Listen

This is so so real

Wake up

Don't sleep your life away

No

Chase all of your dreams now

And don't let them go to waste

Shout out to all the young minds

That feel like they gon' do something

(Be what you wanna be)

Together stand firm

They can't stop our revolution

(Don't mind society)

Say you ain't the problem

Don't mean you're part of the solution

We only want peace

We don't seek retribution

No

You have to work for it

(Work for it)

Put in the dirt for it

(Dirt for it)

May even hurt for it

(Hurt for it)

But in the end

You gon' learn

Somebody shoulda told me

These streets would get tough

I took the path less traveled

And it's more than enough

I'd do it all again

(Yeah)

You better listen

Now

Nobody's ever warned me

The road would get rough

I looked the devil in his eyes

And called his bluff

(I'd do it all again)

(Listen)

(Na na na na na)

Here's a simple question

For our older generations

(If it's you, if it's you)

Tell me how are the youth

Gonna survive lacking education

Well then I guess it's true

They gon' lie to

Justify all the wrongs

That they've done by the rights of the constitution

Then use it to put us in institutions

Well I'm telling you

Some put in years to this

(Years to this)

Blood sweat and tears for this

(Tears for this)

Facing every fear for it

(Fear for it)

Because in the end

You gon' learn

Somebody shoulda told me

(Somebody)

These streets would get tough

I took the path less traveled

And it's more than enough

I'd do it all again

(Yeah)

You better listen

(You better listen)

Now

Nobody's ever warned me

(Nobody ever warned me)

The road would get rough

I looked the devil in his eyes

And called his bluff

(I'd do it all again)

(Listen)

(Na na na na na)

This is so so real

Yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, yeah

Wake up

Don't sleep your life away
