i will hold my ground

i have never had an easy life

but i'm not complaining

it has taught me how to stand and fight

for what i believe in

i guess that's just how i was raised

i find it hard to walk away

i will not back down

when you push me to the wall

expecting me to fall

i will not give in

i am not afraid to fight

for what i know is right

i can only take so much

and when i've had enough

it's not in my blood to just lay down

i will hold my ground

i try my best to get through every day

without confrontation

stayin' out of everybody's way

but then on occasion

somebody steps across the line

and it's not too long before they find

i will not back down

when you push me to the wall

expecting me to fall

i will not give in

i am not afraid to fight

for what i know is right

i can only take so much

and when i've had enough

it's not in my blood to just lay down

i will hold my ground

i will not back down

when you push me to the wall

expecting me to fall

i will not give in

i am not afraid to fight

for what i know is right

i can only take so much

and when i've had enough

it's not in my blood to just lay down

i will hold my ground

no it's not in my blood to just lay down

i will hold my ground

yeah i will hold my ground

i will hold my ground

i will hold my ground

i will hold my ground
