Lyrics

This life is kind of crazy sometimes, But there is no need to add to negativity Your mind is the only weapon you need So together we all have the power to stop the violence And put the guns down They don't want to see me make it (Still gonna make it) That's why they always hatin' (Why they always hatin') They don't wanna see me win, they'd rather see me dead (Watch out, watch out) They don't want to see me make it (Still gonna make it) That's why they always hatin' (Why they always hatin') Don't you know that you were born to win, What you gotta do is stay a button pin, stay awake and watch out Just because I was raised in the ghetto don't mean I can't make it to another level (I swear I will make it) Just because you're rolling the streets Don't mean you got it wrong with the [?] My mama told me you're better than that She said, you either lead or you follow the path They only make room for the best, 'Cause real leaders don't follow the rest (They don't know how to follow) The streets got guns, police got guns But that don't mean I need one (I don't gotta have a gun) Police got guns, the streets got guns But that don't mean you need one (You don't gotta have a gun) They don't want to see us make it (Still gonna make it) That's why we gon' make it (Why you always hatin') They don't wanna see us win, they'd rather see us dead (Watch out, watch out) They don't want to see us make it (Still gonna make it) That's why they always hatin' (Why they always hatin') Don't you know that you were born to win, What you gotta do is stay a button pin, stay awake and watch out I'm tired of seeing people dying on the news All I see is crying I need to see my people trying In the jungle they just roll with the lions ‘Cause if it's a jungle, I dare, boy, it's a jungle And they don't want you to grow, they wanna stunt you You need to start raising the bar, Dream big and to reach for the stars (All you gotta do is reach) Police got guns, the streets got guns But that don't mean I need one (I don't gotta have a gun) The streets got guns, police got guns But that don't mean you need one (You don't gotta have a gun) They don't want to see us make it (Still gonna make it) That's why we gon' make it (Why you always hatin') They don't wanna see us win, they'd rather see us dead (Watch out, watch out) They don't want to see us make it (Still gonna make it) That's why they always hatin' (Why they always hatin') Don't you know that you were born to win, What you gotta do is stay a button pin, stay awake and watch out
