Mike:
2
This is a story of them against us, win or lose
3
Forcing your feet into someone else's shoes
4
Everybody's got something to say, that we ought to
5
Live their way, what we're doing's not okay
6
In this world everybody's got a chip on
7
Both sides of the neck, got no respect
8
Wait up a sec
9
You ever feel like the pressure is
10
Too much to take, too much weight?
11
Ladies and gentlemen
12
If anybody can hear me right now please shout back
13
We're not the only ones feeling so trapped
14
In the dream of somebody else, in fact
15
They got their heads full of some overblown scheme
16
Opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen
17
And all they want to do is push you to be that
18
And all you want to do is scream back
19
Holly / Tak / Mike:
20
Gonna be sombody
21
(For anybody telling me I can't)
22
Gonna be someone
23
(For anyone who told me I had no chance)
24
Gonna be somebody
25
(I'm telling you the time has come)
26
Gonna be someone
27
(And maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done)
28
We don't sleep to dream, we sleep to build stamina
29
Energy to do our thing, get your camera
30
Cause this ride is about to begin
31
Sit down and buckle it in, lemme say it again
32
In this world everybody's got a chip on
33
Both sides of the neck, got no respect
34
Wait up a sec
35
When I was young they said the
36
Odds of making it were slim to none
37
Ladies and, fuck it
38
I'm tired of them saying the dream you have
39
Doesn't exist, telling you you're worthless saying you should quit
40
Basically telling you that you'll never be shit
41
Really they're pissed cause they'll never achieve some
42
Opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen
43
And all they want to do is push you to be that
44
And all you want to do is scream back
45
Lupe Fiasco:
46
They're gonna think you're crazy
47
Mumbling to yourself in the basement all day
48
Uh-uh-uh-ing and to yourself
49
My pops didn't dig it with shoveling it to myself
50
My boys used to get it they dug it because they felt
51
My undertaking took me I was making in my stealth
52
A wealth of rhymes of crazy I would chuckle to myself
53
Then they went into the mental rolodex
54
See I knew 'em by heart like a brain in my chest
55
Then I took 'em to school where subjects were getting felt
56
Books under my seat notebook laying on my desk
57
My teacher's like, "Mr. Jaco?"
58
"Yes?"
59
"With all that knowledge, you ain't trying to college
60
Be a lawyer or a doctor, get a whole lot of dollars
61
Rather degrade woman and glorify violence?"
62
Well the work that works for me might not work for you
63
No homework, I got work to do
