[Verse 1]
They're lightin' fires to dim your light
Saying, "Don't you go and fly too high"
But everybody needs a bullet to fight
Teach you how to stand up right
[Pre-Chorus]
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it
[Chorus]
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right," yeah
[Verse 2]
I don't mind if you don't believe me
Nothin' worth doin' is easy
I know it's hard to keep on keepin'
When they tell you you're just dreamin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it
[Chorus]
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
They'll be saying, "You were right"
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
They're lightin' fires to dim your light
Saying, "Don't you go and fly too high"
But everybody needs a bullet to fight
Teach you how to stand up right
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right," yeah
I don't mind if you don't believe me
Nothin' worth doin' is easy
I know it's hard to keep on keepin'
When they tell you you're just dreamin'
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
