I scoured the internet (okay, so it was only Youtube) for any video with this song so that you all could hear it. It's an obscure little '90s gem called "My Own Way" by the Rembrandts. The lyrics and the music especially scream "I am bad ass, hear me roar," but there's also hint at those intense emotions that we just love our Raphie for. Anyway, here are the lyrics. Go find/listen to it if you can!
"My Own Way" by the Rembrandts
You’ve got to learn how to leave me be, for us to ever get along
You’ve got to give me the kind of time it takes, to prove I’m right or wrong
‘Cause nobody knows what I had to go through, maybe no one even cares
but all the while as the clock was tickin’, I’ve been holed up in my lair
Doin’ things my own way, my own way
You say I don’t have a leg to stand on, so it’s a good thing I’ve got two
But if I had only one leg to stand on, that’s exactly what I’d do
No one can say there’s a right or wrong way, everyone’s got their own advice
But am I back to where I started, after all I’ve sacrificed?
By doin’ things my own way, my own way
I gotta do things my own way, yeah my own way
Watch out
I’ve got these feelings I’m tryin’ to deal with
I’m not so sure you understand
And if I seem to be too preoccupied, to fit into your plans
It’s just that it’s one thing on top another, now it’s one too many high
I wonder how many piles of things it takes, to bury me alive?
I’m doin’ it my own way, my own way
I gotta do things my own way, my own way
Yeah, I gotta do things my own way, my own way
Gotta do things my own way, yeah my own way
My own way, my own my own way
Oh yeah, it’s just the way it is, baby
Yeah
Yeah, my own way, my own way, my own way, my own way
Yeah, my own way, my own way, my own way
My own crazy, my own damn way
