There was a time, there was a kingdom
They took our lives, they stole our freedom
We heared our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die
Back in the day, I still remember
The way it felt, to hear surrender
All of our fathers tried, to find a compromise
All we had to claim to our name was the blame or the bleeding
They're never gonna hold us down
Won′t let anybody stop us now
Spit out the pain, look me in the face
Tell me what you're fighting for
They're never gonna hold us down
It′s such a shame, all of our hometown
Went up in flames, our souls were burned down
We heared our mothers cry, we saw our brothers die
Back in the place, I still remember
Promise we made, of no surrender
We know our fathers tried, but there′s no compromising
All we had to claim to our name was the blame or the bleeding
They're never gonna hold us down
Won′t let anybody stop us now
Spit out the pain, and look me in the face
And tell me what you're fighting for
They′re never gonna hold us down
They're never gonna hold us down
Won't let anybody stop us now
Spit out the pain, look me in the face
Just tell me what you′re fighting for
They′re never gonna hold us down
