[Verse 1]
Mi stand up firm inna mi place
Eye pon yuh, but mi no move base
Dem waan push, dem waan flex
Mi chest like iron, mi nah bend next
Bare mud pon mi boots, scar pon mi hand
Still mi plant mi foot pon di shaky land
If yuh come wid doubt, keep yuh distance
Mi heart beat hard inna resistance
[Pre-Chorus]
Step back, step back
Mi nah give one inch
Step back, step back
Yuh feel dat pressure switch
[Chorus]
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi nah bow down
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi stand mi ground now
(Stand mi ground)
(Stand mi ground)
[Verse 2]
Dem chat big name, but dem voice sound thin
Mi know di storm, mi know di pain within
When di night get loud and di fear come near
Mi breath get slow, mi sight stay clear
Coal inna mi lungs, fire inna mi chest
Mi tek di hit and still do mi best
No pretty talk, no empty show
If yuh press mi line, then yuh already know
[Pre-Chorus]
Step back, step back
Mi nah give one inch
Step back, step back
Yuh feel dat pressure switch
[Chorus]
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi nah bow down
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi stand mi ground now
(Stand mi ground)
(Stand mi ground)
[Bridge]
When di whole place shake, mi still stay rooted
When dem scream and cuss, mi still stay suited
Mi vow inna mi bones, mi oath inna mi skin
Tell di weak heart dem, "no, yuh cyaa win"
[Breakdown]
Back yuh foot!
Back yuh foot!
Mi nah move fi nutten!
Back yuh foot!
Back yuh foot!
Mi ground get tougher!
(Stand up)
(Stand up)
[Final Chorus]
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi nah bow down
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi stand mi ground now
Back yuh foot
Back yuh foot
Mi nah break down
(Stand mi ground)
(Stand mi ground)
