Won't Be Defeated ft. Alrice Lyrics

Everything you're looking for is everything you shy away from

That's why you'll never leave the place you're tryna fly away from

My time here is limited that's why I gotta say some

Making stuff that's meaningful cause don't nobody make none

I forged myself inside the darkness of a one bedroom apartment

Now I'm harder than the wood floors I'm tougher than the carpets

Every verse I write I'm always giving fully me

Protecting that inner child you'll never get to bully me

They saying I should give it up because I'm getting old

But I can feel something pulling me it's coming from my soul

One day you're gonna wake and see I got a song with Cole

So maybe you should wait and see the greatest story told

Uh

Who woulda thunk it

The quiet skinny kid in the corner just got it jumping

I know that I'm succeeding if I made you feel something

And showed you anybody can come up from being nothing

Ain't nobody doing nothing like that

I'm alright

I got what I'm needing

I'm just fine

I won't be defeated

I'm alright

That has a new meaning

Let my body know through my soul

Know that I mean it

Oh

Know that I mean it

Yeah yeah

So you can tell by my demeanor I mean it

Life's a movie not a game and I know cause I've seen it

In the past I was just playing now I know I got meaning

I looked within and then I found everything that I'm needing

It feels like everyone is saying what I can't be

But I'm just living by a vision that they can't see

Cause when they think about their dreams they don't see them achieving it

You listen to enough of that you really start believing it

So now I'm wising up and letting go what they expect of me

I'm getting back for all the times they disrespected me

And that includes all the women who rejected me

You want me now but can't have me respectfully

I'm alright

I got what I'm needing

I'm just fine

I won't be defeated

I'm alright

That has a new meaning

Let my body know through my soul

Know that I mean it

Oh

Know that I mean it
