Rebel With A Cause
...He's living in a Cinderella home
His step father hit em in the nose
They getting in his way, in his space, they ain't giving him a zone
and he figured if he did it he'd be living on his own
So he packed up one night and headed for the door
before he jeted he left them a little note
It said mama I'm sorry and I love you but I really gotta go
I'll see you when I see you on the road
So...confused but so driven to prove
So...in tune I won't listen to you
I'll go my own
By the time you read this you'll already know I'm gone
and when I get where I'm going I'll call you somewhere on the go
...I'm a rebel, I'm never gonna settle
I will...listen to rap the devil, and heavy metal
I will...lead the revolution of angry teenagers
Alter the pages of history there's gonna be some changes
Hook
And I, know hurting but I'm just tryna
make it on my own I'm sorry mama
I gotta make a move but I promise I'ma
call you on the road when I find my calling
I know that you want me to stay, your baby's going away
Don't know when I'ma be back, there's no more that I can say
To show you that I'll be fine you ain't gotta worry your head
Take care of things while I'm gone, I'm a rebel with a cause
...It's no surprise that he couldn't find an apartment
Nobody wants a tenant under aged without a job and
runaway teenagers is something that you see often
And so he put his foot to the peddle let's get it started
I'll start at the bottom they got me flipping these burgers
but the fire inside of me got me lit with this burner
I'll secure me a pad
Save a little money up that's why I'm working my ass
off to purchase an amp
A couple mics and sound system the speakers the band instruments
I'ma stay low, until I get off the ground
this is my only way out, so I'll just stick to the plan
Don't need it I don't need much for me I'll live like a man
And so he worked his way up, although it doesn't pay much
He's just low level assemble they just do what they must
Until the day he can quit and say that he's taken enough
He's a rebel on the collision with greatness I'ma make it

And I know hurting but I'm just tryna
make it on my own I'm sorry mama
I gotta make a move but I promise I'ma
call you on the road when I find my calling
I know that you want me to stay, your baby's going away
Don't know when I'ma be back, there's no more that I can say
To show you that I'll be fine you ain't gotta worry your head
Take care of things while I'm gone, I'm a rebel with a cause
Now that all I gotta do is make em understand
Then separate the jealous from the fans
I see it already, yea bring it I"m ready
The balls dropped I'm surrounded by ambiance and confetti
First show on the road, living la vida loc
...They know my name and they scream cus they want me to know
They love me even more
...Look at me now mama I'm star
I got money I got vehicles and an entourage
While everybody else was hating I was on the ball
They had their 5 minutes of fame it's like they're falling off
Now I can take this over seas with me and party hard
I'm laughing straight to the bank with this like hardy har
Who knew I one day would stand in the lime
Instead of passing the time
doing what everyone wanted I was determined to rhyme
I set my goals and I was focused on just working to mine
And all the sweat and tears was worth it I'm signed

Don't know when I'ma be back, there's no more that I can say

Take care of things while I'm gone, I'm a rebel with a cause
