(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Roll down the gangway So they'll see that it's me I know they'll wonder about my recovery Yes, i lost a love that promised happiness What my heart wouldn't accept Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down But i rise Yes it can be done They keep a holding me down But i rise They can't make me run
Keep a holding me down But i rise Got my second wind Keep a holding me down But i rise Tell 'em i'm back again
Just say I ain't been licked I ain't been licked I ain't been licked Tell 'em for me I ain't been licked
Like outa nowhere my whole world fell apart Till this day no one knows What i felt in my heart All those precious things Inside me tried to still Hands i thought would help Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down But i rise Yes, it can be done Keep a holding me down But i rise They can't make me run
Keep a holding me down But i rise Got my second wind Keep a holding me down But i rise Tell 'em i'm back again
Just say I ain't been licked I ain't been licked I ain't been licked Tell 'em for me I ain't been licked
Keep a holding me down But i rise Just to start again Rise Show 'em that i can Rise Found a brand new dream Rise Just to prove one thing
Just say I ain't been licked I ain't been licked I ain't been licked Tell 'em for me I ain't been licked
I want the world to see I ain't been licked Although my love is gone I ain't been licked Somehow i carry one
I ain't been licked I'll find the strength somehow I ain't been licked I think i'm ready now I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked I ain't been licked I ain't been licked
