Ever since day one Somebody probably say you wouldn't be nothin' I bet they told you this over and over again on repeat like a re-run Nobody ever told you you could live up To anything you want, don't give up They rather tell you, you're destined for failure That's what they tell you But you just say What about Martin? What about Garvey? What about Rosa? What about Malcolm? What if somebody told they they wouldn't be nothin' And they believed this, think about the outcome Would we even be the way we are today? Even if it weren't, could have been a harder way Even though we lost a lot of people on the way Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place I hope you listen to these wizzords All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve And that we shouldn't try it's no use But that couldn't be further from the truth Don't believe them that's what they told me too When I was growing up (they told me) Letras de cancionesThey told me (that I wouldn't make it too far) And when I battle it will hold up (They told me) they told me, yeah (That I wouldn't get anything) That's what they told me, they told me, they told me When we were little ones That's what they told me, they told me, they told me We're supposed to be kings and queens That's what they told me, they told me, they told me When we don't believe them That's what they told me, they told me, they told me Trying to live the American Dream They say the balance is a eleven each As a reminder the people they would never be Jealousy got them sick without a remedy Thinking when I die nobody's gonna remember me I was told that nobody care So the dreams that I had turned to nightmares Cause this thing called life really ain't fair Need help but it ain't there See it's really hard to stay dedicated When the bottom screaming they was never educated On the come up getting high just to medicate it Cause the teachers just told him he would never make it Now he feeling like he made it cause he stuck in paper But probably won't let him spend the money later Nobody ever told us we could be greater Everybody on the ground in the paper chasers I hope you listen to these wizzords All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve And that we shouldn't try it's no use But that couldn't be further from the truth Don't believe them that's what they told me too When I was growing up (they told me) They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far) And when I battle it will hold up (They told me) they told me, yeah (That I wouldn't get anything) That's what they told me, they told me, they told me When we were little ones That's what they told me, they told me, they told me We're supposed to be kings and queens That's what they told me, they told me, they told me When we don't believe them That's what they told me, they told me, they told me Trying to live the American Dream (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me) They'd rather see me dead, never gone make it (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me) They'd rather see me fail, never gonna be anything (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me) They'd rather see me in jail, you're never gonna be shit (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me) Everybody die, you ain't shit (That's what they told me, they told me, they told me) But not everybody lives, I told you (I told you you was gonna make it) We gotta get out of this When did you tell me shit? You just gotta tell yourself That somehow I'ma make it From Letras Mania
