Everybody gather 'round me
I got somethin' I wanna tell you
Listen when you're on the bottom like I am today
Those around you are losing faith in what you're tryin' to do
There is only one thing a man can say
'You can't keep a good man down'
There've been mistakes and I've made a few
But oh what a price I had to pay
Yet still they try to push me around
But they can't keep a good man down
There may be times when I'm feelin' low
I lose sight of the dream
But that's alright 'cause soon I know
I'll be back on top again runnin' things hey hey
Treat a man like dirt give him no respect for who he is
Expect something dirty in return
Oh they're flyin' high up there they've got a lot to learn
Because you can't keep a good man down
They shame me blame me tryin' to frame me
But they can't keep a good man
They can't keep a good man
They can't keep a good man down whoa whoa whoa
They can't keep a good man down
