VERSE 1
She had but one sad window for light
The roaches they ruled her home at night
We played til the street lights all came on
Mom would call me home
But neighborhood kids can be so mean
They made her life hell
We formed a team
And walked home together after school
Still they showed their teeth
Only ten but throwin' hate across the blacktop
Rollin deep they had us up against the backstop
Pushin, shovin', yellin'
Soon I heard a fist pop
Enough's enough she couldnt turn the other cheek, she
Stood there flexin with a bully at her feet, the
Crowd fell back in awe as she began to speak

CHORUS
No you cant, cant stop this
You'll find that your'e mistaken
You think that, I've fallen
You cant stop this
No you cant, cant stop this
By now should have noticed
That I will rise again
You cant stop this

VERSE 2
Sigh...
No you cant
Sometimes I look back at that moment
Remember her face
Remeber to always stand my ground
Though enemies, haters gather round
A life lesson that I learned that day
Hold your head up straight
No they'll never see me falter on the back swing
Spittin' venom it dont matter, they cant break me
Lookin through em' on a level they cannot see
Vultures circle it dont matter I'm a fighter
Throwin stones wont break my bones pushes me higher
Odds are stacked I burn it down I bring the fire

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Sigh..
Oh yeah ever since that day
I always hold my head up straight
And

VERSE 2 REPEAT
No they'll never see me falter on the back swing
Spittin' venom it dont matter, they cant break me
Lookin through em' on a level they cannot see
Vultures circle it dont matter I'm a fighter
Throwin stones wont break my bones pushes me higher
Odds are stacked I burn it down I bring the fire

CHORUS
