I first got to know the song Determinate when I watched the movie Lemonade Mouth many years ago. Listening to it again few weeks ago, the lyrics got to me and I decided to share it with you as the song of the week this week. I’m sure you’ll love it.
Determinate captures several emotions starting with worry, then fear and anxiety and then grit and taking charge.
I like the song because it captures some our experiences in life- worry, fear, anxiety, etc. However, when you feel fear and anxiety, do you just cower and throw a pity party or do you turn the table around by digging down to your inner grit and taking charge?
When life throws you lemon, take them and make some lemonade out of it.
Below, you’ll find the song lyrics and links to download. Enjoy!!!
Determinate Lyrics
I’m crazy worried
Messing with my head this fear
I’m so sorry
You know you gotta get it out
I can’t take it
That’s what being friends about
I can’t deny
Tonight I wanna up and hide
And get inside
It isn’t right
I gotta live in my life
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it

Determinate, determinate
Push until you can’t and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate
And waste a day
I gotta get myself on stage
I shouldn’t wait or be afraid
The chips will fall where they may
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Determinate, determinate
Push until you can’t and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate

Use it like a veteran
Renegade, lemonade, music is my medicine
Go ahead and try to name a band we ain’t better than
Reason why the whole world’s picking us instead of them
People need a breather cause they’re feeling the adrenaline
Stop! Now hurry up and let us in, knock
‘Cause we’re coming to your house and
People keep on smiling with lemons in their mouth
I’m the real deal, you know how I feel
Why they in it for the mil I’m just in it for the thrill
Get down now I ain’t playin’ around put your feet up on the ground
And just make that sound like
Determinate, determinate
Push until you can’t and then demand more
Determinate, determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, determinate
Come on and get it going
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
On the dance floor
On the dance floor
Dance floor
Determinate
