Rebel Lyrics - Babyface

Written by kayo, daryl simmons, l.a. reid, babyface, jermaine jackson (1991) 

Performed by jermaine jackson 

Took a lot of balls to do it 

I took a lot of heat from it 

I had to watch my back, no matter where I was at 

Everybody's gunnin' for me 

Family did not approve it 

I broke a lot of rules to do it 

Said they seen me change 

I stuck to my decisions 

On my own and on a mission 

You won't forget my name

'cause I'm a rebel with a cause 

And I live my life backed up against the wall 

Don't wanna live my life how it's supposed to be 

I gotta live my life 'cause it's up to me 

Rebel with a cause

The jackson 5 is history (in the books I mean) 

Did a lot of things for me 

Got me where I'm at 

Gotta tip my hat, but I ain't goin' out like that 

There was a time that I could never let go 

There was a day when I could have no control 

There was a place I'd never been 

Now with a cause, I've got to win 

I gotta prove it, you better move it 

Or I might just run you down

Family did not approve it 

I broke a lot of rules to do it 

Said they seen me change 

I stuck to my decisions 

On my own and on a mission 

You won't forget my name 

You can call yo' police 

Cause I'm goin' bring on the noise 

I'm a rebel with a cause 

With a pocket full of balls 

And you don't leave no choice 

Hook 

Rebel with a cause 

Rebel 

You can call yo' police 

Rebel 

Cause I'm goin' bring on the noise 

Rebel 

You can jump out your seat 

Rebel 

Rockin' with me and the boys
