about

So many people I've worked with of whom I respect and have become like family over the last 8 years have struggled in their job situations. They've been let go for reasons out of their control or felt forced to move on to other opportunities. This song is something to let these amazing people know that they are loved, I have their backs and (most importantly), that I'm confident they will be just fine. This is a song of hope, inspiration and rebirth! I hope this can be felt worldwide!

lyrics

Chorus
Making goals was for show
It's here now they wanna take you down x2
But you write (you're right), that's when you write (you're right) x2

This. Won't. Phase. Me!
It's time to break free
Retreat I won't allow
When you face defeat, we Never Stand Down!

Verse 1
Under pressure, I've been a little concerned, I'm thinking of what I've heard
(Road blocks gonna get in the way
Everybody got a plan 'til they're hit in the face)
And I wonder, I feel a little obscure, or maybe I'm insecure
(Never get complacent, only constant in all the world is change)

That is not the news that I need. Man I got a household to feed.

I been saving up 'til we made it up here
Don't say, "enough", I'm not giving up on it

Everybody gone learn. My vision is on my terms
My bridges are what I've burned.

I gave 100% and I gave a portion to weekends
And now you threaten, "better do what I say!"

Chorus
Making goals was for show
It's here now they wanna take you down x2
But you write (you're right), that's when you write (you're right) x2

This. Won't. Phase. Me!
It's time to break free
Retreat I won't allow
When you face defeat, we Never Stand Down!

Verse 2
On my conscience, I've pleaded my defence
This just don't make sense

I am never gonna give up x2
(01010111 01101001 01101110)

I've had questions, can't live in the past tense,
Focus on the present

Part of me taking a beating, but I've got plenty to treat it
I gotta be undefeated: my kid's looking to me

Laughing in the face of defeat
Never gonna crush all my dreams

I was missing something within myself
and now I've risen up I'm not giving up on it

Everybody concerned, they think it's absurd
But now it's my turn

Fast forward, I'm rocking a Fast Ford
I'm clocking the dashboard like I woke on a new day

Chorus
Making goals was for show
It's here now they wanna take you down x2
But you write (you're right), that's when you write (you're right) x2

This. Won't. Phase. Me!
It's time to break free
Retreat I won't allow
This time, we Never Stand Down!
