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   Whats 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      I'm gonna take the long road there   If the short way means I'm settling   Because 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      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      Ain't nobody gonna bring me down   Nobody's gonna steal my song   Ain't nobody gonna bring me down   Ain't nobody gonna bring me down   'Cause my boy John "Beatz" got my back   Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
