my teacher told me boy you’re no good
just because you don’t do what you should
you better shape up or you’re gonna fail
but i said i’m leavin’ ’cause this is a jail
an’ i know what you’re thinkin’
but don’t pity me oh no
i’ll be better off out on my own
i can survive
i can survive just fine
i can survive
i can survive on my own
they tried to tell me they tried to sell me
play music like this if you want to be smart
but i said listen here’s what you’re missin’
music’s got to have a heart
they put me through many changes
faces and names are clear
but i’ll just leave my music
ringin’ louder in their ears
now you should know just what to do
don’t let other people take advantage of you now
don’t think twice no don’t hesitate
shoot for the top you gotta deal with fate
and i know that you’ll understand
you got the power baby in your hands yeah
