[Verse]
People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride, they can't take it all
[Chorus]
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
You've got your pride
They can't take that away
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
People pushin' like I don't know
I'm gonna live my life like I wanted to
My hopes shot down, my backs to the wall
But I've got my pride, they can't take it all
[Chorus]
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I've got my pride
They can't take that away
I'm gonna be free
Gonna be free
[Bridge]
Can't take my life away
They can't take my life away
Takin' my life away-ay
Can't take my life away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
They can't take my life away
Takin' my life away
Takin' my life away
Takin' my life away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
[Outro]
Back's to the wall
I'm starting to fall
Make your stand, no man's land
Will nobody give me a helping hand?
Put me down, wipe me out
Do what you like but I'll put up a fight
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
I'm goin' to the wall
Goin' to the wall
