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

You can't hold me down
