I'm screaming not for help And open up a window free to be myself
3
Standing over me trying to make a fool of me trying
4
to get the best of me oh Trying to shut me out trying to kick me
5
when I'm down that ain't gonna stop me now I choose to rise,
6
you choose to fall How does it feel to know that I am capable of more than you will ever know?
7
Don't tell me I'm not good enough Don't you bring me down I'm moving up
8
and you're over now You gave me fire every time you
9
came around My feet are steady on the ground You won't knock me down
10
down I'm picking up the pieces, I'm making up the reasons not to tell us all times like this,
11
I'd rather speak to no one, I just wanna move on, stand up on my own.
12
I'm down that ain't gonna stop me now no. How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?
13
Your words don't mean a thing at all.

20
cause of the place that we lived.
21
We never had it easy, believe me, but that'll excuse the things that we did.
22
Couldn't accept it, I was never accepted.
23
Shed so many tears like I fell in depression.
24
Thought if I changed I wouldn't get called names, but it was all the same, I was feeling rejected.
25
Putting someone down, this is a low blow.
26
It goes around, comes around like a yo -yo.
27
We said I could stop time like a photo, but we stand strong, bounce back like a photo.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
