Lyrics
Mama told me
Mama advised me
That only those close to me
Only those close to me
Are offering the benefit of doubt
Offer the benefit of doubt
Besting through jesting
Engaging in playful banter
Invested in corporate testing
Invested in corporate trials or experiments
Holding it down
Maintaining stability
With Shibboleth
With a symbolic password or test of belonging
Building it up
Constructing and developing
With Shibboleth
Through a symbolic test or criterion
Is there only one high road now
Questioning if there's only one morally superior path
I guess things have changed since I was a young boy
Reflecting on changes since childhood
Bracing for impact
Preparing for a significant impact or change
Keeping our feelings in tact
Preserving our emotions and composure
Don't console me
Do not offer comfort or sympathy
I am what I'm supposed to be
Embracing one's true nature
Holding it down
Maintaining stability
Building it up
Constructing and developing
Holding it down
Maintaining stability
Building it up
Constructing and developing
Holding it down
Maintaining stability
Holding it down
-With Shibboleth
With a symbolic password or test of belonging
Building it up
Constructing and developing
With Shibboleth
Through a symbolic test or criterion
Holding it down
Maintaining stability
With Shibboleth
Through a symbolic test or criterion
Building it up
Constructing and developing
With Shibboleth
Through a symbolic test or criterion
