Had my share of trouble
I've had my share of pain
I've picked myself up so many times
And been knocked down again
But one thing I know, one thing I found
Well you can't, you can't, you can't
Can't keep a good man down
Once I had allot of money baby
Right now I couldn't raise a dime
I had myself a real good job
But now all I have is time
And I don't worry, I don't worry
Cuz you can't, you can't you can't
Can't keep a good man down
So many time I been a fool, hey hey
Other times it was bad luck
Well it's not how many times a man falls down
It's how many times he picks himself up
So many times I've been a fool
Other times it was bad luck
But it's not how many times a man falls down
It's how many times he picks himself up
You know that you can't
(keep a good man down)
Can't do it baby
(keep a good man down)
You can't you can't 
(keep a good man down)
Can't do it baby
(keep a good man down)
You can try if you want
(keep a good man down)
Can't keep a good man down
(keep a good man down)
You can't you can't
(keep a good man down)
You can’t, you can't
(keep a good man down)
Well you can't, you can't, you can't
Can't keep a good man down
