I stand up for my pride
I don't wanna be just like anyone
In this world I cannot hide
I must finish what I have begunThat's the way I play
In the modern day
'cause I wanna stay
In the modern dayGot a picture in my mind
Of the way that I wanna be
So I search until I find
The power inside of meIt's another phase
Of the modern dayGotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
So I make a sacrifice
If that's the way it has to beI'm doin' what I feel is right
I'm ready if I need to fightIn the modern way
In the modern dayGotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
If I make a sacrifice
That's the way it has to beLike a motor in overdrive
I feel good and I feel alive
I got no need to beg or borrow
Got a shortcut to tomorrowAnd I'm on my way
To the modern day
Got a lot to say
In the modern day'cause I need to stay
In the modern dayIn the modern day
