Promises

I'm gonna keep my head held high
Never let no one bring me down
All of the problems in my life
I promised myself I won't back down
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'll push myself through every single low (every low, ay)
My life is worth the fight and now I know (ay, ay)

From the ashes, I rise, I'm beating my demons
I'm not scared to look on my right in their eyes
Been to the bottom, was almost forgotten
Now Satan can't touch me the higher I climb
We'll look to the sky when something went wrong in my life
I was yelling at God asking why
Now I know everything I went through
Was for a bigger purpose 'cause it all turned out fine

The more that I grow (grow)
The more that my old friends are staying the same
No selling my soul (soul)
So thankful for God that He gave me the strength
Let's have a toast (toast)
I shouldn't even be here today
Made a promise to myself I won't break

I'm gonna keep my head held high
Never let no one bring me down
All of the problems in my life
I promised myself I won't back down
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'll push myself through every single low (every low)
My life is worth the fight and now I know (know)

I'll never back down
To any of the struggles I find in my path
Man, I almost drowned
My heart, it was getting so cold
That the world on my shoulders
It felt like it's thousands of pounds

Was lost, now I'm found
When searching for something I could never find
I left my old town
I looked in the mirror and didn't like what I was seeing
But then I changed my life around

All I went through
Led me to where I'm supposed to be
Now I know the truth
And now I feel like I can finally breathe
Got nothing to prove
To anyone else but me
And I thank God I'm finally free (finally free)

I'm gonna keep my head held high
Never let no one bring me down
All of the problems in my life
I promised myself I won't back down
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'm never gonna break it, break it, no (promises)
I'll push myself through every single low (every low)
My life is worth the fight and now I know (know)

I made it this far, I'm not giving up
Sometimes you gotta know when enough is enough
And that's where you fight with all you've got
This life ain't for the weak, gotta toughen up

I'm gonna keep my head held high
Never let no one bring me down
All of the problems in my life
I promised myself I won't back down
I won't back down (ooh)
