Otis J - Never Gonna lyrics

[HOOK] Try hard as you can I'm gonna rise up Gonna keep marching on and pick my stride up Time to swallow your pride and realize You're never gonna bring me down Give it your best and it won't even leave a mark Match my flame bet you can't even make a spark Time to swallow your pride come out the dark You're never gonna bring me down [VERSE 1: Otis J] I know the places that I wanna be But it seems you're right there tryna stop me Blocking my direction, unwanted like infection I'm building my protection to keep you from me You think you'll make me crack You're failing so get back You struck me through the middle, it hurt me just a little But I figured out your riddles and I keep on coming back You're always tryna fight me, don't like yo just bite me Your jealousy excites me when you wanna be just like me You'll strengthen the game but you ain't tough Keep all your torture cos I've had enough Tryna make me go back to the guy I was But that ain't never gonna happen no because [HOOK] Try hard as you can I'm gonna rise up Gonna keep marching on and pick my stride up Time to swallow your pride and realize You're never gonna bring me down Give it your best and it won't even leave a mark Match my flame bet you can't even make a spark Time to swallow your pride come out the dark You're never gonna bring me down [VERSE 2: Mizer] f** all the teachers, the preachers and all that All the big G's bringin' beef to the doormat Expect me to fall flat yeah cos the war's back See another k**in' but you never really saw that All the fine things in life I couldn't afford that Mixed with the wrong peeps packin' more heats Than the whole streets now I'm on beats and you know that Feelin' lost, Show me the road map Ever since a teeny, stepfather beat me Couldn't defeat me, s** out and eat me Always on the go, go, keep it on the low, low Chased by the Po-Po, but I'm too greazy Sorry mums I couldn't make life easy I really tried you gotta believe me I know I gotta make a change in my life Or end up a B-Cat where no one will see me [HOOK] Try hard as you can I'm gonna rise up Gonna keep marching on and pick my stride up Time to swallow your pride and realize You're never gonna bring me down Give it your best and it won't even leave a mark Match my flame bet you can't even make a spark Time to swallow your pride come out the dark You're never gonna bring me down [BRIDGE: Otis J] You see you're never gonna bring me down Never gonna bring me down No, no, no oh You're never gonna bring me down You're never gonna bring me down [HOOK] Try hard as you can I'm gonna rise up Gonna keep marching on and pick my stride up Time to swallow your pride and realize You're never gonna bring me down (Never gonna bring me down) Give it your best and it won't even leave a mark Match my flame bet you can't even make a spark (Can't even make a spark) Time to swallow your pride come out the dark You're never gonna bring me down (Never no) Try hard as you can I'm gonna rise up (Never gonna happen no, no, no, no) Gonna keep marching on and pick my stride up Time to swallow your pride and realize You're never gonna bring me down (It ain't gonna happen no, no, no, no) Give it your best and it won't even leave a mark (Leave a mark) Match my flame bet you can't even make a spark (Can't even make a spark) Time to swallow your pride come out the dark You're never gonna bring me down Never gonna bring me down, no, no, no, no, no You see it ain't gonna happen no No, no, you're never gonna bring me down
