Lately I just don't know   But then again maybe I'm not supposed to   This feeling comes and goes   But in the end I will want are answers   But in return all I get are questions   What is that, what is truth   What is our motivation   Is it to lay down in the street   Protest but no one knows what they mean      You can't keep a good kid down   One who speaks out loud   One whose hope he lets out   Let us all keep our ears to the ground   Smile when we hear the sound   You can't keep a good kid down      I'm tired of only answers   Pregnant with lifeless questions   Is this what you call freedom   Now someone tell me what we're free from   Is it fear, is it understanding   A generation afraid of comprehending   He's just here to raise a question   Make you think cause he thinks   That it's out of the equation      You can't keep a good kid down   One who speaks out loud   One whose hope he lets out   Let us all keep our ears to the ground   Smile when we hear the sound   You can't keep a good kid down      Always   We are always on my mind   On my mind   Always   We are always on my mind   On my mind      You can't keep a good kid down   One who speaks out loud   One whose hope he lets out   Let us all keep our ears to the ground   Smile when we hear the sound   You can't keep a good kid down      You got what you wanted   But you ain't got enough   You took from, you took from
