Born on the streets of the city
There's one thing you just gotta' know
If you want a chance for your survival
When life deals you down a heavy blow
Pick yourself off the ground
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it lying down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Sittin' and cryin' over your coffee
You've got blues for breakfast every day
You can't go on livin' just for the dying
When there's a much, much better way
Pick yourself off the ground
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it Iyin' down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Get yourself up every mornin'
You may be happy, you may be sad
Sure as there's bound to be some good days
You know there's bound to be some bad
So pick yourself off the ground
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't take it Iyin' down
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't throw it all away
Kick back, you've gotta' kick back
Don't let it bring you down
Kick back you've gotta' kick back
