Rebel With a Reason

No I ain't got a high school diploma
No I ain't got a masters degree
But what you got to realize
Is that you don't mean shit to me
Because what I want to do in life
Don't take no education
What it takes is pure love and dedication

Being told I'm gonna go nowhere
Being told I'm gonna do nothing
That shit don't phase me bitch I ain't bluffin'
Did ya really think all that shit ya said that it would phase me
Guess again you puto I'm already loco

I know I can't turn back the time
And I know I can't change my state of mind
One thing that I know for sure
Is even if I end up poor
I'll still be strummin' my guitar

I know I can't turn back the time
And I know I can't change my state of mind
One thing that I know for sure
Is even if I end up poor
I'll still be strummin' my guitar

It was so long ago but not too far away
Calumet park is where I used to stay
And when I was a kid everything went right
And now I'm growin' up and it seems to be going wrong
So say what you want to say
And do what you want to do
Take some words of advice from me to you
Be yourself through and through

I know I can't turn back the time
And I know I can't change my state of mind
One thing that I know for sure
Is even if I end up poor
I'll still be strummin' my guitar

Say what you want now
Say what you want now
It has no effect on me
Say what you want now
Say what you want now
