I like it!

Listen to this anti-cyber bullying rap performed by the GMCBeats Youth Crew to celebrate Safer Internet Day 2015. Don't forget to post a comment!

Lyrics:
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never let a bully get into my head
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never let a bully get into my head
Everybody here put your thumbs up high
if you think these bullies should be taken offline
When we’re online or using an app
We should never have to deal with that
I wanna snap like my screen in half
But really they just want me to react
But I won’t give in, I’ll step on it
Put the message in the bin and won’t let them win!
Cyber bullies live off intimidation
Calling people names humiliation
So if you see something nasty and you don’t know what to do
Don’t let it put you in a mood
If it makes you feel bad then don’t reply
Tell someone that you trust or report it online
Just block the sender
Block the sender
There are so many ways you can stop the pressure
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never
let a bully get into my head
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never let a bully get into my head
I like it
Watching YouTube
I like it
Listening to new tunes
I like it
When my best friend texts me
I like it
Putting up my status or a selfie
I like it
Playing some games
I like it
Challenging my brain
Thought these trolls will never affect me
When I’m online you better respect me
If it’s turning into a problem
One way to stop them is block them
Keyboard warriors and trolls
I will never let them get control
If it’s turning into a problem
One way to stop them is block them
Keyboard warriors and trolls
I will never let them break my soul
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never let a bully get into my head
Coz I like it
Chatting with my friends online
When there’s nothing to do or it’s raining outside
Coz I like it
Expressing myself but I never let a bully get into my head
I like it
Watching YouTube
I like it
Listening to new tunes
I like it
When my best friend texts me
I like it
Putting up my status or a selfie
I like it
Playing some games
I like it
Challenging my brain
Thought these trolls will never affect me
When I’m online you better respect me
