Stuck in a rut you can't get out

There's too much causing you doubt

No cash, no job, no self-esteem

Me I'm takin' and I'm givin'



If you got the gift you should use it

Opportunity, don't want to lose it

Climb over the walls, break down all the doors

When your future calls



Don't let nothing hold you down

Nothing hold you down, down

Don't let nothing hold you down

Nothing hold you down, down



Just surviving and living

Just surviving and living

Just surviving and



Stuck in a rut you can't get out

There's too much causing you doubt

No cash, no job, no self-esteem

Me I'm takin' and I'm givin'



They may wreck your dreams if you let them

Keep them goals in sight, don't forget them

Keep your head up high, yes the future's bright

Keep your head up high



Don't let nothing hold you down

Nothing hold you down, down

Don't let nothing hold you down

Nothing hold you down, down



Just surviving and living

Just surviving and living

Just surviving and

Just surviving and
