huge] [Crowd Chant]** **I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** Kick that fear right through the door! Hands up high, let the whole world know— You can knock me down, but I WON'T STAY LOW! **I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** Feel the ground shake under the floor! If you're sick and tired of being ignored— GET ON YOUR FEET! **WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE!** **[Verse 2] [Faster] [Rap-Rock]** Look— I've been pushed, I've been used, I've been dragged through the dirt, Had a smile on my face while I'm hiding the hurt, Everybody's got a limit, everybody can break, But sometimes breaking is the moment you WAKE! Now the pressure's rising, heartbeat racing, Whole damn room gonna feel what I'm facing, No more chains, no more waiting, No more standing there while somebody takes it! This is for the ones pushed into the wall, The ones nobody noticed, nobody called, The ones who got told they were nothing at all— Stand up. Stand tall. **LET 'EM HEAR US ALL!** **[Pre-Chorus]** No more bending! No more shame! No more letting them decide your name! They wanted silence— They wanted fear— Everybody in the building scream... **WE'RE STILL HERE!** **[CHORUS]** **WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** Kick that fear right through the door! Hands up high, let the whole world know— You can knock us down, but WE WON'T STAY LOW! **WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** Feel the ground shake under the floor! If you're sick and tired of being ignored— GET ON YOUR FEET! **WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE!** **[Breakdown] [Half-Time] [Heavy]** How many times Did they tell you... **SIT DOWN!** **SHUT UP!** **KNOW YOUR PLACE!** How many times Did you hide everything Behind a straight face? Well— **NOT!** **ONE!** **MORE!** **DAY!** Rip the lock off the cage! **NOT!** **ONE!** **MORE!** **WORD!** We got something to say! **[Bridge] [Starts Clean] [Builds]** I spent too long believing That surviving meant staying quiet. But there's a difference between peace... And being afraid to start a riot. So if your heart is still beating, If you've got anything left inside, Take every reason they gave you to quit... AND TURN IT INTO A BATTLE CRY! **[Massive] [Final Chorus]** **I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** I know exactly what I'm fighting for! Raise your fists till your arms get sore— LET ME HEAR YOU! **NOT ANYMORE!** **WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!** Ten thousand voices becoming a roar! From the back of the room to the front of the floor— **GET!** **ON!** **YOUR!** **FEET!** **WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE!** **[Crowd Chant]** NOT! ANY! MORE! NOT! ANY! MORE! NOT! ANY! MORE! **WE'RE NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE!** **[Outro] [Screamed]** You wanted me broken— **I BUILT MYSELF STRONGER!** You wanted me silent— **NOW I'M GETTING LOUDER!** You thought I was finished— **I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!** **NOT. ANY. MORE.**
