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 it
|
Said they seen me change
|
I stuck to my decisions
|
On my own and on a mission
|
You won't forget my name
|
|
'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

|
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

On my own and on a 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 no choice
