Can't keep me down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down
I said, you can't keep me down
No, you can't keep me down
I said, you can't keep me down
Hey, hey, man, what's your problem?
I see you tryna hurt me bad
Don't know what you're up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
'Cause you know I'm not that kinda girl
That'll lay there and let you come first
You can push me out the window (you can)
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a-
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground (said I'll go underground)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but (oh)
You can't keep me down, down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down
Oh-oh, oh
Hey, hey, girl, are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword
'Cause it's time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though you're not for sure
Don't let him pull you by the scar
You're gonna get your feelings hurt, yeah
You can push me out the window (said you can push me)
I'll just get back up (I'll get right back up)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck (oh, oh, oh)
And I won't give a- (said I won't give a-, oh)
You can hang me like a slave (slave)
I'll go underground (said I'll go underground)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but (oh)
You can't keep me down, down, down, down (can't keep me down)
You can push me out the window (yeah)
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck (you can try)
And I won't give a- (I won't give a-)
You can hang me like a slave (hey, yeah)
I'll go underground (said I'll go underground)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down
(Everywhere that I go)
There's someone waitin' to chain me
(Everything that I say)
There's someone tryin' to short-change me
(I am only this way)
Because of what you have made me
And I'm not gonna break
You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a- (yeah)
You can hang me like a slave (I'll)
I'll go underground (said I'll go underground, yeah)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down (you can't keep me down)
You can push me out the window
(I'll just get back up)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
(And I won't give, and I won't give up)
You can hang me like a slave (oww, oww)
Can't keep me, can't keep me
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler, but
You can't keep me down
You can push me out the window (no, no, no, no)
I'll just get back up (I'll just get back up)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck (you can run)
(I won't give a-, yeah)
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground (said I'll go underground)
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
You can't keep me down (can't keep me down)
