Lyrics
Born into the out,
Born into a challenging situation,
There was nothing for you to be screaming and shouting about,
No apparent reason for excitement or celebration,
Time will tell, the years have told,
Time will reveal the truths learned over the years,
That your sisters and brothers will fall by days of gold.
Siblings will face difficulties and challenges.
So if you, boy, come of age,
As you mature,
Yeah, they'll revel in righteousness,
People will take pleasure in moral integrity,
Wiping the smile from your face,
Removing happiness from your life,
Sad to say, sad to say,
Unfortunately, there's no forgiveness for lagging behind in the pursuit of goals.
There's no mercy on you for falling behind in the chase.
To hear, You're never no good you see,
Hearing that you are perceived as worthless,
You lack a certain quality,
Missing a certain essential quality,
It's high time you've come to realize you've run the wrong chase.
It's time to realize you've pursued the wrong path.
We've seen through the looking glass,
Having insight into reality,
Can't escape what's come to pass,
Unable to escape the consequences of past actions,
Or try to deny the thorn in your side is my taste.
Attempting to deny that the difficult aspect is enjoyable.
Then you say I, I've had enough,
Expressing dissatisfaction with unnecessary requirements,
Of the extra credentials you need just to get by, it's tough.
Feeling overwhelmed, physically and mentally strained,
My senses blurred, my body aches,
Nightmares becoming more frequent.
And it looks like the nightmares are haunting me more every day.
You say I would embrace my fears,
Choosing not to blindly follow either worship or love,
A push or a shove onto worship or love and believe,
Rejecting the notion that success requires submission,
I say no, oh no not me,
Emphasizing independence and self-respect.
If you want to succeed then darling get down on your knees.
We were there, they swore a change, but never delivered.
Observing deceitful actions,
We watched while they slithered away,
Considering it a major error for a foolish person,
Big mistake, for such a fool,
Wishing misfortune on those consumed by their pursuits.
Well I hope you choke on your sizable slice of the chase.
So when we all come of age
Upon reaching maturity,
Yeah we'll revel in righteousness, wiping the smile from their face,
Experiencing the joy of righteousness,
Sad to say, so sad to say,
Regretfully acknowledging the absence of mercy for those lagging in goals.
There's no mercy on you for falling behind in the chase.
I've had enough of your extra credentials,
Having had enough of unnecessary qualifications,
I've had enough of them all,
Rejecting all of them,
I can't describe the reason I'm feeling,
Unable to describe the reason for feeling empowered,
Ten feet tall.
Experiencing a strong sense of confidence.
I'm rolling away on a wave,
Rolling away from difficulties like a wave,
I'm not gonna stay now darlin'
Choosing not to stay,
Hope that you know I won't change
Expressing a commitment to remain unchanged.
I'm not gonna stay now darlin'
Choosing not to stay, reaffirming the decision.
