| They just can’t keep I down
|
| I’ll always be around
|
| Never will they get I down
|
| I’ll always be around
|
| I work real hard, night and day
|
| Can’t let no one just, take that away
|
| I try in life, to do my best
|
| But some would love to see me stoop to less
|
| They just can’t keep I down
|
| I’ll always be around
|
| Never will they get I down
|
| And I’ll always, you’ll always, he’ll always, yeah
|
| (musical interlude)
|
| Some would love to sweep your feet off the ground
|
| Ev’ry time you get up they keep pushing you down
|
| The shortest way home is the long way round
|
| The deepest rivers never make a sound
|
| They just can’t keep I down
|
| I’ll always be around
|
| Never will they get I down
|
| I’ll always be around
|
| I said they just can’t keep I down
|
| And I’ll always be around
|
| With the powers of jah jah jah jah
|
| Can’t keep I down (15 times)
|
| They just can’t keep I down
|
| I said they just can’t keep I down |
