Oh the heat is on, and my back's against the wall
You know it's tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna give up in the fight
'Cause after the battle is done, all you've got left is your pride

Chorus:
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way

Here in the danger zone, it's a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I won't be wonderin' why
And I'll know that under the gun, I am the one who's got the right to decide

chorus

And if you don't play my game I won't play, I'm gonna do it my way

I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I've got the right to decide
