I was born on the back streets On the rotten side of town I never had me nothin' Just people puttin' me down Living on the dark side Across the railroad track Leaving wasn't easy But I'm never going back Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all I'm sticking in the fast lane I never wanna quit I'm taking all my chances I'm gonna take 'em quick I started at the bottom But I'm headed to the top Ain't nobody gonna hold me back 'Cause I'm never gonna stop Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all I was born on the back streets On the rotten side of town I never had me nothin' Just people puttin' me down I'm living on the darkside Across the railroad track Leaving wasn't easy But I'm never going back Never surrender When you're up against the world Never surrender Stand up fight them all [Repeat to end]
