My father said "Never give up, son
Just look how good Cassius become
Mohammed, Mahatma, and Nelson
Not scared to be strong"
Now you could run and just say “They're right
No, I'll never be no one in my whole life”
Or you could turn and say "No, wait, they're wrong"
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, their war won
Not scared to be strong"
Now you could run and just say “They're right
No, I'll never be no one in my whole life”
Or you could turn and say "No, wait, 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
and lightning in your veins
You'll go higher than they've ever gone
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
[Big Sean:]
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 trying to turn K's to M's
What does it take?
And maybe I could
Be the new Ali
Of music prolly
Instead of doing it
Just as a hobby
Like these boys told me to
I guess you either watch the show
Or you show and prove
Prove it to them or you prove it to yourself
But honestly it's better
If you do it for yourself
Never complacent untill
We hit the Oasis
One life - don't waste it
Feel my heart racing
Success - I taste it
Ah, we on the verge
Of getting every single thing
That we deserve
[Chris:]
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
In you I see
Someone special
You've got bright in your brains
You can break through those 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
