My daddy always was a gentle man

Never the kind to ever force his hand

He would always be the last oone to raise his voice

If anybody ever put us down

Well you can can bet that he would stand his ground

Then he would tell me son sometimes you got no choice



Chorus:

You've got to kick a little and cause a stir

Sometimes you got to make some noise to be heard

If anybody ever tries to hold you back

Yeah you got to kick a little and be tough

You got to let them know you've had enough

Remember that unless you want to finish last

You've got to kick a little



Some people judge you by the way you look

They see you once and say you ain't no good

Feels like they're never gonna take you for who you are

That's when you have to stand up and be strong

And go the extra mile to prove'em all wrong

Just remember when they push you way too far



Repeat Chorus Twice
