Denial, in ordinary English usage, is asserting that a statement or allegation is not true. The same word, and also abnegation (German: Verneinung), is used for a psychological defense mechanism postulated by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. An individual that exhibits such behaviour is described as a denialist or true believer. Denial also could mean denying the happening of an event or the reliability of information, which can lead to a feeling of aloofness and to the ignoring of possibly beneficial information.
The subject may use:
Oh yeah , yeah , come on
You think you are quick
But I'd like to see you keep up with me
You think you're slick
But I'd like to see you pull a trick on me
You think you're so cool
Hey big man you're old school
You think you're smart
But who the hell d'ya think you are talking to
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself
Tell me why keep on denying
Chorus
Everything you say [ denying ]
Everything you do
So be a fool to yourself forever more [ trying ]
Any kind of move [ tell me ]
so what's it gonna prove
You ain't fooling nobody
You ain't fooling nobody
But yourself
I know you're sweet
But i know you don't want to be seen that way
Admit defeat , win or lose
Who cares it's just a game you play
I know you need me
If you stay that way it's never gonna be
You've got your style
But I know what you really want from me
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself
Tell me why keep on denying
Chorus
Check yourself , but don't forget yourself
Cos you're denying , [ Ha ha - check - ha ]
Check yourself , but don't forget yourself
[ You're getting everything you are and even everything you need ]
That's life - so just check yourself
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself
Tell me why keep on denying
