Stand up Tall

I used to call myself a hippie

Only until I realized

There ain't no stopping people like you

Without a good, clean fight

I learned to stand up tall

Before I learned to crawl

That's right, mama, what's my name?

Nowadays, you're all tryna be my friend

Oh, Lord, it got me so confused

You show me glitter, but I want dirt

Now what am I supposed to do?

I learned to stand up tall

Before I learned to crawl

That's right, mama, what's my name?

Oh, you brought me down so many times before

And my papa told me not to let you get away with it, no more

So, watch out

Oh-oh, oh-whoa

What you done to me then, why can't you do it now?

I guess a man cannot be troubled when he's ready for it, yeah

But I need to justify this angst

If only I could find some peace of mind

I'd fill my heart with love

I learned to stand up tall

Before I learned to crawl

And that's right, mama, what's my name?
