When i was just a boy, everybody told me
What I should do, and who I should be

I got some advice I finally have to say Stand Back (Stand Back)

They never understood the kinda man I am
I do my own thinking got ′lotta big plans

For all of you who wanna bring me down I have news
Stand in my way I promise you'll lose

Stand Back (Stand back)
