Did I have to have my heart broken before I began to live my life
I had to feel all that hurt before I finally felt alive
All the pretentious people trying to knock us down
they are simply jealous we must rise above
All the pretentious fools who try to bring us down
it's a life that they don't understand
And I have learned all the hard lessons I need inorder to survive
so now I intend to get out there and enjoy, enjoy my life
All the pretentious people trying to knock us down
they are simply jealous we must rise above
All the pretentious fools who try to bring us down
it's a life that they don't understand
I'd rather be hated for who I am then loved for what I am not
It's the simple things in this life we take forgranted day by day
All the pretentious people trying to knock us down
they are simply jealous we must rise above
All the pretentious fools who try to bring us down
it's a life that they don't understand
it's a life that they don't understand
