Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
|
|
Ain't nobody seen you
|
Can nobody scold you
|
Can nobody blame you,
|
And make you feel bad
|
|
Nobody should tie you
|
Tell you I told you
|
Nobody should ride you,
|
About the commitments you had.
|
|
Cuz they done learned you
|
And they done burned you
|
Showed you idealistic is all you were
|
Everybody gotta realize
|
That we all had to compromise
|
Had to put on suit and ties
|
When push came to shove
|
|
(it's seems like)
|
|
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
|
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
|
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
|
|
Nobody can know
|
Nobody should tease you
|
Not try to disown you (bizown?)
|
And make you feel strange
|
Nobody got to explain
|
Ain't nothing really to explain
|
Everything that rearrange--- (?)
|
and the weather can change (?)
|
|
But they done taught you
|
Cuz they done caught you
|
Showed you unrealistic is all you was
|
So everybody once believed
|
Was only showing how naive
|
Gotta give up to be free
|
When push came to shove.
|
|
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
|
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
|
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
|
|
Well, everybody knew somehow we was somehow running late
|
And with the captains overboard, who was handling a ship of fate?
|
And all we knew was what we really did not know
|
And that's when push was sure 'nough coming to shove
|
|
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of...
|
|
Cuz they done learned you
|
And they done burned you
|
Showed you idealistic is all you was
|
Everybody gotta realize
|
That we all had to compromise
|
Had to put on suit and ties
|
When push came to shove
|
|
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
|
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
|
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
