Have you heard the news?
I€™m doing what I said I would
So now you say
Boy, I always knew you could
My wildest dreams
Murdered by reality
I gave all I could give you
But now I€™m taking back what belongs to me
I read you like a drugstore book
How€™d I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
You€™re no friend, and buddy, I€™m no fool
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can say
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
No one€™s gonna stand in my way
I€™ve done my time
I€™ve given up my pound of flesh
So why can€™t the man seem to understand
That I€™ve already passed the test
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But I€™m here to make a big, big sound
It€™s your turn to lose and it€™s my turn to win
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can say
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
No one€™s gonna stand in my way
I know you can never go back
Once you turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that
I€™m not a kid anymore
You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my soul give in
But now I€™m here to make a big, big sound
It€™s your turn to lose and it€™s my turn to win
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can say
Ain€™t nothin€™ you can do about it
No one€™s gonna stand in my way
