I've gotta rise up and take what's mine
Before the light of my twenty-third year pa**es me by
No more - no more wasting time
The dawn of a new day is on the horizon line
Let go of every single notion you once knew
(Yeah let it go)
The only ones who make it always follow through
'Cuz you can't afford to live like this, honey
If you're afraid to fall
(Afraid to fall)
No you can't afford to dream like this, honey
With your back against the wall
(Back against the wall)
I wasted half my life just idling by
And it's k**ing me inside
It's k**ing me inside
That I wasted all this time wondering why
My poker face is showing
But I'm really only folding underneath
(Some of us just wanna be liberated)
So whatcha gonna do when your world stops turning?
All blame rests on you
Tomorrow will come as a bitter pill to swallow
You've got nothing left to lose
(Nothing left to lose)
I wasted half my life just idling by
And it's k**ing me inside
It's k**ing me inside
That I wasted all this time wondering why
My poker face is showing
But I'm really only folding underneath
(Some of us just wanna be liberated)
I've gotta rise up and take what's mine
Before the light of my twenty-third year pa**es me by
No more - no more wasting time
The dawn of a new day is on the horizon line
I'm folding underneath
I wasted all this time wondering why
My poker face is showing
But I'm really only folding underneath
We just wanna be
Just wanna be
We just wanna be liberated
