I'Ll Come Up Just the Same
when you speak of me in the future
in your quest to destroy my name ,
you can taunt me in your hateful voice
but i'll come up just the same.
why does my appearence make you so mad
do i really boil the blood in your viens,
is it because i'm always smiling
and treat everyone the same.
or because im like a fortune hunter
venturing fourth in search of fame,
you make my roads crooked
but i'll come up just the same.
is it that you want to see me hurt
crying deep down inside,
walking around head held down
like i've lost my pride.
or is it that i scare you
and make you somewhat afraid,
just because i walk around
as if i've got it made.
yea you can hurt me with your gossip
and cause quite a bit of shame,
even belittle me with creul words
i'll come up just the same.
or maybe my vainess offends you
now that really not my fault,
just because it seems to you
that i glide when i walk.
so do whatever you wish
to try and break me /leave me lame,
and just as my ancestors before me
i'll come up just the same.
