[Intro]
Yuh
It’s Kiante
DZ8
We locked in (locked in)
[Verse 1: Kiante]
Woke up with a target on me
Turned it to a logo on a black tee
Everybody talk tough online
In the real world they don’t wanna tax me
Came from the side where the rain don’t stop
Where the pain don’t talk, it just packs heat
Mama said, "Boy, they gon’ doubt you forever"
I said, "Watch how I crack these ceilings clean"
Used to have a meal in a plastic bowl
Big dreams folded in my mattress foam
Now I got my name in they caption, though
Same ones laughing got caps in they phones
I was in the back, now the backseat fold
Bag so big that the bag can’t close
Pressure on my neck, but I stand on stone
If they wanna take mine, better aim for the throne (yuh)
[Chorus: Kiante + crowd]
Never back down, I don’t fold, I don’t break (I don’t break)
Stand ten toes in the mud, in the flames (in the flames)
If they wanna war, we can run it all day (all day)
If I fall once, I get up same day (same day)
Never back down, heart still beat strong (beat strong)
Bet on myself, I’ve been right all along (all along)
If they want smoke, tell ’em meet me in the dawn (in the dawn)
Never back down, I’m the last one gone (last one gone)
[Verse 2: DZ8]
DZ8, yeah, I came from the deep end
Hand-me-down shoes, big dreams, no sleep then
Whole block cold, had to keep my heat in
Not the chrome kind, I’m talkin’ ‘bout my belief in
Me, when the whole world laughed in my face
I was writin’ whole plans in the back of the place
Where the landlord bang on the door for the pay
Had to hustle every day, now it’s racks in the safe
They don’t really get that
Had to turn the setback into jetpack
Every little slip, I reflect, then I step back
Came up swingin’, I ain’t never need a get-back
Say my name in a room, that’s a red flag
‘Cause you only ever talk when your check lack
We was really in the dirt where the rats at
Now we really gettin’ clean off a trap track (woah)
[Chorus: Kiante & DZ8]
Never back down, I don’t fold, I don’t break (I don’t break)
Stand ten toes in the mud, in the flames (in the flames)
If they wanna war, we can run it all day (all day)
If I fall once, I get up same day (same day)
Never back down, heart still beat strong (beat strong)
Bet on myself, I’ve been right all along (all along)
If they want smoke, tell ’em meet me in the dawn (in the dawn)
Never back down, I’m the last one gone (last one gone)
[Bridge: Kiante]
Look me in my face
You can see the scars, not shame
Every little loss I ate
Turned me to the man I became (yeah)
Told ’em I would win, they laughed
Now they wanna ride my wave
I just put the work in, fast
You just ever typed your rage (ooh)
[Chorus: Full crew]
Never back down, I don’t fold, I don’t break (I don’t break)
Stand ten toes in the mud, in the flames (in the flames)
If they wanna war, we can run it all day (all day)
If I fall once, I get up same day (same day)
Never back down, heart still beat strong (beat strong)
Bet on myself, I’ve been right all along (all along)
If they want smoke, tell ’em meet me in the dawn (in the dawn)
Never back down, I’m the last one gone (last one gone)
