Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you hear me, try to understand
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man
My daddy lived a lie
That's just the price that he paid
Sacrifice his life
Just slaving away

*refrain*
Oh if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't wnat to
I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond
Rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge
I show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say
Have a nice day

Take a look around you
Nothing's what it seems
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I've knocked on every doorknob
Every dead end street
Looking for forgivness
Here what's left to believe

*refrain* x2

When the world keeps trying
To drag me down
Gotta raise my hand
Gonna stand my ground
I say
Have a nice day

Have a nice day
