This is a story of them against us, win or lose Forcin your feet into someone elses shoes Everybody gots something to say That we outta live that way what we doin's not okay In this world everybodys got a chip on Both sides of the neck got no respect Wait up a sec Ou ever feel like the pressurs to much to take To much weigh Ladies and gentlemen If anybody can hear me right now please shout back We not the only ones feeling so trapped in a dream of somebody else In fact, they got there head full of some overblown scheme Oportunity they missed back when they were sixteen And all they wanna do is push you to be that And all you wanna do is scream back
Gonna' be somebody For anybody tellin me I cant Gonna' be someone For anyone who told me I had no chance Gonna' be somebody Im tellin' you the time has come like that Gonna' be someone And maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done
We dont sleep to dream, we sleep to build stamina Energy to do our thing, get your camera Cuz this ride is about to begin Sit down and buckle it in Let me say it again In this world everybodys got a chip on Both sides of the neck got no respect Wait up a sec When I was young they said the odds of making it were slim to none Ladies and fuck it I'm tired of them sayin the dream you have doesn't exist Tellin' you your worthless sayin' you should quit Basically telling you that you'll never be shit Really there pissed cuz they'll never achieve some opportunity They missed back when they were sixteen And all they wanna do is push you to be that And all you wanna do is scream back
