Jackson Jermaine Rebel (with A Cause) Lyrics

Rebel (with A Cause) Lyrics

Took a lot of balls to do it

 I took a lot of heat from it

 I had to watch my back, no matter where I was at

 Everybody's gunnin' for me

 

 Family did not approve it

 I broke a lot of rules to do this

 Said they seen me change

 I stuck to my decisions

 On my own and on my mission

 You won't forget my name

 

 Chorus: 

 Cause I'm a rebel with a cause

 And I live my life backed up against the wall

 Don'T wanna live my life how it's supposed to be

 I gotta live my life cause it's up to me

 Rebel with a cause

 Rebel

 Rebel

 

 The Jackson 5 is history (in the books I mean) 

 Did a lot of things for me

 Got me where I'm at

 Gotta tip my hat, but I ain't goin' out like that

 There was a time that I could never let go

 There was a day when I could have no control

 There was a place I'd never been

 Now with a cause, I've got to win

 I gotta prove it, you better move it

 Or I might just run you down

 

 Chorus

 

 Family did not approve it

 I broke a lot of rules to do this

 Said they seen me change

 I stuck to my decisions

 On my own and on my mission

 You won't forget my name

 

 You can call yo' police

 Cause I'm goin' bring on the noise

 I'm a rebel with a cause

 With a pocket full of balls

 And you don't leave me no choice

 

 Chorus

 

 Rebel with a cause

 Rebel

 You can call yo' police

 Rebel 

 Cause I'm gon' bring on the noise

 Rebel

 You can jump out your seat

 Rebel

 Rockin' with me and the boys

 

 Chorus

 

 Rebel

 Rebel

 Rebel
