They tell me to be patient
Just keep on singing soon the world will get to know
But it gets real hard
To keep the faith
The more you try and try but still they're saying no.

Lately Ive been doing things
I don't wanna be doing
But these bills are pilling up
And i gotta do something
But through it all
I know for sure
That this here wont keep me down for long

And i'm gonna keep rising
(Rising, rising)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
And i'm gonna be shining
(Shining, shining)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
It's just a matter of time till my names in lights
Coz this can't keep me down for long
Still staying on my grind
Soon it'll be my time
Coz this can't keep me down
Coz this can't keep me down

Its gets hard to follow your dreams
When all around all you see is reality
Even your so called friends wanna see you fall
Just can't get away from negativity
Just coz they cant
Don't mean that you cant do it
They just wanna put you down
Make you believe you can't do it
But through it all I know for sure
That this here wont keep me down for long

And i'm gonna keep rising
(Rising, rising)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
And i'm gonna be shining
(Shining, shining)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
It's just a matter of time till my names in lights
Coz this can't keep me down for long
Still staying on my grind
Soon it'll be my time
Coz this can't keep me down
Coz this can't keep me down

I know one of these days
Everything's gon' change yeah
Through all the storms that I face
Finally I will say I done made it
I know one of these days
I hear people screaming my name ah
I got a feeling in my soul that
It won't keep me down too long

Coz this can't keep me down for long
Coz this can't keep me down for long
Change is gone come
Coz this can't keep me down for long
Brighter than the sun
Coz this can't keep me down
Coz this can't keep me down

And i'm gonna keep rising
(Rising, rising)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
And i'm gonna be shining
(Shining, shining)
Coz this can't keep me down for long
It's just a matter of time till my names in lights
Coz this can't keep me down for long
Still staying on my grind
Soon it'll be my time, and your time, and our time
Coz this can't keep me down
For long
