Jermaine Jackson - Rebel (With A Cause) lyrics

rate me

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

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

Rebel
