Album: Heartbeat (2014)BullyI guess I should be changing with the times
It's the 21st century
Feeling like I'm out of my mind
This is not the way it was meant to be
Everybody's stepping out of line
But I heard that eventually
Everything is gon' burn
Can I get your attention please?
I don't need your permission please
No more Mr. Nice Guy
I'ma let the tension breathe
They just want me to pipe down
I'ma fight in the four walls
I refuse to bite and just go along
If I'm bruised with a knife I'ma go hard
I'm right, you're wrong
That's a statement that make you bold as a lion
That's a statement that get you thrown into the lion's, den
Get you thrown into the frying, pan
Please forgive us for this defiance
I'm sorry, we're normally more compliant
But tonight we setting it on fire
[J.R.:]
I never thought that you would take it this far
And everything you've done to try to make me move
Take a look at my heart and you'll see my scars
But I won't take this no more
You will never bully me, no longer
You will never bully me, no longer
No matter what you say I'll never runaway
I will never be kept silent again
Twin brows and a black mask
"Take the money out the cash drawer"
I don't care what y'all say
Can't tell me that it's natural
Two men that are in love
Stand up for holy matrimony
They stand in front of the pastor
I'm in my zone, they only want me to back up
I'm sick of walking on eggshells
All this political correctness
We call it abomination
Y'all call it progressive
Man, we call it evil
Y'all try to protect it
Y'all don't want us to judge
Y'all just want us to shrug and follow y'all's directions
Y'all don't want us to judge as soon as we don't cosign
Quick to throw a label on us: "Bigots with a closed mind"
Well ain't y'all judging us?
Hold up, talking out of both sides
If it's, "Live let live," then live, let live
You go your way, we go ours
[J.R.:]
I never thought that you would take it this far
And everything you've done to try to make me move
Take a look at my heart and you'll see my scars
But I won't take this no more
I never thought that you would take it this far
And do the things you've done just to make me move
Take a look at my heart and you'll see my scars
But I won't take this no more
You will never bully me, no longer
You will never bully me, no longer
No matter what you say I'll never runaway
I will never be kept silent again
I'm not being judgmental
My argument is not with one group in particular
My argument is with the system
Yeah Jesus was a friend of the sinner
But He wasn't a friend of the system
They wanna tell us that right is wrong and wrong is right
The moment we try to say something they wanna neutralize us
I say it's time to stand up and fight
