Lyrics
It s just a matter of time before your neighborhood burns, stand up and take it Like, stand up take it like a man
They tried to dominate me into submission, it s about time that you grew up son, they tried to dominate me into submission
The teachers turnes into police, the pencils became guns
but it didn r change a thing
I ried and cried and i could nt beleive, stand up take it if you can Take, wgen i turned 17 i thought that everthing would change
but it didn r change a thing
Start acting like one, take it like a man if you can
the playground s called a slum
wgen i turned 17 i thought that everthing would change
And oh so mean, they tried to dominate me into submission Man, stand up and take it like a man now
That i was the worst child that he ever did see, take it like a man
It was a lesson that i could nt forget, stand up take it like a man
And oh so mean, it was a lesson that i could nt forget, the pencils became guns
stand up and take it like a man now
And oh so mean, take it like a man if you can
try to make me conform when will you learn
Try to break me, that i was the worst child that he ever did see
Now the wheel s going to turn, but they cound nt bring me down Koritni, try to make me conform when will you learn
daddy always said to me boy just do the best you can
the teachers turnes into police
In every situation stay on your feet and take it like a man yeah, and oh so mean
But i quickly realised that the difference was the same, stand up take it if you can
Stand up take it like a man, i said don t mistake me
And oh so mean, now educations called suppression, the teachers turnes into police
Take it like a man if you can, and oh so mean
It s about time that you grew up son, stand up and take it like a man now
Stand up and take it like a man, stand up and take it like a man now
in every situation stay on your feet and take it like a man yeah
But they cound nt bring me down, take it like a man It, you know my mother told me but i as a little boy
now you re a man son
Now you re a man son, the playground s called a slum It, now the wheel s going to turn
Take it like a man, and threw away your toys
Daddy always said to me boy just do the best you can, i said don t mistake me, stand up and take it like a man
I said don t mistake me, and threw away your toys
Stand up and take it like a man, but i quickly realised that the difference was the same, it was a lesson that i could nt forget
It s just a matter of time before your neighborhood burns, it s just a matter of time before your neighborhood burns, i ried and cried and i could nt beleive
The playground s called a slum, stand up take it if you can, the playground s called a slum
now you re a man son
That i was the worst child that he ever did see, it s about time that you grew up son
The pencils became guns, well when i was an adolescent the teacher said to me, the pencils became guns
In every situation stay on your feet and take it like a man yeah, take it like a man, now the wheel s going to turn
Separate yourself from the crowd, now educations called suppression
i said don t mistake me
Daddy always said to me boy just do the best you can, take it like a man
It was a lesson that i could nt forget, separate yourself from the crowd
Well when i was an adolescent the teacher said to me, try to make me conform when will you learn
just take it like a man
