Y dice...

My father said, "never give up son"
Just look how good Cassius become
Muhammad, Mahatma, and Nelson.

Not scared to be strong.
(Man, what if they say I'm no good)
(What if they say, "get out of here kid, you got no future").

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 see the way they're wrong
And get to keep on dancing all night long.

My father said, "never give up son"
Just look what Amelia and John done
All rose into reason, 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 see the way they're wrong
And get to keep on dancing all night long.

Yeah, you could be
Someone special
You've got pride in your brains and life
Everyone thinks you'll go higher then they've ever gone.

In you I see
Someone special
You've got fire in your eyes an'
When you realize, you'll go further then we've ever gone
(Look).
Just turn it on.

(I pay my intuition, I couldn't afford tuition)
(My funds was insufficient, it felt like I'm in prison)
(Until 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 Ks to Ms, what does it take?)
(And maybe I could be the new Ali of music, probably)
(Instead of doing it just as a hobby, like these boys told me to).

(I guess you either watch the show, or your show approved)
(Prove it to them or you prove it to yourself)
(But honestly it's better if you do it for yourself).

(Never complacent 'til we hit the oasis)
(One life don't waste it, feel my heart races)
(Success I taste it, ah)
(We on the verge, of gettin' every single thing that we deserve).

Yeah, you could be
Someone special
You've got fire in your eyes, I see heaven inside
You'll go further then we've ever gone.

In you I see
Someone special
You've got pride in your brains, you can break through the chains
You'll go higher then 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.
