[Refrain: Alex Clare]
Stuck in a rut you can't get out
There's too much causing you doubt
No cash, no job, no self-esteem
Me I'm takin' and I'm givin'

[Verse 1: Alex Clare]
If you got a head you should use it
Opportunity, don't want to lose it
Climb over the walls, break down all the doors
When your future calls

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Clare]
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down

[Chorus: Alex Clare]
Just surviving and living
Just surviving and living
Just surviving and

[Refrain: Alex Clare]
Stuck in a rut you can't get out
There's too much causing you doubt
No cash, no job, no self-esteem
Me I'm takin' and I'm givin'
[Verse 2: Alex Clare]
They may wreck your dreams if you let them
Keep them goals in sight, don't forget them
Keep your head up high, yes the future's bright
Keep your head up high

[Pre-Chorus: Alex Clare]
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down
Don't let nothing hold you down
Nothing hold you down, down

[Chorus: Alex Clare]
Just surviving and living
Just surviving and living
Just surviving and
Just surviving and
