Lyrics

I don't want to be a fighter

I don't want to engage in conflict.

But you've given me no choice

Your actions leave me no alternative.

What you do makes me fire

Your behavior ignites strong emotions in me.

So I have to use my voice

I feel compelled to express myself.


I want something you can't give me

I desire something that you are unable to provide.

And I'm not one to compromise

I don't compromise my principles.

I'm just waiting until you see

I'm patiently waiting for you to realize.

I'm not fooled by your disguise

I see through the facade you present.


I won't back down, no

I will not yield or give up.

I won't back down, no

I will stand my ground firmly.

You're a sinner or a saint

You are either morally flawed or virtuous.

You're a winner or you ain't

Your success is dependent on your choices.

I won't back down, no

I will remain resolute.


You're not taking any chances

You avoid taking risks.

But a chance is all I got

I have only a single opportunity.

And the gifts that you've been granted

Your talents fade when not in a dominant position.

Disappear when you're not on top

Success is fleeting for you.


I've been waiting for this moment

This is the crucial moment I've been anticipating.

I have got nothing to lose

I have nothing to lose in this situation.

Everything that you have shown me

Your actions prompt me to seek the truth.

Has me searching for the truth

I'm searching for genuine understanding.


I won't back down, no

I will stand my ground, unwavering.

I won't back down, no

I will not yield or give up.

You're a sinner or a saint

You are either morally flawed or virtuous.

You're a winner or you ain't

Your success is dependent on your choices.

I won't back down, no

I will remain resolute.


What I touch turns to gold

My influence turns everything into success.

But you'd never know

Your lack of awareness prevents you from seeing my potential.

I could be all you want me to be

I can fulfill your expectations.


I won't back down, no

I will stand my ground, unwavering.

I won't back down, no

I will not yield or give up.

You're a sinner or a saint

You are either morally flawed or virtuous.

You're a winner or you ain't

Your success is dependent on your choices.

I won't back down, no

I will remain resolute.


I won't back down, no

I will not yield or give up.

I won't back down, no

I will stand my ground, unwavering.

I won't back down, no

I will remain resolute.

I won't back down

I will not yield or give up.
