NEVER COMPROMISE

Chorus
Never compromise conviction
Never compromise the race
Just to make others feel
Comfortable in their place
Never compromise your standards
Never ease up on the fight
Just to make them feel
Wrong is right
No no no no no
Never compromise

Verse 1

They say it's just a little white lie
And no one will find out
They laugh and call you "chicken"
But that's not what it's about
A lie, no matter how big or small
Is O-U-T, it's out
Don't let them talk you into it
Tell them what it's all about

Verse 2

Friends, at times, get pushy
Try to make you go their way
To do the things you shouldn't do
Or say things you shouldn't say
It's hard, I know, to go against the flow
'Specially when they call you names
But the end result is greater
When you turn and walk away
