You keep your head down
While I stand up proud
You shut your mouth
While I freely speak my mind
You obey their rules
I create my own
Still their marionette
While I've cut my strings loose
You can hate me
But you can't change me
I live my life
The way I wanna be
You can hate me
But you can't change me
Don't live my life
To your conformity
I stopped playin' their game
You still wait your turn
I want you to see
The truth that I see now
You think you're up top
While you're still oppressed
Open up your eyes
There's not much time to waste
You can hate me
But you can't change me
I live my life
The way I wanna be
You can hate me
But you can't change me
Don't live my life
To your conformity
CUT YOURSELF LOOSE!
