I see him walking on the sidewalk early morn', backpack, old shoes, no jacket on. Head down, eyes fixed on the ground, You can tell he don't really wanna take a look around, because he's living in a war zone. Just passed that spot where his big brother got shot. His mama never tells him, "come home". Ever since bruh died all she ever do in snort "Hop". Everybody thinks he's dead wrong in the back of the class, don't nobody really think he can pass but he's not a quitter. And he's scared of the past so the future is all that he has gotta go and get it. And he don't learn quick and he's not that smart but the boy got heart and that's all that he needs with his goals and his dreams. You can make it if you just believe.
You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe Someday a change will come, you will see. You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe I know that you'll be free if you just believe.
I see her standing on the Ave in her short dress, 15 years old maybe a little less. And her so-called boyfriend is 25. He says if she ever leaves then she gonna die. First time was the worst time. Might as well get paid for it, That's what her boyfriend said. Men form a long line for a piece of the princess, but her soul aint dead. Mama got a, little flame and it flickers in the abstract That's a true North Star. She gone make a run for her freedom All she gotta do it backtrack and be who you are. Freedom's in the heart. And her innocence's gone and the pain last long but she will move on because all that she needs in her goals and her dreams. You can make it if you just believe.
You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe Someday a change will come, you will see. You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe I know that you'll be free if you just believe.
Now the children of the land they can care less, about our ideologies and our politics. Aint no philosophy ever fed me, a kid starving aint thinking about chemistry and we plan so long that we don't do, and we really wanna help but we don't move and we get gridlocked and we just stop. But if you listen you can still hear the bodies drop. So you wanna save the world? Well you better save the block first, it's a ticking time bomb. And if you come into my hood, understand you gotta knock first, because respect goes long. Right now is the time to decide what it is Can't do it for yourself then do it for the kids because all that we needs is our goals and our dreams. We can make it if we just believe.
You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe Someday a change will come, you will see. You're my darlin', darlin' baby. Just believe I know that you'll be free if you just believe.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
