| My father said never give up son
|
| Just look how good Cassius become
|
| Muhammad, Mahatma, and Nelson
|
| Not scared to be strong
|
| (I mean, what if they say I’m no good? What if they say «Get outta here, kid,
|
| you got no future»?)
|
| Now you could run and just say they’re right
|
| No I’ll never be no one in my whole life
|
| Or you could turn and say no wait they’re wrong
|
| And get to keep on dancing all life long
|
| My father said never give up son
|
| Just look what Amelia and Joan done
|
| Or Rosa, Teresa their war won
|
| Not scared to be strong
|
| Now you could run and just say they’re right
|
| No I’ll never be no one in my whole life
|
| Or you could turn and say no wait, they’re wrong
|
| And get to keep on dancing all life long
|
| Yeah you could be someone special
|
| You’ve got bright in your brains and lightning in your veins
|
| You’ll go higher than they’ve ever gone
|
| In you I see someone special
|
| You’ve got fire in your eyes and when you realize you’ll go further than we’ve
|
| ever gone
|
| Just turn it on
|
| Look I paid my intuition I couldn’t afford tuition
|
| My funds was insufficient, it felt like I’m in prison
|
| Until I realized I had to set my mind free
|
| I was trusting statistics more than I trust me
|
| Get a degree, good job, 401k, but I’m trying to turn k’s to m’s,
|
| what does it take?
|
| And maybe I could be the new Ali of music prolly
|
| Instead of doing it just as a hobby like these boys told me to
|
| I guess you either watch the show or you show and prove
|
| Prove it to them or you prove it to yourself but honestly it’s better if you do
|
| it for yourself
|
| Never complacent till we hit the oasis
|
| One life don’t waste it feel my heart races, success I taste it, ah
|
| Ah we on the verge of getting every single thing that we deserve
|
| Yeah you could be someone special
|
| You’ve got fire in your eyes I see heaven inside you’ll go further than we’ve
|
| ever gone
|
| In you I see someone special
|
| You’ve got bright in your brains you can break through those chains you’ll go
|
| higher than we’ve ever gone
|
| Just turn it on
|
| In you I see someone special
|
| Don’t go to war with yourself
|
| Just turn, just turn, just turn it on and you can’t go wrong |
