Lyrics
You're not born to beg somebody
You should not live a life of dependency, relying on others.
You're not a great big lie.
Do not embody falsehoods or deception; be genuine.
You know, you need somebody
Recognize the importance of having someone supportive in your life.
Who is gonna' taking your high
You need someone who uplifts and supports you in your highs and lows.
You know what you need
Be aware of your needs and desires.
Do you know what you can get
Understand the possibilities and opportunities available to you.
Down and out in the street
Experiencing difficulties or challenges in life.
White sheets in a cold sweat.
A vivid description of distress or anxiety, possibly related to a difficult situation.
Shout it out, shout, stay the course,
Expressing determination and encouragement to persevere.
Shout it out, shout,
Reiteration of the call to persevere and stay true to one's path.
Don't beg someone just to give
Do not seek favors or assistance from others; stand on your own.
Shout it out, shout,
Reiterating the importance of perseverance and resilience.
Them all down, it's a great relief
Overcoming challenges brings great relief and satisfaction.
If you don't beg somebody just to live.
Emphasizing self-reliance and not relying on others for survival.
An eye for an eye
Advocating a principle of reciprocity and justice.
And a tooth for a tooth
Emphasizing equal retribution for actions taken against you.
Only say good bye
Suggesting parting ways before facing inevitable defeat or failure.
Before you're bound to loose,
Warning against potential losses and advising caution.
And than when you have to hit the road.
Preparing to face challenges or difficulties head-on.
Shout
A concluding call to express oneself boldly and assertively.
