Lyrics
I stand up for my pride
I prioritize my self-respect and dignity.
I don't wanna be just like anyone
I don't desire to conform or be identical to others.
In this world I cannot hide
In this society, I can't conceal who I am.
I must finish what I have begun
I'm committed to completing what I've started.
That's the way I play
My approach to life is like this.
In the modern day
Within the current era or time.
'Cause I wanna stay
Because I desire to remain relevant and adapted to the present time.
In the modern day
I choose to exist in the present era.
Got a picture in my mind
I have a specific vision of my ideal self.
Of the way that I wanna be
The way I aspire to become.
So I search until I find
I actively seek until I discover.
The power inside of me
The strength or ability within me.
It's another phase
This is another aspect or stage.
Of the modern day
Characteristic of the current era.
Gotta face up to this life
I must confront the reality of life.
Can't let it get the best of me
I refuse to let life overwhelm me.
So I make a sacrifice
I'm willing to make sacrifices if necessary.
If that's the way it has to be
If that's what circumstances demand.
I'm doin' what I feel is right
I'm acting based on what I believe is right.
I'm ready if I need to fight
I'm prepared to defend my beliefs or values.
In the modern way
Within the current way of life or thinking.
In the modern day
Belonging to the current period of time.
Gotta face up to this life
I confront the reality of existence.
Can't let it get the best of me
I won't allow life's challenges to overpower me.
If I make a sacrifice
Should I need to make sacrifices.
That's the way it has to be
That's the way circumstances dictate.
Like a motor in overdrive
I'm highly energized and motivated.
I feel good and I feel alive
I feel positive and full of vitality.
I got no need to beg or borrow
I don't need to plead or acquire from others.
Got a shortcut to tomorrow
I have a direct path to the future.
And I'm on my way
I'm progressing toward the present time.
To the modern day
Heading towards the contemporary era.
Got a lot to say
I have much to express or communicate.
In the modern day
Within the context of the current time.
'Cause I need to stay
Because I want to remain within the present era.
In the modern day
To exist within the current period of time.
In the modern day
Belonging or relevant to the current age.
