I Ain't Been Licked (12" Version) Lyrics


Roll down the gangway
So they'll see that it's me
I know they'll wonder
About my recoveryYes, I lost a love
That promised happiness
What my heart wouldn't accept
Put me to the testThey keep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me runKeep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back againJust say
I ain't been licked
No, no, no
I ain't been lickedI ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me
I ain't been lickedLike outta nowhere

My whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heartAll those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hillKeep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me runKeep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back againJust say
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, no, no
I ain't been licked, noI ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me
I ain't been lickedKeep a holding me down
But I rise just to start again
Rise, show 'em that I can
Rise, found a brand new dream
Rise just to prove one thingJust say, I ain't been licked
No, no, no
I ain't been licked
No, no, no, noI ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me
I ain't been licked
I want the world to seeI ain't been licked
Although my love is gone
I ain't been licked
Somehow I'll carry onI ain't been licked
I'll find the strength somehow
I ain't been licked
I think I'm ready nowI ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Ain't been licked, no, noI ain't been licked
Yeah, yeah
I ain't been lickedI ain't been licked
Although my love is gone
I ain't been licked
Somehow, on, I'll carry onI ain't been licked
I'll find a way somehow, somehow
I ain't been licked
I think I'm ready nowI ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, I ain't been licked, no, no
I ain't been licked
No, noI ain't been licked
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, I ain't been licked, no, noI ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me
I ain't been licked
I know, I know, I knowI ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, I ain't been licked, no, no
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked, no, noI ain't been licked

Diana Ross (born Diane Ernestine Earle Ross on 26 March 1944 in Detroit, Michigan, USA) is an American soul, R&B and pop singer and actress. Ross is one of the most successful female artists of her era, both due to her solo work and her role as lead singer of The Supremes during the 1960s.

In 1959, Ross was brought to the attention of Milton Jenkins, the manager of the local doo-wop group The Primes, by Mary Wilson. Primes member Paul Williams convinced Jenkins to enlist Ross in the sister group The Primettes, which included Wilson, Florence Ballard and Betty McGlown.

In 1976, Billboard magazine named her the female entertainer of the century. In 1993, The Guinness Book Of World Records pronounced her the most successful female artist ever (the title is now attributed to Madonna), partly due to her combined total of eighteen number-one singles, six of them recorded solo and the remaining dozen from her work with the Supremes.

She was also one of the few pop singers to find modest success in the acting world winning an Academy Award nomination for her role as Billie Holiday in the 1972 film, "Lady Sings the Blues" as well as having hits with other film roles such as "Mahogany", "Out of Darkness" and "Double Platinum", not to mention her role in "The Wiz".

Ms. Ross has been awarded many lifetime achievement accolades from many organizations and media outlets, including BET, Soul Train, the NAACP Image Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement in 2011.

Her professional vocal collaborators have included the following during her career: Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Julio Iglesias, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Westlife, and Smokey Robinson, among others.
