Lyrics

Been running in place for such a long time

Expressing a feeling of stagnation and lack of progress in life.

Stuck in a race in the wrong line

Feeling stuck in a situation that is not leading to success.

When it all came down on me.

Referring to a moment of realization or a challenging event.

And I haven't had faith for such a long time

Having lost belief or trust for an extended period.

Am I outta place or out of my mind

Questioning one's position or sanity in a given context.

Should it all fall down on me

Anticipating a potential downfall or negative outcome.


Its not enough to live so just dream

Emphasizing that merely dreaming is insufficient for a fulfilling life.

Its not enough to live so just dream

-

Its not enough to live so just dream

-

Its not enough to sing so just scream

Advocating for expressing oneself loudly rather than just singing.


You'll never know

Highlighting the importance of letting emotions out.

If you don't let it out

Encouraging the release of pent-up emotions to gain clarity.

You've had enough

Indicating that one has endured hardships and challenges.

They'll call your bluff

Others will challenge or doubt your sincerity.

You cant back down lost in a crowd

Feeling isolated or overwhelmed in a crowded situation.

You've won the right to scream and shout

Having earned the right to express oneself loudly and confidently.

They'll talk about you lost your cool

People will gossip about losing composure, but it's irrelevant.

There is no point who makes the rules

Rejecting societal norms and rules.

So lets get to it

Encouraging action rather than contemplation.

Now you'll prove it

Challenging the individual to prove their capability.

Break out

Breaking free from constraints or limitations.


Scream and shout

Reiterating the theme of expressing oneself loudly and confidently.

Scream and shout

Been running in place for such a long time

Stuck in a race in the wrong line

Emphasizing the inadequacy of mere dreaming for a fulfilling life.

Its not enough to live so just dream

-

Its not enough to live so just dream

Its not enough to sing so just scream

-

Sound the alarm

Encouraging resistance and action in the face of challenges.

Raise your arms

-

Your on your own

-

Your not alone

-

Big city got you on the ground

-

Afraid to fight don't make a sound

-

So lets get to it

-

Now you'll prove it

Push back
