My father said, "never give up son"
Just look how good Cassius become
Muhammad, Mahatama and Nelson
Not scared to be strong
(Man, what if they say I'm no good)
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 life long
My father said, "never give up son"
Just look what Amelia and John done
Oh Rosa, Theresa 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 life long
Yeah, you could be
Someone special
You've got bright in your brains and lightning in your veins
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
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 its 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 bright 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
