Every day you wake up let me tell you something
If your heart's still beating then that counts for somethin'
Don't let anyone try to bring you down
If it seems bad don't jump to conclusions
Only time will tell the winners and the losers
So we need you to stick around
AND HOLD IT DOWN
Life isn't made to be fair or simple
If you wanna get a lot you gotta give a little
So you got something to prove to you
When you're throwing hands with your demons
Hit em with a right hook and leave 'em reelin
So don't be scared of nothin' at all
You're standing tall
Life is tough don't let it get you down
So roll it up and pass it around
Life is tough don't let it get you down
So if you're hearing this sound just know we're hear
TO HOLD IT DOWN
So if your story ain't the cover of a magazine
And unemployment and the Devil make you want to scream
And all the pots of gold and money trees got dripped dry
Well listen closely cause this song is written just for you
When the day to day news got you feelin' blue
Get up out of yo bed get up in this groove
Cause we put them happy feelin's right up in your shoes
And life is tough don't let it get you down
Life is tough don't let it get you down
So roll it up and pass it around
So roll it up and pass it around
Life is tough don't let it get you down
And if you're hearing this sound just know we're hear
TO HOLD IT DOWN
And life is tough don't let it get you down
Life is tough don't let it get you down
So roll it up and pass it around
So roll it up and pass it around
Life is tough don't let it get you down
Get you down
So if you're hearing this sound just know we're here
TO HOLD IT DOWN
