Young one
before you go running under the sun
just remember that in the conquest
you might lose everything you brought
yeah
remember this
'cause if you're loud you're in for shock
not everybody's gonna get it
and it could hit you like a rock ...
and then they'll make you wanna cry
when they say that you're a lie
and they have you all
'defending your story'
and then you'll wanna fly
like the Catcher In The Rye
'cause you're wounded and
you're feelin' sorry ..
They'll get you 'til you're down
and they'll kick you on the ground
but you gotta
Rise above the bully
they'll get you all around
even get you underground
but you gotta live to tell
your story
Oooh
'Cause you know what's the truth
No matter what they do
The power's living
Within you ..
Young one
you're hardest passion
'til the day is done
and when they say it's not a contest
it's not a battle to be won
no
remember this
'cause if you fight
you might get shot
and there are bodies to their credit
and you be standing
where it's hot ...
I know they make you wanna cry
when they spray your butterfly
with their callous and insensitive aurae
and then you'll wanna lie
by the train tracks
in the night
'cause you're wounded
and you're feelin' sorry
They'll get you 'til you're down
and they'll kick you on the ground
but you gotta
Rise above the bully
they'll get you all around
even get you underground
but you gotta live to tell
your story
Oooh
'Cause you know what's the truth
No matter what they do
The power's living
Within you ..
Don't you know what it is
it's not rocket science
no
it's structural violence
They'll get you 'til you're down
and they'll kick you on the ground
but you gotta
Rise above the bully
they'll get you all around
even get you underground
but you gotta live to tell
your story
Oooh
'Cause you know what's the truth
No matter what they do
The power's living
Within you ..
