Babyface - Rebel lyrics

Written by kayo, daryl simmons, l.a. reid, babyface, jermaine jackson (1991) Performed by jermaine jackson Took a lot of balls to do it I took a lot of heat from it I had to watch my back, no matter where I was at Everybody's gunnin' for me Family did not approve it I broke a lot of rules to do it Said they seen me change I stuck to my decisions On my own and on a mission You won't forget my name 'cause I'm a rebel with a cause And I live my life backed up against the wall Don't wanna live my life how it's supposed to be I gotta live my life 'cause it's up to me Rebel with a cause Rebel Rebel The jackson 5 is history (in the books I mean) Did a lot of things for me Got me where I'm at Gotta tip my hat, but I ain't goin' out like that There was a time that I could never let go There was a day when I could have no control There was a place I'd never been Now with a cause, I've got to win I gotta prove it, you better move it Or I might just run you down Hook Family did not approve it I broke a lot of rules to do it Said they seen me change I stuck to my decisions On my own and on a mission You won't forget my name You can call yo' police Cause I'm goin' bring on the noise I'm a rebel with a cause With a pocket full of balls And you don't leave no choice Hook Rebel with a cause Rebel You can call yo' police Rebel Cause I'm goin' bring on the noise Rebel You can jump out your seat Rebel Rockin' with me and the boys Hook Rebel Rebel Rebel
