I've climbed the highest mountain
Baptized in a pool of fire
Got a price on my head
But I am still alive
I've swam the depths of the ocean
Set sail across the sky
You can take it all away from me
I will survive
I will survive
Keep myself alive
Ain't gonna hide
Take this advice
Kick it on the downbeat
Rumors going 'round
Downbeat
People talking all over town
Downbeat
They try to keep me down
Yet I still thrive
Kick it on the downbeat
Spread the word around
Downbeat
Make it known from town to town
Downbeat
They try to hold you down
Keep the fire inside
Legions of armies adore me
Blead, sweat and paid my dues
Kingdoms of the world before me
I will refuse
I jet across the heavens
To touch a sky so blue
You can try to clip my wings
It's a fight that you will lose
I will survive
Keep myself alive
Ain't gonna hide
Take this advice
Kick it on the downbeat
Rumors going 'round
Downbeat
People talking all over town
Downbeat
They try to keep me down
Yet I still thrive
Kick it on the downbeat
Spread the word around
Downbeat
Make it known from town to town
Downbeat
They try to hold you down
Keep the fire inside
Kick it on the downbeat
Downbeat
Downbeat
Kick it on the downbeat
