The Modern Day

I stand up for my pride I don't wanna be just like anyone In this world I cannot hide I must finish what I have begun That's the way I play In the modern day 'cause I wanna stay In the modern day Got a picture in my mind Of the way that I wanna be So I search until I find The power inside of me It's another phase Of the modern day Gotta face up to this life Can't let it get the best of me So I make a sacrifice If that's the way it has to be I'm doin' what I feel is right I'm ready if I need to fight In the modern way In the modern day Gotta face up to this life Can't let it get the best of me If I make a sacrifice That's the way it has to be Like a motor in overdrive I feel good and I feel alive I got no need to beg or borrow Got a shortcut to tomorrow And I'm on my way To the modern day Got a lot to say In the modern day 'cause I need to stay In the modern day In the modern day
