L.A. Reid - Rebel (With A Cause) lyrics

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 this Said they seen me change I stuck to my decisions On my own and on my mission You won't forget my name [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus] Family did not approve it I broke a lot of rules to do this Said they seen me change I stuck to my decisions On my own and on my 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 me no choice [Chorus] Rebel with a cause Rebel You can call yo' police Rebel Cause I'm gon' bring on the noise Rebel You can jump out your seat Rebel Rockin' with me and the boys [Chorus] Rebel Rebel Rebel
