Gotta be above it [repeated throughout song]

And I know that I gotta be above it now

And I know that I can't let them bring me down

And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd

And I know that I gotta be above it now

I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it...

And I know that I gotta be above it now

And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd

I know that I gotta be above it now

And I can't let them all just bring me down

I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it...

This time I'm just gonna take it

Or I'm never gonna shake it

I'll just close my eyes and make it so that

All those little things don't affect me, now

Know that I gotta be above it now

And I can't let them all just bring me down

I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it, I gotta be above it...

This time I'm just gonna take it

Or I'm never gonna shake it

I'll just close my eyes and make it so that

All these little things don't affect me now
