ATTITUDE

People say I don't know my place 
I'm opinionated, quick to rage and vent
They say, what this poor girl really needs
Is a first class attitude adjustment
Oh, but if you try and take away my freedom 
I'm likely to punch back every single time
And it may not be the best attitude, but it's mine

And if you tell me what I cannot say
You best get down on your knees and pray
You never, ever again run into me
And that's how always I intend to be
'Cause if you try and take away my freedom 
I'm likely to punch back every single time                                             
And it may not be the best attitude, but it's mine

          Yeah, some are quick to throw the first stone
          And think their fists will keep you under their thumb
          But some are born a living metaphor
          Of what it means that we shall overcome 

And if you tell me to give up my seat
And take my place at the back of the bus
You can lock me up or take me out
But there's plenty more folks just like us
And if you try and take away our freedom
We're likely to punch back every single time
And it may not be the best attitude, but it's mine

And I say, long live Ms. Rosa Parks
Who fought the good fight to the end of the line
And it may not be the best attitude, but it's mine 
You best believe it's mine, Lord knows, 
Lord knows it's mine, Lord knows it's mine
