Too many people to hold you back And pin you to the wall Who the hell are they to say What's right or wrong in the world today I've got a half of mind to get up And smack the next one who tries To put their weight on me And pressure me into things I don't buy And I know there's a better way Then how I am living today I broke away the chains that binded me And I thought of you along me way down And I'll never be that way again You see cause I learned my lesson Well enough yesterday I spent a lot of time when I was young Waiting on someone who never really knew me For who I was or who I could be. And as the days they turn The more I see The more I learn Forget about the time that's burned But don't forget the lessons learned What did your hatred bring Nothing but terrible things
