My father said never give up son Just look how good Cassius become Mohammed, Mahatma, and Nelson Kosa, St. Theresa when Not scared to be strong' Now you could run and just say “They're right No there'll never be no one in my whole life” Or you could turn and see the wind that blows 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, the war won in war won Not scared to be strong Now you could run and just say “They're right No there'll never be no one in my whole life” Or you could turn and see them And say they're weak, 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 You can break through the chains And you'll go higher than they've ever gone Yeah 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 pay my intuition I couldn't afford tuition My funds was insufficient and it felt I'm in prison And suddenly 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 tryna change k's to m', what does it say And maybe I could be the new Ali of music, probably Instead of doing it just as a hobby Like these boys told me to I guess you either watch the show or you show ‘em proof Prove it to them you prove it to yourself But honestly its 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 We on the verge of doing 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 Yeah in you I see someone special You've got bright in your brains You can break through the 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
