To deepen your roots you've got to go through the dirt Endurance is never gained in easy times Foundations are never claimed by closing blinds Muscle is never built without being torn first Life is never lived in fear of the hurt I've never been an advocate of pain But I realize, that's exactly what we need to gain All that we need to be alive There's never been a principle so plain that I sympathize, with those who don't know all there is to gain It goes against all that we are.

I'm not looking for your easter eggs no more Take me off your list, take me off your list I'm not playing all your games or keeping score Call me a pessimist, I won't go along with this Because all I've found 'til now, has not given me a thing But a potential for a cavity, won't you take another stab at me Don't you have enough? I guess its commonly known as a rat race We keep running around 'til we find that cheese This is even worse its a misdirect from the truth where victory is a tease I'm not looking for your easter eggs no more take me off your list, take me off your list Im not playing all your games or keeping score Call me a pessimist, I won't go along with this Because all I've found 'til now has not given me a thing But a potential for a cavity, won't you take another stab at me Don't you have enough? This is furtile ground to teach a child How to manipulate, cheat, and steal Keep going son, you're doing good, you're gonna win A false sense of how victory feels Fill your baskets, fill your baskets now Fill your baskets, fill your baskets to the top I've been made aware, that there's more than chasing prizes Be it noble or selfish they're both distracting We all know that candy isn't nutritious That being said, in an egg hunt, who really wins? Fill your baskets, fill your baskets now Fill your baskets, fill your baskets to the top.

I am a simple man And yes I've got dirty hands I've been working since the day I could walk I've been lying since the day I could talk I won't impress you my dear With sly words or a flatteries cheer I'm learning not to live for myself And the real definition of wealth I am a man and I need help I am a man and I need help If it were up to me, I'd believe in myself I am a man and I need help In a land where cash is king "just show love" is the song they sing I'm not sure we understand the root of the word Or her voice, if true love is heard There's a never ending work in me In my knowledge and hypocrisy Now I'm saved by the faith that I've got Faith by hearing of the word of God. I am a man and I need help I am a man and I need help If it were up to me, I'd believe in myself I am a man and I need help

There's so many things around That wanna bring you down They only wanna draw you in and pin you on the ground. They look and feel good until you do what they wanna do. And then their job is done, they come right up to you take your soul, and run away. I'd like to think, that we have confidence I'd like to think, that we'll be (Chorus) We'll be alright We'll be okay I'd like to think, that we'll be We'll be alright We'll be okay Yeah we'll be alright We'll be okay I had a dream where I was fighting Bulls the size of buildings And that was just the way it was No complaints And the whole time that I was there No way out No I was never scared, a confident step in the ring and this is, the song that I sing I like to think, that that means confidence I like to think, that we'll be (Chorus) Sticks and stones, may break my bones Sticks and stones, may break my bones Sticks and stones, may break my bones Sticks and stones, may break my bones (Chorus)
