You know baby
I know a lot of people are against you
All the ladies in the world
But you can do whatever you set your mind to do
Can't no one stop you
Believe that

It's time, now's the place, do your thing, it's your world
Don't be scared, its your world, don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world

I can't begin to feel the agony I know you feel
I'm tryin' to break you out of that mold that once was real
But you're grown up and now it's time to let go all your fears
It's time for you to go,
Its time for you to live
You've been under your parents, 
But they can't live for you
You got to go and do 
What's best for you
Make your decisions and live by them and sweat and bleed
You must struggle to be you
Even when you're in need

It's time, now's the place, (now's the place) do your thing, it's your world
Don't be scared, its your world, don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world

I know you expecting help but get out there on your own
Then you'll appreciate all that you have and all you own
And that no one out there can never ever take from you
Do you and all that's expected and you will break right through
This world
This crazy crazy world, (this crazy world)
This cold and harsh world, (this cold and harsh world)
This cruel and foul world
And now you're proud and all grown up and sure a woman now
Then you'll stand up 
Looking ahead, feeling so proud

It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
Don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world
It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
Don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world

You can't be held down, (You can't be you can't be held down no you can't)
No one can stop you know
(I know the struggle's hard but you gotta keep fighting gotta keep going on)
I know you get tired of the bull
(I know you get tired of the bull you wake up everyday and it seems 
Like you can't go on all you gotta do is stick in there, everything will be ok)

It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
Don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world
It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
Don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world
It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
(I know,know, know, know, know, 
Know, know, know, know, know, know, 
Know, know, know, know,know, know,) 
Don't trip, shout it out 
You're the bomb, don't be scared, its your world
It's time, now's the place, do your thing, don't be scared it's your world
Don't trip, shout it out
You're the bomb, don't be scared, it's your world
