Everyone'll try to put you down Everyone'll try to tell you no If you've got a dream inside You're the only one who can know Don't let nobody own ya Just say "One day I'll show ya" Revenge'll sure feel nice If inside you've paid the price - You know it and you've gotta stand your ground You've earned it - no one can cut you down They'll try to get what they can When you're strong, everyone's your friend Guard the jewel you've found You've gotta stand your ground Come on everybody clap your hands Doesn't it feel good to take a stand? Music is my only release Gotta fight for peace Fight for the beat Whether you want for yourself or for others Stand up for your sisters and brothers Just do what you wanna do No one can say what's right for you - Oooo! You know it and you've gotta stand your ground You've earned it - no one can cut you down They'll try to get what they can When you're strong, everyone's your friend Guard the jewel you've found You've gotta stand your ground
