I\'m not a dog you can kick around
and expect to stay down
I ain\'t no hound
straight outa the pound
where the only sound
is snarlin\' and barkin\'
I bet you think
your pretty slick
Thinkin\' im home sick
but im strong and healthy
I ain\'t gonna stay down
Im gonna rise
and take the prize
Im gonna break
these family ties
and Im gonna fly
into the sky
for the first time
