I'm walking the streets and i hear what you say

Advicing me tilling me how to play

I know your name it's called Mr.Mean

One thing i've learned you don't know beans

I touch the sky

Far above the frozen minds

You can't kill my dreams

You can't kill my spirit

I was born to be free

You think you know what is better for me

Holding me lectures of how i should be

Shrugging my shoulders i leave you behind

Anyway i look at it you are blind
