Everybody, gather 'round me

I got somethin' I wanna tell you



Listen, when you're on the bottom like I am today

Those around you are losing faith in what you're tryin' to do

There is only one thing a man can say

'You can't keep a good man down'



There've been mistakes and I've made a few

But oh, what a price I had to pay

Yet still they try to push me around

But they can't keep a good man down



There may be times when I'm feelin' low

I lose sight of the dream

But that's alright 'cause soon I know

I'll be back on top again, runnin' things, hey, hey



Treat a man like dirt, give him no respect for who he is

Expect something dirty in return

Oh, they're flyin' high up there, they've got a lot to learn

Because you can't keep a good man down



They shame me, blame me, tryin' to frame me

But they can't keep a good man

They can't keep a good man

They can't keep a good man down, whoa, whoa, whoa

They can't keep a good man down
