No Bowin’Down

We done walked through the fire before
Won't be no bowin' down
Fear no king 'cause we serve The Lord
Won't be no bowin' down
Coward priests done shamed the cloth
For a seat at Nebuchadnezzar's ball
If we gotta die gonna stand real tall
Won't be no bowin' down

Prayed our way through the whip and chain
Won't be no bowin' down
Kept our hope through the lynchin' rope
Won't be no bowin' down
Killed in the street
Thrown into prison
Still we believe The Lord can deliver
Even in the fire Jesus walk right wit' us
Won't be no bowin' down

You can throw us in the furnace
Ya can't burn us
Whip us in the back
We won't crack
Police kill us in the street
No retreat, no
Won't be no bowin' down

You can throw us in the furnace
Ya can't burn us
Whip us in the back
We won't crack
Police kill us in the street
No retreat, no
Won't be no bowin' down

We done walked through the fire before
Won't be no bowin' down
And we fear no king because we serve The Almighty Lord
Won't be no bowin' down
Oh our people done made it through the fire before
Won't be no bowin' down
And we ain't afraid of no Pharaoh
No Caesar 'cause we serve The Lord
Won't be no bowin' down

God bless America
Won't be no bowin' down
Land that I love
Won't be no bowin' down
