Hit The Ground Running
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They tell you what you can't do
Tell you what you can't say
Don't wanna play by these rules
So I'm gonna do it anyway
If they say that you ain't strong enough
Rough enough or tough enough
Tell 'em where to shove it up
That you're never gonna give it up
Don't want to take it easy
Don't want to take it slow
I got here the hard way
And I'm never letting go
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
When it's down to the wire
And the crowd is going wild
Everybody's on their feet
And you won't be denied
Records are made to be broken
You can't measure your heart or your pride
You got here the hard way
And you want it all tonight
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
"They tell you what you can't do
Tell you what you can't say
Don't wanna play by these rules
So I'm gonna do it anyway
If they say that you ain't strong enough
Rough enough or tough enough
Tell 'em where to shove it up"
That you're never gonna give it up
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
Don't give in without a fight
Hit the ground running
Give it all you got tonight
Hit the ground running
