(Verse 1) I rise up, never back down, got my head in the game No time for doubters, I'm fuelled by the flame They try to bring me down, but I stand tall I'll keep pushing forward, won't stumble or fall I've been through the struggle, felt the pain But it only made me stronger, lit a fire in my brain I'm on a mission, chasing my dreams No looking back now, I'm breaking the seams (Chorus) Never back down, never give in I'll fight through the storm, let the battle begin I'm on a mission, I'm on a roll I'll keep pushing forward, I'm in control (Verse 2) They say I can't do it, they try to bring me down But I'll prove them wrong, I'll wear the crown I'm focused on my path, no distractions in sight I'll keep moving forward, I'll shine so bright I'm on a journey, chasing my fate I'll never back down, I'll break through the gate I'll conquer my fears, rise above the rest I'm on a mission, I'll give it my best (Chorus) Never back down, never give in I'll fight through the storm, let the battle begin I'm on a mission, I'm on a roll I'll keep pushing forward, I'm in control (Bridge) I'll keep grinding, I'll keep shining I'll never stop, I'll keep climbing I'll face the challenges, I'll face the pain I'll never back down, I'll stake my claim (Chorus) Never back down, never give in I'll fight through the storm, let the battle begin I'm on a mission, I'm on a roll I'll keep pushing forward, I'm in control (Outro) Never back down, that's my creed I'll keep pushing forward, I'll succeed I'll never back down, I'll never retreat I'm J Cole's disciple, I'll never face defeat
