[Intro]
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
[Pre-Chorus]
It's your life
Thing may not always go right for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
'Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
No matter how hard it gets
[Verse 1]
In the dark
The pain chips away at your heart
So deep
Can't you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eye, look to the sky
Ooh, there's much more to life when you're free
That's the key
And in time, you will find all the answers
Don't have to lose your pride
Hold on to what's inside
[Chorus]
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
(Down, girl; down, girl, down, down, down, down)
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
(Down, girl; down, girl, down, down, down, down)
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are
(You are, you are, you are, are, are, are)
[Refrain]
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
[Bridge]
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Sometimes you gotta play the game
Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I'm leaving it all at the door
She's staring me in my face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way
[Refrain]
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Beautiful you are
Beautiful you are
(You are, you are, you are, are, are, are)
[Chorus]
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
(Down, girl; down, girl, down, down, down, down)
Don't never let nobody bring you down, girl
(Down, girl; down, girl, down, down, down, down)
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful you are
