Never Let You Down
Basslovers United feat. B.A.D. Lyrics

They can take these clothes off my back
Material possessions don't define me or my value

They can take my money
My wealth doesn't determine my worth or happiness

Don't care about that
I don't place importance on superficial things

Let them take my words
My expression and communication are my most valuable assets

It’s all I've got
My words and thoughts define me and my place in the world

They can have this fame
Public adulation isn't what drives me or defines me

It ain't worth a lot
Fame isn't a meaningful or valuable pursuit

Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
The one thing that truly matters is my commitment to a loved one

As she takes the stand
The stakes are high as my loved one faces a court of law

By the look in her eyes I can tell that she knows
I can see in her eyes that she's fully aware of the situation's gravity

That she’s holding the fate of my world in her hands
Her actions and words determine the course of our lives going forward

Damn, fo’ real
The situation is highly charged and real

This was never the plan
Life has thrown a curveball and things haven't gone according to plan

It was never intended for her to end up the defendant
She wasn't supposed to be in this position of facing legal trouble

And I guess it just happened by chance
The situation's origins are unclear and seemingly random

Damn, and you hope
The situation is anxiety-inducing and hope is all that's left

You hopin’ that a miracle happens
The outcome is uncertain, but hope is that things will turn around miraculously

You prayed that the judge doesn't bang that gavel
Hoping for a more favorable outcome from the court ruling

Just so you can go back and avoid a disaster
Avoiding a disastrous outcome is the top priority

And you could still be holding her hand
Being together as a couple is the ultimate goal

Like the last note of the saddest song
Being together again is like reaching the end of a sad but beautiful song

Or like the last word at the end of the poem
Being together again feels like the perfect ending to a poetic story

You know, there's nothing worse than being alone
The absence of a loved one is the most painful thing

What's the one thing in this life that you live for?
The artist reflects on life's most important pursuit

Who do you know in the world you would die for?
The importance of love and devotion is questioned

Who would lie for?
The singer wonders if anyone would go to great lengths for them

Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for
The depth of love and commitment is explored

'Cause it was me she would ride for
The commitment and loyalty of the loved one is reaffirmed

And that was her that I cry for
The importance of the loved one and their role in their life is highlighted

Now I'd give it all away to get her back
The love and desire to have the loved one back is paramount

'Cause she ain't free, no, just waiting July 4th
The reality of the loved one's constrained freedom is felt keenly

Yea, no, it don't sound logical
The decision may not be logical, but strong emotions are driving the artist

But there's some things in this life that you gotta do
Certain things are worth risking and fighting for

Brother, one thing in this world that got to you
The importance of a specific thing in one's life is emphasized

I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you
The singer affirms their commitment to the loved one above all else

It might be wrong or it might be right
The artist acknowledges their decision may not be objectively defensible

But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
The decision has been made and there's no changing its course

We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
The singer cherishes the present moment and deems the situation worth fighting for

Even if I lost it all
The singer is willing to lose everything else for the one they love

Won't let you go
The artist's determination to hold onto the loved one

No, never gonna let you go
The reaffirmed commitment to never let go of the loved one
