Lyrics

I-C-A-N
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD
THAT I EVER HEARD ENDS WITH I-C-A-N
AND IT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT NOW
WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW
WE GOT IN THIS MESS WE ARE IN
CUZ WE NEED TOUGH PEOPLE
THAT'S WHAT TOUGH TIMES DEMAND
THAT'S WHO WE ARE, IT'S WHAT WE DO
CUZ WE'RE AMERICAN

I CAN, I WILL
WORK HARD AND TAKE A STAND
I WON'T, BACK DOWN
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND
I CAN, STAND STRONG
TOLD YOU ONCE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD
THAT YOU EVER HEARD
ENDS WITH I-C-A-N

YOU DON'T NEED TO LIKE ME
I'D RATHER HAVE YOUR RESPECT
YOU MIGHT EVEN DESPISE ME
IT'S SOMETHING I'VE COME TO EXPECT
BUT WHEN YOUR ASS NEEDS SOME SAVIN
WHEN YOU BACKS UP AGAINST THE WALL
YOUR WHITE FLAG WILL BE WAVING
WE KNOW WHO YOU'RE GONNA CALL

I CAN, AND I WILL
BE KIND AND LEND A HAND
I WON'T, BACK DOWN
FROM DEFENDING MY FRIENDS
I MIGHT NOT START, THE FIGHT
BUT I'LL MAKE DAMN SURE HOW IT ENDS
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD
YOU EVER HEARD
ENDS WITH I-C-A-N

FREEDOM'S SURELY HEAVEN SENT
SO IS LIBERTY
WE AREN'T WAITING AROUND FOR THE GOVERNMENT
TO GIVE US EVERYTHING WE NEED
WE BELIEVE AMERICANS MAKE AMERICA GREAT
WE TAKE CARE OF OUR KIDS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS
WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
WE DON'T AOLOGIZE OR COMPROMISE
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU AGAIN
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD YOU'VE EVER HEARD
ENDS WITH I-C-A-N
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD YOU'VE EVER HEARD
ENDS WITH I-C-A-N
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD YOU'VE EVER HEARD
ENDS WITH I-C-A-N
