I Won’t Compromise
I won’t back down, take down, step away, step back or quit; I’ll never think of acquiescing, nor just silently and idly sit
Look into the depths of my face, as death wears no disguise; I refused to stay buried in the pain that lives in compromise
I don’t fear my opposition, I’m not worried about defeat; I’ m advancing full speed ahead, because of my fear of retreat
You’ve had your say, and spoken your combative peace; held my issues in your concentration camp, I want their release
I’ve yielded you the right of way; I can go no further left; whether left or right, back or down, I’ve no more yielding left
You’re free to air your conditions or let your temperature rise; but no matter how hot you get, I won’t ever compromise
I won’t succumb to pressure, not in the very least; and I won’t be denied my rights, so at my expense, you’re able to feast
I won’t part ways with my ego, nor will I shed my confidence; I must follow my heart, even when it does not make sense
I won’t say yes when I mean no or no when I mean yes; I’ll always speak in certainty, I’m so tired of giving my best guess
You couldn’t stand the heat in the kitchen and stopped cooking in the bedroom: I won’t sweep things under the rug and I’ve thrown away your broom
Judging from your expression you seem totally confused; you committed the crime and I’m the one who’s falsely accused
In life, this is my most important issue, I hope you realize; and when it comes to loving you, I just can’t ever compromise
I’m sincere in what I’ve been saying, this is not a bluff; sometimes love can be easy but sometimes, love must be tough
