Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On Franklin & Normandy
A house 'bout eighteen deep
Kids play in bloody streets, but why?
Is dope and pro-misery a note for you and me?
You're taught to live and breathe those lines
[Verse 2]
But you don't gotta change your life
You just gotta free your mind
Ain't nobody gon' do what you do for yourself (For yourself)
You know when it's wrong or right
Even if it's black and white
Ain't nobody gon' do what you do for yourself
[Verse 3]
I know it's hard to stand what you don't understand
(You don't understand)
You wanna say it, but you can't explain it
I know it's hard to stand what you don't understand
(You don't understand)
Let's find the fire and finish what you started
(Finish what you started) Started
What you started
What you started
What you started
[Verse 4]
From 13, the change I've seen, TV's reality
It's killin' all the real inside (None of this is real)
Why raise to take the lead with shackles on your feet?
'Cause nothin' is for keeps when you die
[Verse 5]
You don't gotta change your life
You just gotta cross that line (Ooh)
Ain't nobody gon' do what you do for yourself (Do for yourself)
You know when it's wrong or right (Ooh, wrong or right)
Even if it's black and white (If it's black or white)
Ain't nobody gon' do what you do for yourself
[Verse 6]
I know it's hard to stand what you don't understand
(You don't understand)
You wanna say it, but you can't explain it
I know it's hard to stand what you don't understand
(You don't understand)
Let's find the fire and finish what you started
(Finish what you started) Started, hey
What you started
What you started, hey
What you started
[Verse 7]
What you started
What you started (Hey)
What you started (Baby, you)
What you started (Yeah)
[Verse 8]
Yo, come a, come and get this, uh
Everybody gotta feel this (Feel this)
We don't even need a witness, hey
'Cause ain't nobody-body's business (Hey)
Yo, come a, come and get this (Ah, yeah)
Everybody gotta feel this (Oh, feel this)
We don't even need a witness (We don't need)
'Cause ain't nobody-body's business, (Hey, yeah)
[Verse 9]
Yo, come a, come and get this (Ah, yeah)
Everybody gotta feel this (Yeah)
We don't even need a witness (Baby)
'Cause ain't nobody-body's business, yeah (Hey)
Yo, come a, come and get this
Everybody gotta feel this
And we don't even need a witness
'Cause ain't nobody-body's business
[Verse 10]
I know it's hard to stand what you don't understand
(You don't understand)
You wanna say it (Just wanna say it)
But you can't explain it (But you can't explain it)
I know it's hard to stand (Oh) what you don't understand
(You'd give anything to understand)
Let's find the fire and finish what you started
(Finish what you started)
[Verse 11]
What you started
What you started
What you started
What you started
What you started
What you started
What you started
[Verse 12]
What you started
What you started
What you started
What you started
[Verse 13]
Lovin' what we started
Ay, yeah
Let's finish
Started, yeah
Hey, yeah
