Planet of cruetly, competition, and pride   When the dog feels threatened it's his nature to bite   Are they arrogant, envious, or just insecure?   They're praying like anything that I won't endure   I know where I'm standing, and I know I'll stand firm   Armed with my principles and all that I've learned   Hatred breeds hatred, if the barrage won't desist   I'll be the stronger man because I'll not resist   YES I CAN TAKE IT   You make your fist   YES I CAN TAKE IT   I'll not resist      And as a lotus unaffected by the mud from where it grows   I will stand protected despite all the shit that's thrown   I see you live to conquer, I live to co-exist   And now you know my spirit and I will not resist      YES I CAN TAKE IT   You make your fist   YES I CAN TAKE IT   I'll not resist
