And you're so quick to say what I can't do
You criticize my actions
But I don't see you standin' in my shoes
I'm goin' the wrong way, I'm doin' the wrong things
Every word just gives me fuel
So come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
And tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
And I'll dig my feet right in
And tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
For every step I take
You're right there trying to block my next move
And if you're making me feel bad
Then tell me then do you feel good
I'm just human, all I'm doin'
Is what my heart tells me I should
So come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
And tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
And I'll dig my feet right in
And tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
It motivates me more and more
And I think it's time they know
Give them something to look for
And I can't wait for the day
I can rub things in your face
I ain't gon' stop till I'm done
I'll reach the top, I'm number one
For every time you try and tell me no
I ain't listening, keep on keeping on
Tell me no
And I'll show you I can
And tell me no
And I'll dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
Tell me no
And I'll show you I can
Tell me no
And I'll dig my feet right in
Tell me no
Just tell me that I can't win
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong
Go on and go
Tell me no
I'm reachin' for my dreams And you're so quick to say what I can't do You criticize my actions But I don't see you standin' in my shoes I'm goin' the wrong way, I'm doin' the wrong things Every word just gives me fuel So come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on And tell me no And I'll show you I can And tell me no And I'll dig my feet right in And tell me no Just tell me that I can't win So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong Go on and go Tell me no For every step I take You're right there trying to block my next move And if you're making me feel bad Then tell me then do you feel good I'm just human, all I'm doin' Is what my heart tells me I should So come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on And tell me no And I'll show you I can And tell me no And I'll dig my feet right in And tell me no Just tell me that I can't win So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong Go on and go Tell me no No, no, no, no, no, no, no It motivates me more and more And I think it's time they know Give them something to look for And I can't wait for the day I can rub things in your face I ain't gon' stop till I'm done I'll reach the top, I'm number one For every time you try and tell me no I ain't listening, keep on keeping on Tell me no And I'll show you I can And tell me no And I'll dig my feet right in Tell me no Just tell me that I can't win So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong Go on and go Tell me no Tell me no And I'll show you I can Tell me no And I'll dig my feet right in Tell me no Just tell me that I can't win So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong Go on and go Tell me no So come on, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong Go on and go Tell me no Explain Request ×
