S.O. - Never Back Down lyrics

[Intro: Thi'sl] Hey PRo, you know which one of these sayings I hate the most cuz? It's when they say "if you scared go to church" I don't know what they talkin' 'bout, cuz I ain't scared [Hook: Derek Minor] Aye you can say what you say but we ain't leaving here today We never back down, never back down And you gon' have to bring them choppers, you want any hope to stop us We never back down, never back down [Verse 1: Derek Minor] Aye listen here boy, I want you to hear me loud and clear You can kick up all the dust you want, but we walk with no fear Now when they merk us in Sudan, lock us up in Pakistan Still ten toes down (what that mean?) stand So I never back down, put that on my momma No way you gon' stop us, you gon' have to pop us We stay unashamed even if you bring them choppers And send this note to Congress, tell them they ain't gon' block us We in your school, in your hood, at your job Boy we move where you move, for the cross we goin' hard See this gospel made us strong, we are nothing on our own Fuego in our bones, and a pyro when I'm on In the face of persecution, what's this that keep us movin'? The fact we bought by Christ, ain't no way that he gon' lose us Stay rooted in this truth, ain't no way you movin' me Till my heart get acappella (what you mean?) … no beat [Hook] [Verse 2: S.O.] Back down? Never, PRo … all with beautiful feet, no room to retreat But speak and let ‘em know, the gospel seed yeah let it grow The blood that leaks comes from the martyrs, now they rest with the Master, so Getting deep once more, here's a start: I love Christ instead of dough Instead of coke, instead of these things the world intentionally bring Grieve when some intentionally leave the scene for some de-moral scheme Me? I'm just a mortal being who's seen the Immortal King How does that sound? Play the background, never back down, but stand for my Lord and sing This may sound boastful, maybe hopeful, but I know a few who ready to die They livin' but they hope too, if Jesus calls they're ready to ride They clingin' to what's close too, but most of us Americanized Preserve the self, like most do, but Jesus taught the opposite side Like those that follow Messiah, truly desire to live a godly life in Christ will go for the fire Persecution will be required But by his grace, we're standing firm up in his word Since we down, no backing down, that's all for now, let's reach the church [Hook] [Verse 3: Thi'sl] You see I never back down, I don't even know how ‘Cause before I do that, I would rather pa** out Take a beating from a hundred people till I black out For the sake of the gospel, homie what your life ‘bout? You see I never never never back down, no never You can bring them guns, bring them choppers, it's what-whatever I done been in a place, gun in my face, stood my ground, they ran like a race Did all of that for the sake of the world, what you think I do now standing in grace? You ain't seen nothing like this before You think that I'm lying, dirty, go and ask the homie PRo They know that it is a problem when we walk up in the door Reach came 40 deep, well I brought a hundred more And none of ‘em back down, we don't even know how You keep thinking this is music, it's about to go down You can bring them guns, bust ‘em, let them things go POW You can say what you want, bring who you want, we don't back down! [Hook]
