[Verse 1]
And I hope you feel my pain
Hope you don't forget my name
For the cause I claim
and the reason I came... tell me, was it all in vain?
I work ball and chain
through the midnight rain I'd sing...
And the man would say:
"Stop the music playing loud and feel"
'Cause they don't wanna hear
Oh lord, they don't wanna hear
But it's loud and clear
and it's deep inside my soul...
"Fo'all damn nations, hear!"
[Chorus (X4):]
Raise some hands, say my name 'n let it rain, yeah
Raise some hands, say my name 'n let it rain
Raise some hands, say my name 'n let it rain, yeah
Raise some hands, say my name 'n let it rain
[Verse 2]
And I refuse to lose, no -
I've never been the type to quit
You'd probably give up now and just turn back around
But that's one of many differences, because -
I don't care what the distance is,
I told you I'd take it all the way,
I couldn't just walk away and just pretend like I don't have more to say
"Stop the music playing loud and feel"
'Cause they don't wanna hear
Oh lord, they don't wanna hear
But it's loud and clear
And it's deep inside my soul
They can't hold me down no more
They gotta let me go!
[Chorus (X4)]
[Verse 3]
'Cause I know what I gotta do
I couldn't stop now even if I wanted to
They told me: "Give it up, it's impossible"
Never bury my head in the sand like the ostriches do
And I'm young and I still got a lot to prove
I can't stop, won't stop, unstoppable
Elevator broken down on obstacles
'Til I heard a voice from the other side of the room
telling me to...
"Stop the music playing loud and feel"
'Cause they don't wanna hear
Oh lord, they don't wanna hear
But it's loud and clear
And it's deep inside my soul
They can't hold me down no more
They gotta let me go!...
