Justin Bieber And Sean Kingston "Won’t Stop" Lyrics

[Sean Kingston] I see them coming, yeah. They try to bring me down, but I won’t stop. They want me in the ground, but I won’t stop. ‘Til I’m dead, man, I won’t stop. No. I, I see them coming, coming. They try to bring me down, but I won’t stop. They want me in the ground, but I won’t stop. ‘Til I’m dead, man, I won’t stop. No. Yeah, i think they mad ’cause I’m driving in the fast lane but i’ve been grindin’ for years, ask hype game It’s funny how stuff doesn’t change From sleepin’ in the car to coppin’ me that Range I’m all world star All them other blogs All them haters hatin’ cause I am a heart throb But do i want it all? All the negativity is not gonna get rid of me I’m here to make history I’m speakin’ it real Back track to the days when I ain’t have me a deal, yeah So I’ma show the world that I’m ill Every beat that i get on best believe I’ma kill So you can have all the jewelry Have all the cars Have all the fame Have all the broads you can have the fact that I’m a star Just so you can listen to these bars [Justin Bieber] I see them coming. Yeah. They try to bring me down, but I won’t stop. They want me in the ground, but I won’t stop. ‘Til I’m dead, man, I won’t stop. No. I, I see them coming, coming. They try to bring me down, but I won’t stop.
