I've been up
I've been down
But everything is just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
It's true
Tougher skin?
Guess again
But not because I don't try, try, try, try
I always do
And I don't want nobody telling me I'm nobody
I've got a revelation
I'm a new creation, baby
The world can't bring me down
You think what?
Why the rut?
'Cause if you're towing the line, line, line
Those days are through
You know it says it right here, right here
Take a good look at this
Intent
No, you're no accident
Why let life get you confused?
Don't let anybody tell you you're nobody
I've got a revelation
You're a new creation, baby
The world can't bring you down
I've got a revelation
You've been elevated, baby
The world can't bring you down
Big screen tells ya, "You gotta look this way
You got no beauty beyond what you display"
But don't they get it? It's what's inside you
So take your place
And don't ever hide your face
All those fashion victims seem so aggravated
Going with the flow is very overrated
I've got a revelation
You're a new creation, baby
The world can't bring you down
I've got a revelation
You've been elevated, baby
The world can't bring you down
