I Refuse To Lose Lyrics
On my way to the top and I can feel it
Dropped the top on my future, no ceiling
I feel real good when I walk in the building
My soul is my weapon, I won't conceal it
I suffered so many years
I cried so many tears
Some things I don't understand
But I took my hits just like a man
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
To pay the bills I had to sweat
I worked hard jobs with no regrets
I scrubbed toilets 'til squeaky clan
And I scrubbed floors with Mr. Clean
My friends wrote me off,
Talked about me like a dog
But I had to maintain
All odds against me
But I worked through the pain
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
At times my spirit's been low
Those are times I cherish the most
'Cause they made me did deep within
If you think I'm gonna lose, you better think again
Spending nights back at my momma's house
Brainstorming on momma's couch
Then I grab my six string girlfriend
I tune the world out, now the world's tuning in
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
You won't forget, you won't forget, you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
Dropped the top on my future, no ceiling
I feel real good when I walk in the building
My soul is my weapon, I won't conceal it
I suffered so many years
I cried so many tears
Some things I don't understand
But I took my hits just like a man
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
To pay the bills I had to sweat
I worked hard jobs with no regrets
I scrubbed toilets 'til squeaky clan
And I scrubbed floors with Mr. Clean
My friends wrote me off,
Talked about me like a dog
But I had to maintain
All odds against me
But I worked through the pain
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
At times my spirit's been low
Those are times I cherish the most
'Cause they made me did deep within
If you think I'm gonna lose, you better think again
Spending nights back at my momma's house
Brainstorming on momma's couch
Then I grab my six string girlfriend
I tune the world out, now the world's tuning in
Y'all ain't caught on to it yet
Maybe this time you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
You won't forget, you won't forget, you won't forget
I win at whatever I choose
'Cause I refuse to lose
