Say what you want about me and about the way I live my life
You call yourself a friend and yet you turn your back on me
Your words mean absolutely nothing. This is the calling in my life

Here we go! It’s not about the fortune and fame (fortune and fame)
Not the American dream (the American dream)
This is so much more, more than you and me
We don’t need your condemning

Say what you want about me and the way I live my life
This time it’s coming back on you
I am holding true to my calling. This is it
We’re never giving up

No, we’re never giving up and you had the nerve to go and call yourself my brother
No, we’re never giving up
Your fate is yours and my fate is mine. So keep your mouth shut!

Can’t hold us down, can’t keep us quiet
There’s people starving and searching for the truth
We come together and stand united. We’re going to make it with or without you

You just can’t understand what this is all about unless you see the world through my eyes
Fall back in line. You’re all the same; you’re wasting my time
I’m in a spiritual state of mind. So get yours, 'cause I’mma get mine. Step off!

I’m holding true to my calling. This is it
I’m holding true to my convictions
I’m holding true to my calling (It’s all I am)
I’m holding true to my convictions

Say what you want about me and about the way I live my life
You call yourself a friend and yet you turn your back on me
Your words mean absolutely nothing
This is the calling and we’re never giving up
No, we’re never giving up (x3)
