You don’t know a thing about our story,
Tell it wrong all the time
Don't know a thing about our glory,
Wanna steal my baby's shine
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been reading the books by Morrison & West
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been reading the books
Reading the books you ain't read
Hey hey hey hey hey hey ooh
Somebody’s daddy always laid out on the street
And for what?
We're on the street and for what?
Your precious, lethal, fear.
Your precious, lethal, fear.
You could change a hood just by showing your face
Condo climbing high now the block is erased
You don't get it get it
You clutch on your purse now you crossing the street
Brother caught your eye now you callin police
You don't get it get it
It's a casual violence in your speech and your silence
It's un-natural science you too comfortable lying
We don't go out
Can’t wish us away
We been burning Brighter everyday
We don't go out
Can’t wish us away
We been burning Brighter everyday
You don’t know a thing about our story
Tell it wrong all the time
Don't know a thing about our glory,
Wanna steal my baby's shine
All my friends think I should love you anyway
My friend James says I should love you anyway
And that’s ok
But you’re making it hard for me
You’re making it so hard
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey ooh
We don't go out
Can’t wish us away
We been burning Brighter everyday
We don't go out
Can’t wish us away
We been burning Brighter everyday
You don’t know a thing about our story
Tell it wrong all the time
Don't know a thing about our glory,
Wanna steal my baby's shine
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet

All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends

Reading the books you ain't read
Reading the books you ain't read
