Break Away
We try
To comply
But it don't fly
With me (It don't fly with me)
We grew up
Asking what's up
Never needed spectacles
To see (Don't need anything)
So get up when they put you down (When they put you down)
Turn that vile upside-down (Turn it upside-down, yeah)
So get up when they put you down (When they put you down)
Turn that vile upside-down (Turn it upside-down, yeah, down)
When they're throwing shade
At all we made
Gonna break away
Cause we were the ones (We were the ones)
Yeah we are the ones (We are the ones)
We built a path, we paved a way
Made a play for new horizons
Everyone
Is someone
Since '81
Believe (You best believe me)
So get up when they put you down (When they put you down)
Turn that vile upside-down (Turn it upside-down, yeah, down)
When dark clouds are all around (And they are all around now)
There'll be sunshine to be found (Find it [?] now)
Now they're throwing shade
At all we made
Well that's okay, we're free
Cause we were the ones (We were the ones)
Yeah we are the ones (We are the ones)
We built a path, we paved a way
Made a play for new horizons
My sister, my brother
Be kind to one another
We're part of one another
Just see
We try
To comply
But it don't fly
With me (It don't fly with me)
We grew up
Asking what's up
Never needed spectacles
To see (Don't need anything)
So get up when they put you down (When they put you down)
Turn that vile upside-down (Turn it upside-down, yeah)
Yeah get up when they put you down (When they put you down)
Turn that vile upside-down (Turn it upside-down, yeah, down)
Now they're throwing shade
At the world we made
Well that's okay, we're free
Cause we were the ones (We were the ones)
Yeah we are the ones (We are the ones)
Let's break away, when skies are grey
Make a play for new horizons
