I watch as his fist meets her face. She can't explain it but she knows it's unavoidable. On that day her planes filled the sky, and under her breath I heard her say:
You can't hold me down.
Standing on the edge of a high rise, I can't explain it but I feel so invincible. All signs say that I can't be broken. You didn't believe when you heard me say:
You can't hold me down.
I finally decided to stop keeping score. I used to be so scared, but I'm not afraid anymore.
You can't hold me down.
I should have left long ago, but it wasn't my time. (You can't hold me) I used to beat myself up, but I'm just not ashamed anymore.
No matter what you do to stay away from me, just know: I'm still running, running, running. I'm still coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.
