I'm gonna jump back
You better hold on
I've been working since the livin' dawn
I ain't your baby in this babylon
I ain't no sycophant with a black heart
Or a silver spoon with a head start
But I need a spotlight
Before I fall apart

Baby I'm righteous
Baby I'm fierce
So maybe my music's splitting my ears
I tell you I'm not the one to fall into your noose
Cut me loose
I'm gonna give you love and show you how to really put it to use

'Cuz I'm a rock child
You gotta let me roll
Baby I'm a rock child
I'll leave you fully blown
Yeah, I'm a rock child
So whatcha gonna do?

I've been a little girl
Livin' center stage
I've been sleeping in a guitar case
I'm gonna pull you in and push it in your face
I ain't no sycophant with a black heart
Or a silver spoon with a head start
But I need a spotlight before I fall apart

Oh baby I'm righteous
Baby I'm fierce
So, maybe my music's splitting my ears
I tell you I'm not the one to fall into your noose
Cut me loose
I'm gonna give you love and show you how to really put it to use
'Cuz I'm a rock child
You gotta let me roll
Baby I'm a rock child
I'll leave you fully blown
Baby, I'm a rock child
So whatcha gonna do?
