I been down (I been down)
For way too long (for way way too long)

Verse One: Marqus Anthony
They want to see me go down for the count
They throwing they hands but ain't knocking me out
I don't even know you, I need you to bounce
Stand on my own two, I don't need the clout (yeah)
They want to see me go down for the count (ay)
But they ain't knowing I came from the ground (huh)
Knocking them out with out biting they sound
I'm Tyson with hooks when I'm hitting with rounds (let's go)
But it won't always like that (huh), I lost some fights in my past (ay)
Insecure and so depressed, my life was a complete mess
Every day I got to battle in my mind
Had to pull myself together just to get back on the grind (HUH)
But I ain't do it alone, I needed Jesus (Jesus)
Called upon the king on the throne, he gave me freedom (freedom)
And now I'm stepping with a greater new confidence (yeah)
Not to the chef but to my maker due compliments/

Verse Two: Porsha Love
(Yo, yeah) Love that God did a abracadabra on my life
Had to take some time off get my mind right
Now the light is bright in the lime light (lime light)
It's bigger than music but the music is big (yeah)
Leaving a legacy do not be stupid remember you His, yeah remember you His
Can't hold me down, can't hold me down nah
Vibe is weird when they come around, they come around yeah, they come around (whew)
God bless America, land of the free, but really a slave
Y'all catching feelings (ew) sorry, I'm only catching the wave
I'm on a mission. all about churches like chicken
Do not forget that you gifted, you get the boot if you wicked
Hey yo Marcus, (yo wassup)
Let them know this the take over
Feeling new like a makeover
Clocking in like the break over (whew)

Hook: Avila
I been down (I been down)
For way too long (for way way too long)
They just want to see me out for the count
Yeah I been down (I been down)
For way too long (for way way too long)
They just want to see me out for the count yeah yeah

Verse Three: Czar Josh
(Hold up) I was down in my deepest darkest
Got it out the mud to reap the harvest
And it feel the hardest (uh) 'cause they make us targets (uh)
And they hold the harness (uh) over every artist (uh)
It's the new world order (order), it's the state of our nation (uh0
That's why my brothers still bending them corners (uh) with they occupations
American dream they be chasing (chasing it)
But it's not promised to every one (nah)
I got some homies with cap and gowns (uh)
I got some homies that's capping guns (yeah)
Nothing is new underneath the sun (nah)
You got to figure your own path (sheesh)
Out of Atlanta, get it how you live it, shawty
Becoming my own man (yeah, yeah)
Came a long way from deeper depression (uh)
Every new day is really a blessing (hold up)
Every loss is just really a lesson (hold up)
Follow that feeling that's in your intestines (yeah, yeah)
And
Hustle and get it by any means (get it)
I got to do it for family (hold up)
Cutting out ignorant tendencies
Never fulfilling me (uh)
Wearing a smile but intrinsically

Verse Four: Jazmine Nikao
Knowing that trouble try to find me and blind me I could give in but (but)
I'm tryna ride (uh) with the one who we say yea yea made the blueprint now (woo)
Devil try to try me (ay), try to defile and yes this I sense (come on) yet
He messing with the wrong one (woo) 'cause I been down (yeah) but r-r-rose with grit so
Keep walking with peace in my pocket (yeah) go beast when on offense (ay)
The lies they be popping my ears like I'm flying in silence
I pray like a lion, (ay) my roar come from Zion I never stop trying
Advanced like the Mayans (yeah) belief ain't in science
My God not a tyrant (yeah), you'll see that he vibrant
Give him a chance (yeah) and open yo eyelids (yeah)
His bank is advanced receive your deposit (woo)
Defeated ain't gonna be me (get it, get it)
I ain't bout to be the one out (with it, with it ay) on these cold streets
Level up is (yeah) what I be seeing in my own dreams (let's go)
Seeing God (woo, hey) in the struggle, goals for my whole team
