Lyrics
People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride, they can't take it all
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away
People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride, they can't take it all
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free
Can't take my life away
They can't take my life away
Takin' my life away-ay
Can't take my life away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
They can't take my life away
Takin' my life away
Takin' my life away
Takin' my life away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand?
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
Goin' to the wall
