Where do I begin
A piece of paper and a pen
To describe from way back when
I had no food but I had a kid
I had a house couldn't pay the bills
Verse 1

This is how I use to feel
If I could only get a deal
Sell some records make a mil
Get a house up on the hills
Kick off my shoes relax and chill
They say that is so unreal
Mela you never ever will
And it brought me to my knees
And I ask the lord please
Hey help me find my way

Hook

Cuz I will not let you bring me down
I will not let you bring me down

Verse 2

They say it cost to be the boss
Just make your profit more than loss
Be the supreme Diana Ross
That's what my mamma always taught
Be a lady when you walk
Be conscious of the things you talk
And so I followed in her ways
My life's improving everyday
Building stacks the size of hay
So my family is straight
And we can travel the UK
And everything will be ok
I think about this all the time
And it helps me ease my mind
Oh help me find my way

Hook 2X's

Cuz I will not let you bring me down
I will not let you bring me down

Bridge

Pressure on my shoulders from the world
Wishing I was still a little girl
Didn't have a worry or a care
Life was just a fairy tale
Now responsibility
Has taken such a toll on me
People want to see me fall
But they'll never get the best of me

Hook

Cuz I will not let you bring me down
I will not let you bring me down
