Vilatize - In the Dust

Yo, man check this guy out
What, where?
This one, comin' up now
(Where?, Oh that one)
Wait, did he just flip us off?
Nah, nah, nah, nah. nah, nah
Bro just let it go, let it go
You gotta put that behind you
Start fresh, do you, look after yourself, man
Nobody else is going to look after you
You need to learn to love yourself
Just go, do you, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks
As long as you're happy and in control of your own life
That's what matters
Yeah

No, It's not how you fall down
It's how you get back up
It's putting your foot down
When you've had enough
We're not gonna slow down
Not gonna back down
Gonna get back up
And go back to the hoedown
Do it on our own now
We could scream and shout
Complain we're all alone now
But when the going gets tough
And you feel you've had enough
Put the pedal to the metal
Leave the struggle in the dust

Lookin' better now with the world at my feet
Yeah, forget about the doubt I'm busy being me
I can tell you all about how I've been all week
But I ain't gonna bore you with the same story
It's time to put one foot forward
I wont' hold back no more
Had my back to the wall
For way too long without control
I'm jumping right out, lift you up right now
I've never seen clearer, I've broken right down
But I got back up, rising up to the top
I won't give up, I'm not gonna stop
I've switched up the gears, give or take a couple years
It took me a little to get on top of it
Coming up from the rear with the man in the mirror
We're here to begin our own reign of terror

No, It's not how you fall down
It's how you get back up
It's putting your foot down
When you've had enough
We're not gonna slow down
Not gonna back down
Gonna get back up
And go back to the hoedown
Do it on our own now
We could scream and shout
Complain we're all alone now
But when the going gets tough
And you feel you've had enough
Put the pedal to the metal
Leave the struggle in the dust

It's broken me down, had me drop to my knees
Had me staring at myself while I picked myself to pieces
Man, what am I doing here? I'm rocking on the bathroom floor
Staring at this head I've never seen before
Inside I'm feeling fed up, can't take it anymore
Anxiety is pent up, I'm in my own war
This ain't what I've ordered, I've paid for it
No, I wouldn't take it back, it's been an important
Part of the journey, take a look at me now
See, it's too easy
Flowing through life anything but breezy
I'm here to tell you, you can flip it round, you see
I've been there, I've come back
Still standing with my life intact
I'll give my all, won't give no less
I'm gunning for it all, call me kind of obsessed

No, It's not how you fall down
It's how you get back up
It's putting your foot down
When you've had enough
We're not gonna slow down
Not gonna back down
Gonna get back up
And go back to the hoedown
Do it on our own now
We could scream and shout
Complain we're all alone now
But when the going gets tough
And you feel you've had enough
Put the pedal to the metal
Leave the struggle in the dust

Heading to the top, coming up from the bottom
There's no way you will stop me, no doubt I'm up and coming
I will soar like an eagle, stimulate the ego
standing up on top of the world, now, here we go
Turn it up a little bit, know time is imminent
I do it for you all, nah, I do it for the thrill of it
Picking up the ball 'cause you dropped it in the middle of the court
It's my turn to start
I'll keep the ball rolling for the all-knowing
Be the one to point out which way I'm going
Look at me, I dove in right to the deep end
My spirit is anything but weakened
With a few tricks up my sleeve and the power to believe
All the fear I will devour, I'll be picking it out my teeth!
I know the skill is lethal, to those that can see through
Look into the eyes of fear and shout "I will defeat you!"

No, It's not how you fall down
It's how you get back up
It's putting your foot down
When you've had enough
We're not gonna slow down
Not gonna back down
Gonna get back up
And go back to the hoedown
Do it on our own now
We could scream and shout
Complain we're all alone now
But when the going gets tough
And you feel you've had enough
Put the pedal to the metal
Leave the struggle in the dust
