My daddy

always was a gentleman

Never the kind

who ever forced his hand

He would always be

the last one

to raise his voice

If anybody ever

put us down

Well, you can bet

that he would

stand his ground

And he would tell me

Son, sometimes

you got no choice

You got to kick a little

And ause a stir

Sometimes you've gotta

make some noise

to be heard

If anybody ever tries

to hold you back

Yeah, you got

to kick a little to be tough

you got to let 'em know

you've had enough

Remember that unless

you wanna finish last

You got to kick a little

Some people

judge you by

the way you look

They see you once

and say you

ain't no good

Feels like they're

never gonna take you

for who you are

That's when you have

to stand up and be strong

And go the extra mile

to prove 'em all wrong

Just remember

when they push you

way too far

You got to kick a little

And cause a stir

Sometimes you've gotta

make some noise

to be heard

If anybody ever tries

to hold you back

Yeah, you got

to kick a little to be tough

you got to let 'em know

you've had enough

Remember that unless

you wanna finish last

You got to kick a little

Yeah, you got

to kick a little

And cause a stir

Sometimes you've gotta

make some noise

to be heard

If anybody ever tries

to hold you back

Yeah, you got

to kick a little to be tough

you got to let 'em know

you've had enough

Remember that unless

you wanna finish last

You got to kick a little

Yeah............
