Lyrics:

Shot to the ground (phew) 🔫
Man down
But I won't give up (woo) 🤩
Man up!

Shot to the ground (phew)
Man down
But I don't give up (woo)
I man up!!!

VERSE 1
Buddha taught that life’s a struggle
I believe it's true
Lately it seems that's all I ever do

Seneca said the struggle will make me stronger
But I've never felt weaker
Fear I won’t live much longer

Franklin said there's nothing to fear but fear itself
Frankly, I fear myself
I wage war on mental health

Eleanor said to do a scary thing daily
Since I am my own worst enemy
I guess it’s time I face me

The battle is within
So either way, I win
That makes me the hero
Viewer, victim, and villain

If I struggle just to get by,
Struggle reaching for the sky
Either way I struggle til the day I die

BRIDGE
Shot to the ground (phew)
Man down
But I won't give up (woo)
Man up

Shot to the ground (phew)
Man down
But I don't give up (woo)
I man up

HOOK 2X
I’ve been down, I’ve been strugglin’
But I won’t give in
Self-love, focus, discipline
I still struggle!

I'll fight until the end
Cuz I know that I’m not dead
And as long as I’m alive
I still struggle!

VERSE 2
Jesus taught with God all things are possible
So I'm in the church still praying for a miracle

Churchill said Never Never Never Give Up
I'm so far down, I can only go up

Aurelius wrote what stands in the way will become the way
So I'm crushing boulders, building a super highway

Lombardi said winners never quit
And quitters never win
I failed many times, but I will not give in

Life is a constant fight against entropy
But there's beauty in the agony
So strive to struggle gracefully

Constant misfortune fortifies a man's mind
A man's true colors are revealed in hard times

BRIDGE
Shot to the ground (phew)
Man down
But I won't give up (woo)
Man up

Shot to the ground (phew)
Man down
But I don't give up (woo)
I man up
