They tell us just to listen
We don't need to compete
They don't think that we're able
To stay and take the heat
They have created boundaries
In their large, unwritten book
They don't care what we think
But sure care how we look
We're supposed to hold back
They've said it's not our place
To tell them what we know
To point out their mistakes
We're not here for your entertainment
Or killing time till our engagement
We're fired up; we're on a mission
It time that you sit up and listen
We have proven ourselves
But it's never been enough
They keep hiding the fact
That the ideas come from us
So we've followed their rules
And received no reward
Made great sacrifices
And have worked twice as hard
A resentment inside
Is what we all now feel
But we are strong and proud
We won't cave in and yield
We're not here for your entertainment
Or killing time till our engagement
We're fired up; we're on a mission
It time that you sit up and listen
And listen
It's more than a march, It's time to move on
Don't let them tell you - you don't belong
You may not realize that you are this strong
But soon they'll know that they were wrong
They'll look around and watch you rise
Without their help - they'll be surprised
You won't look back to see where you've been
Cause you always knew you had strength within
We're standing up to speak
We'll let our voices be heard
We'll rise up to take our place
And we will not be deterred
We don't listen anymore
We can succeed on our own
We've got some things to do
And we can get them done
We're not here for your entertainment
Or killing time till our engagement
We're fired up; we're on a mission
It time that you sit up and listen
