The problem with society's been how do we teach
And if they'll believe.
We'll fight this battle for years to come

Until we only accept that we can stand on our own.

Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone

Provide his family with a happy home, alone.

Don't take your oppression out on me.

My old man is all I'm meant to be.
This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired.

Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?


Don't wanna be, they never say
But don't call us the liars


We've walked these alleys a thousand times
And scattered around a thousand lies.

They are trying to hold you till your night may
be hard but keep your feet on the ground.
Why don't I have the finest things that others have?

The chance is there if you want it all that bad.
So bad.


Don't take your oppression out on me.
My old man is all I'm meant to be.
This common place is so lazy or tired

All your ideas are so plainly uninspired.

And sometimes people need help.
That they may need a-

And when this problems going on.
A thing you have to get straight

And I don't owe you a thing.
So don't think about how sorry
You feel when now your treated so bad.


This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired.

Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired


And as a race we look back and we've come so far.
While some thing that others have had it so hard

But in this day we just complain while there's no room for us to fight.
I guess we're born in this its how we keep our side to hide
