They spoke to you in terms of "don't" They used five words or less They never asked you how you felt Where we come form, we drink or we suppress When you cried at two, they smiled at you Said "Measure up now, little one" And in school, you bit your lip When you were hit behind the buildings Kids tried real hard to make you cave but you didn't You hit back It was your reputation's birthday When they yelled Rocky at you Because of the punches you threw Rocky, Rocky They wanted to be like you There was discomfort When emotion started sipping out at inappropriate times It felt safer to keep it locked up inside Felt safer to sleep with teeth grinding at nights Grinding your teeth, lalalalalalala Grinding, lalalalalalale Grinding, you were just like me But then it happened, something bad Made something grow inside of you like a volcano And it was too big to control You tried to run away but it ran after you You're scared as sh** as you're letting go But as you do I love, I love, I love I love you more Rocky, you're a human now Society tried to smother you But never could Caged up men everywhere Led to believe that weakness is not a strength You must lead them now, you must lead them I loved you before But now when you lay your head on my lap And you say it's too much I love you more I loved you before but now When you're arming up to fight your own head I love you more I loved you before but now When you're speaking like you're not sure I love you more I loved you before I love you Rocky I love you more When you put down your gloves Let us share the pants You can carry my load And I'll carry yours I love you more When you're speaking like you're not sure I love you more I loved you before but now When you're arming up to fight your own head I love you more I loved you before I love you Rocky I love you more When you put down your gloves Let us share the pants You can carry my load And I'll carry yours I love you more When you're speaking like you're not sure I love you more I loved you before I love you Rocky I loved you before I love you Rocky I loved you before I love you Rocky
