Lyrics
I take big dreams to extremes, nothing's going to stand in my way
I have ambitious dreams and I'm willing to push them to their limits; nothing will obstruct my path.
I'm the live wire, I'll take you higher, don't tell me what to do or say
I am full of energy and will elevate you; I resist being controlled or directed in my actions or speech.
Not today, tomorrow, the pain, sorrow
I won't dwell on pain or sorrow today, but it might be a concern for tomorrow.
I'm living with it day to day
I'm accustomed to living with pain and sorrow as a part of my daily life.
Don't even think about it now, it doesn't matter anyhow
Disregard thinking about it now because it won't make a difference anyway.
You know I'm gonna do it anyway, hey
I'm determined to do it regardless of any opposition.
I got it hangin' on my hip, I got it hangin' on my hip
I possess something significant and essential that I carry with me (could symbolize confidence, determination, etc.).
I'll make you believe, my heart ain't pinned to my sleeve
I'll make you believe that I don't openly display my emotions.
Hangin' on my hip
A repeated reference emphasizing the importance of what the speaker carries ('it' on their hip).
You better face facts, no turning back
Accept the reality; there's no way to reverse or change it.
You won't find me waiting in the wings
I won't be found waiting passively; I'll take action.
I'll take a heavy hand, to a better plan
I will use a forceful approach to improve a situation or make it better.
I'll be right here when the bell rings
I will remain present and ready to act when the right moment comes.
Today, tomorrow, the pain, sorrow
Similar to line #3, acknowledging the persistence of pain and sorrow today and potentially in the future.
You know that it's sad but true
Recognizing a sad but true aspect of a situation.
Well, if they had a heart, I'd be tearing it apart
If others had emotions, I would deeply affect or distress them.
Ya see I can put together two and two, hey
A repeated emphasis on what the speaker carries ('it' on their hip).
Hangin' on my hip, you want to see it

It's hangin' on my hip, hangin' on my hip
