My father said never give up, son Just look how good Cassius become Mohammed, Muhammad and Nelson Not scared to be strong I mean, what if they say I'm no good? What if they say, get out of here, kid, you got no future? Now you can run, but you see they're right There'll never be no one in my whole life Oh, you could turn to see the way they're wrong Ain't good to keep on dancing all life long My father said never give up, son Just look what Emilia and John done Oh, Rose and Teresa, they're war-worn Not scared to be strong Now you can run, but you see they're right There'll never be no one in my whole life Oh, you could turn to see the way they're wrong Ain't good to keep on dancing all life long Yeah, you could be Someone special You've got pride in your brains And like many a faint, 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 Look, I paid 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 K's to M's, 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 you're showing proof Prove it to them or you prove it to yourself But honestly, it's better if you do it for yourself Never complacent till we hit the oasis One life, don't waste it, feel my heart racing Success, I taste it, I, we on the verge Of getting 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 than we've ever gone And you, I see Someone special You've got pride in your brains You can break through those chains You'll go higher than we've ever flown Just turn it on And you, I see Someone special Don't go to war with yourself Just turn, just turn, just turn it on But you can't go wrong Thanks for watching!
