about

A follow up from 'The Summit', this song is a statement to the patriarchal world of mansplaining and the malevolent scapegoating of my life decisions by impatient onlookers

lyrics

He said stand aside and I’ll handle this
You’ve gotten in too deep and now we’re all at risk
Don’t patronise I’ve got it under control
I know I may seem young, but you don’t have to be so cold

So cold

There’s a steady line
For each choice I decide
But I know I’ll stray sometimes
You can say it’s aggressive
Chide every action of mine
I’m just telling you, I’ll get by

I beg don’t roll your head look hard into my eyes
I won’t self destruct so there’s no need to sigh

No need

There’s a steady line
For each choice I decide
But I know I’ll stray sometimes
You can say it’s aggressive
Chide every action of mine
I’m just telling you, I’ll get by

No this is not about conflict
No it’s not my pride
I’ve no business wasting time
You see I’ve got my mission
Man there’s purpose in my drive
Now watch me take the stand

I’m willing to work
I’m willing to pay
I’m holding my edge
Allow me my say

There’s a steady line
For each choice I decide
But I know I’ll stray sometimes
You can say it’s aggressive
Chide every action of mine
I’m just telling you, I’ll get by

No this is not about conflict
No it’s not my pride
I’ve no business wasting time
You see I’ve got my mission
Man there’s purpose in my drive
Now watch me take the stand

I’m gonna take my stand
Take my stand
