Chill

No, I'm not saying sorry For standing up for me And I'm done being worried For saying what I need If you can't handle the truth, then You can leave 'cause I'm not movin' 'Cause we're fighting this battle And refuse to be losin' You ask, Can I relax? Can I ignore it and move on? But I'm telling you, "No," I won't tolerate these wrongs You tried to say that I'm not tough You don't know what this life's about Told me I wasn't smart enough Before you even heard me out I bring the fire, I bring the flames Now I bet you won't forget my name 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game No, no, don't tell me to chill 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game It's not that we're impatient It's just been too many years No, nothing's been complacent But we still live in fear But our future's looking brighter 'Cause you know that we are fighters You try to break our bonds, but They only get tighter You ask, can I relax? Can I ignore it and move on? But I'm telling you, "No," I won't tolerate these wrongs You say, "Show me your body, babe" But then tell me it's not allowed You tell me I should hesitate If I don't agree with the crowd I bring the fire, I bring the flames Now I bet you won't forget my name 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game No, no, don't tell me to chill 'Cause boy you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game If you had to live like this, yeah Swear you'd understand our wish, yeah Until we make it stop Can't you at least let us talk 'Cause these feelings won't go nowhere Can't be frontin' like I don't care I'll die here on this hill, oh And I'll never, ever, chill, no If you say, "Tone it down a notch" I'll make a point of being loud It ain't enough to sit and watch I'm standing strong and standing proud I bring the fire, I bring the flames Now I bet you won't forget my name 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game No, no, don't tell me to chill 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game No, no, don't tell me to chill 'Cause boy, you know I'll never chill When you're the one who starts the game
