Have you heard the news?
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m doing what I said I would
So now you say
Boy, I always knew you could
My wildest dreams
Murdered by reality
I gave all I could give you
But now Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m taking back what belongs to me
I read you like a drugstore book
Howâ"š¬â"ž¢d I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢re no friend, and buddy, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m no fool
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can say
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
No oneâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna stand in my way
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve done my time
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve given up my pound of flesh
So why canâ"š¬â"ž¢t the man seem to understand
That Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve already passed the test
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m here to make a big, big sound
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s your turn to lose and itâ"š¬â"ž¢s my turn to win
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can say
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
No oneâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna stand in my way
I know you can never go back
Once you turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m not a kid anymore
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my soul give in
But now Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m here to make a big, big sound
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s your turn to lose and itâ"š¬â"ž¢s my turn to win
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can say
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ you can do about it
No oneâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna stand in my way
