Stuck in a rut you can't get out
There's too much causing you doubt
No cash, no job, no self-esteem
They all taking and I'm giving

If you got a head you should use it
Opportunity, don't want to lose it
Climb over the walls, break down all the doors
When your future calls

Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down

Just surviving ain't living
Just surviving ain't living
Just surviving ain't

Stuck in a rut you can't get out
There's too much causing you doubt
No cash, no job, no self-esteem
They all taking and I'm giving

They may wreck your dreams if you let them
Keep the goals in sight, don't forget them
Keep your head up high, yes the future's bright
Keep your head up high

Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down

Just surviving ain't living
Just surviving ain't living
Just surviving ain't

Just surviving ain't
