Awe ye alili, awe ye alili, awe ye alili, oh ye, oh my ye
Awe ye alili, awe ye alili, awe ye alili, oh ye, oh my ye
I've been boxing with this beat, yeah, I'm like Ali in his prime
And this good becomes a ring inside, I'm fighting for my life
All of the blood, all of the sweat, so many rivers I have tried
Resurrected by this music, enemies thought I had died
So I murdered them, murdered them, hurting them, killed them in kindness
I got kids to feed, nobody's gonna stop me from grinding
If the creator be for me, then who shall stand?
I'm not scared of you, sorry, I fear no man
Even though I've fallen, fallen, I was helpless like a baby
They saw me crawling, now they see me
Falling, better yet, I'm sorry
Still I rise, yeah, I'm the subject of Maya's poem
You see me now, I get knocked down
But I get up again, this is never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again, nobody can keep me down
I get knocked down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
Better not touch my crown, better, I say, down
I get knocked down
I get up again, this is never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again, nobody can keep me down
I get knocked down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
This is never gonna keep me down
Seven times I fall, eight times I get up
Greatness is the goal, good ain't good enough
Yeah, yeah, the heart inside my chest fits like a Congo robe
And when they ask me why I'm tough, that's that African
Buma, yeah
I'm murdered, I'm murdered
I'm hurting, I'm killing them in kindness
I'm caught from the cross of the king, they should call me your hind
If the creator be for me, then who shall stand?
I'm not scared of you, sorry, I fear no man
Even though I've fallen, darling
I was helpless like a baby
They saw me falling, now they see me falling
Better yet, I'm sorry
Still I rise, yeah, I'm the subject of my exploit
You see me now
I get knocked down
I get up again, this I'm never gonna keep it done
I get knocked down
I get up again, nobody can keep it down
I get knocked down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down
But I touch my crown
I get knocked down
I get up again, this I'm never gonna keep it done
I get knocked down
But I get up again, nobody can keep it down
I get knocked down
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me down




You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
Things are never gonna keep me down
You can't hold me down
Things are never gonna keep me down
You can't hold me, hold me down
You can't hold me down
Hold me, hold me down
Things are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked out, but I get up again
Things are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked out, but I get up again
Nobody can keep me down
I get knocked out
You get holder down, you get holder down
I get knocked out, I get up again
Things are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked out, but I get up again
Nobody can keep me down
I get knocked out
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
Things are never gonna keep me down
Thank you.
