rebel with a cause

Jermaine Jackson

Took a lot of balls to do it
I took a lot of heat from it
I had to watch my back, no matter where I was at
Everybody s gunnin for me

Family did not approve it
I broke a lot of rules to do this
Said they seen me change
I stuck to my decisions
On my own and on my mission
You won t forget my name

Chorus:
Cause I m a rebel with a cause
And I live my life backed up against the wall
Don T wanna live my life how it s supposed to be
I gotta live my life cause it s up to me
Rebel with a cause
Rebel

The Jackson 5 is history (in the books I mean)
Did a lot of things for me
Got me where I m at
Gotta tip my hat, but I ain t goin out like that
There was a time that I could never let go
There was a day when I could have no control
There was a place I d never been
Now with a cause, I ve got to win
I gotta prove it, you better move it
Or I might just run you down

Chorus

Family did not approve it
I broke a lot of rules to do this
Said they seen me change
I stuck to my decisions
On my own and on my mission
You won t forget my name

You can call yo police
Cause I m goin bring on the noise
I m a rebel with a cause
With a pocket full of balls
And you don t leave me no choice

Chorus

Rebel with a cause
Rebel
You can call yo police
Rebel
Cause I m gon bring on the noise
Rebel
You can jump out your seat
Rebel
Rockin with me and the boys

Chorus

Rebel
Rebel
