'Not This Time’s' chorus, “You won’t shake me, you won’t break me, not this time, not this time”, captures the power and drive within to rise above the injustice that exists, and expect fair treatment and acknowledgement of social injustices presence, and understanding of the impact it has on society. The song is about never giving up and never letting any force that comes your way to dull your light and interfere with your plans and accomplishments.
