It's On

Don’t be good just to be good, Because it makes you seem right, Do good because you’re better than bad, Because you’re up for the fight, And put up your dukes, call the bad out, Point out where bad words are wrong, Sing it out loud, for all people to hear, Sing it loud like it’s a song, And rejoice this defiant voice in the dark, Rejoice the voice that you are, Rejoice the line in the sand where you stand, Be proud of the good in your heart, Then stand up tall after defeating the bad, Defeating bad things that were said, Because, at the end, it’s you that matters, Defeating the bad in your head.
