[Intro] I gotta be above it [repeated] I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it... [Verse 1] And I know that I gotta be above it now And I know that I can't let them bring me down And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd And I know that I gotta be above it now I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it... [Verse 2] And I know that I gotta be above it now And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd And I know that I gotta be above it now And I can't let them all just bring me down I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it... [Chorus] This time I'm just gonna take it Or I'm never gonna shake it I'll just close my eyes and make it so that All these little things don't affect me now [Bridge] And I know that I gotta be above it now And I can't let them all just bring me down I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it... [Chorus] This time I'm just gonna take it Or I'm never gonna shake it I'll just close my eyes and make it so that All these little things don't affect me now I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it ,I gotta be above it...
