Cant Stop Me
State Of Mine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't stop me now

Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
I'm telling you fools
That I got nothing left to lose
Broken and bruised
Black and blue
Still on the move
And I'm showing the world
I still got a lot more to prove

Now I'm coming out swinging
For your throat in the ring
Standing there bleeding
Yeah you know what I bring
Know what I mean
Duck when the bell is rung
'Cause it's a little too late now
To get up and run

Get up and run

You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now

This is the calm
Before the storm
I was born for more
Now you got me ready for war
Remember my name
Everybody outta my way
Back up or get knocked out
This ain't a game

'Cause I never stay down
When they push me around
See the world stand up
When they give me the crown
Now it's go time
Do or die, dead or alive
You can try to kill me
But I will survive

I will survive

You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now

Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me
Can't stop me, no you can't stop me now
You can't stop me, no you can't stop me now

You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher

You've broken every part of me
I'm bloodied and I'm beaten down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher now
So don't fuck with me
You're never gonna hold me down
I'll keep rising higher, higher, higher
The world can't stop me now





You can't stop me, no you can't stop me now

I can't wait until you guys make it big. Nothing against most modern music but I've often complained about not enough rock bands anymore. Seems like my prayers have been answered. Keep up the amazing work and I'll be looking forward to every little thing you guys put out in the future!

@rustysussen5225

Most new rock isnt done right either. But I guess it makes a good band that much more impressive anymore.
