This track was inspired by a person in the industry who was gaslighting me with respect to my musical career, telling me that what I was making was not good enough and that I had to hone it to one style of music and stop releasing material on my own and hand over the reigns to them to control. I did more research to find that this person seems to say this to many artists with ulterior financial motives. It’s my Fuck you song.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
No, you can’t do it all you know
You can try but you will fail.
You’re still here on this earth.
I say it’s gonna gonna be OK.
I thought that this was bout change today
but now I know that I don’t give a damn anyway
I’m not gonna do what you say
Chorus 1
won’t let you get me down you
i won’t let it stop me now.
I won’t let it block me now.
I’ll do what I can to break new ground.
I won’t let it stop me now.
I won’t let it be me down.
I’ll keep on trying again again and again and again and again
Verse 2
You can try but you will fail
When I can I say yes my friend
When I fall I get up again
You’re thriving why don’t you give yourself a chance
keep on trying and you’ll find your wealth
don’t do what they say
Chorus 2
you can’t stop me you can’t beat me down
I won’t let it stop me now.
I won’t let it block me now.
I’ll do what I can to break new ground.
I won’t let it stop me now.
I won’t let it beat me down.
I won’t let it beat no won’t let it stop me now whoa
Bridge
All the colors of the rainbow
Coming in the white light
COMbine inside
Combine
It’s alright
Chorus 3
won’t let it stop me now won’t let it be me down.
I won’t let it block my love to you and me and all around.
I won’t let it stop me now.
I won’t let it block us.
yes i won’t let it beat us down now I won’t let it stop us now whoa
