Lyrics
they tried to break me they couldn't make me
they tried to take me they couldn't even shake me
cause there ain't no way to keep a good man down
they tried to hit me the couldn't get me
they tried to trick me they got their dogs to sic me
but there ain't no way to keep a good man down
everybody stumbles everybody falls
it ain't no fun with your back against the wall
nobody's perfect everybody makes mistakes
ya goot keep goin when ya get a tough break
they tried to stab me they couldn't grab me
they tried to choke me they couldn't even poke me
cause there ain't no way to keep a good man down
we all hit the bottom even those up on the top
when you're down in the gutter ya better not stop
nobody's perfect we all make mistakes
ya gotta keep goin no matter what it takes
repeat verse 2
you can spatter my name by throwin musd at my face
knock me down watch me fall on my face
everybody knows me ya can't fool them all
ya better start runnin when the truth does call
repeat verse 1
ain't no way to keep a good man
ain't no way to keep a good man
down
