Talk back,
lay it on the line now
Talk back, tell it like it is now
Stand up for what you believe in
Show them that
you mean business
You've got something to say
if you'll talk back
Talk back, make yourself a place now
Talk back, now all generations
Speak out, let everybody hear you
Wake up,
it's the morning of creation
There's so much you can say,
if you talk back
With respect, reflect the pride
behind the ghetto door,
show desire to light the fire
to still the lion's roar,
build a bridge across the void
that's been too long ignored.
Talk back,
it's your world you're living in,
Talk back if you're tired of givin' in
Talk back
Talk back
And lay it on the lap, now
Talk back
And tell it like it is now
Stand up
For what you believe in
Show them that you
mean business
You've got something to say
If you talk back,
it's your world you're living in
Talk back, if you're tired of giving in
Talk back, if you want to see your dream
Talk back, if you want to
change the scene
Talk back
