The Strong-Minded Girl


Peer pressure is crazy! But only I control me! So you can’t make me see, anything I didn’t already see. You say “Go ‘head, try it! It’s not gone hurt!” But I’ll be the judge of that when you’re six feet in the dirt. I won’t listen to you! I only follow God’s rules! ‘Cause that’s the ONLY thing leading me to the promise land, using the right tools. Peer pressure is crazy! But only I control me! So you can’t make me see anything I didn’t already see.
