Story Behind The Song

If it's not worth fighting for, it may not be worth having. Pressing through the mess to be blessed is why I wrote this song. Someone is always very close to their goal before the real trouble comes to make them give up right before the finish line. No matter what the situation you must keep your eye on the prize

Song Description

Moving forward in spite of troubles, hardships and trials. Gaining the strength that is needed to persevere and the stamina to stand and not give up.

Ooh, Ooh, Ah
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm keeping my eyes on the prize cause I got somewhere to go
I'm going to get everything God promised me, and I can't let nobody stop me
No I can't
Chorus
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody, anybody hold me down
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody anybody turn me around

Every time it seems, cause I'm doing the right thing my friends wanna pull me this way that way
Every way but the right way
But I'm gonna be strong cause I know it won't be too long
That everything I'm striving ,for God will give me that and so much more yeah
Chorus
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody, anybody hold me down
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody anybody turn me around
Bridge
Keeping my eyes on the prize ( and I can't turn back now) Keeping my eyes on the prize
(And I can't go back now) now I press toward the mark for the prize (I'm gonna follow Jesus and I won't turn back)
Chorus
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody, anybody hold me down
Can't let nobody, can't let nobody, can't let nobody, nobody, nobody anybody turn me around
