They pick you up but they throw you right back
No sign of feeling with a heart so black
Sticks and stones may hurt me right now
But that won't make me fall in this trap

So where do you come from
Do you know that you're not alone?
And I'm hoping that they'll change
But this feeling will go away

Cause this is, this is my payback
Baby I'm on my way
I've got brains over power yeah, making it harder
Honey I'm on my way
Cause now all I wanna say
This is my payback

So here I stand, take a chance on me
Can't hide as I rush through my
So what's the difference between you and me
Got this new direction, can I set you free

So where do you come from
Do you know that you're not alone?
And I'm hoping that they'll change
But this feeling will go away

Cause this is, this is my payback
Baby I'm on my way
I've got brains over power yeah, making it harder
Honey I'm on my way
Cause now all I wanna say
This is my payback

Baby I'm on my way
So do you  see my fall
I know that I can't go wrong
Honey I'm on my way
Cause this is, this is my payback

These writings on the wall don't change
We're caught in the rhythm
No way breaking from these dreams
Forgetting the system

Cause this is, this is, this is
Baby I'm on my way
I've got brains over power yeah, making it harder
Honey I'm on my way
Cause now all I wanna say
This is my payback

Baby I'm on my way
So do you see my fall
I know that I can't go wrong
Honey I'm on my way
This is my payback
Baby I'm on my way, my baby
This is my payback
