My daddy always was a gentleman   Never the kind to ever force his hand   He would always be the last one to raise his voice      If anybody ever put us down   Oh you can bet that he would stand his ground   Then he would tell me son sometimes you got no choice      You've got to kick a little and cause a stir   Sometimes you got to make some noise to be heard   If anybody ever tries to hold you back      Yeah, you got to kick a little and be tough   You got to let 'em know you've had enough   Remember that unless you wanna finish last   You've got to kick a little      Some people judge you by the way you look   They see you once and say you ain't no good   Feels like they're never gonna take you for who you are      That's when you have to stand up and be strong   And go the extra mile to prove 'em all wrong   Just remember when they push you way too far      You've got to kick a little and cause a stir   Sometimes you got to make some noise to be heard   If anybody ever tries to hold you back      Yeah, you got to kick a little and be tough   You got to let 'em know you've had enough   Remember that unless you wanna finish last   You've got to kick a little, oh hang on      Yeah, you've got to kick at little, cause a stir   Sometimes you got to make some noise to be heard   If anybody ever tries to hold you back      Yeah, you got to kick a little and be tough   You got to let 'em know you've had enough   Remember that unless you wanna finish last   You've got to kick a little, yeah
