Proud Reflex Lyrics

there's only so much
we should take
you give a little
but get no break
the world ain't fair
we all now that
the one's who deserve it
get no respect
i wasn't born
to wealth or fame
i came a long way
for you to know my name
where i'm at
is not by luck
i count my blessings
i've had it rough

but i guess i like it
when life is hard
it motivates me
twice as hard
once you push me
i'll never stop
you can say i'm foolish
try and tear me down
you can laugh at me
and i'm no clown
you can do anything you want to
and always be proud

mother told you
it will be alright
life will treat you
how she would like
she forgot to mention
all the wrong
society will slowly
bring along
i wasn't born
to work and die
try and sneak in
a few moments of life
let your dreaming
take you away
if they call you back
ignore them and stay
