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
