My father said never give up son
Just look how good Cassius become
Mohammed, Mahatma, and Nelson
Not scared to be strong
Now you could run and just say they’re right
No there’ll never be no one in my whole life
Or you could turn and say no wait they're wrong
And get to keep on dancing all life long
My father said never give up son
Just look what Amelia and Joan done
Oh Rosa, Teresa 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 say no wait, 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 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
Just turn it on
I paid my intuition I couldn't afford tuition
My funds was insufficient and 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’, what does it take?
And maybe I could be the new Ali of music prolly
Instead of doing it just as a hobby like these boys told me to
I guess you either watch the show or you show and proof
Prove it to them or you prove it to yourself
But honestly it's better if you do it for yourself
Never complacent until we hit the oasis
One life don't waste it feel my heart racing, success I taste it
Ah 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
In you I see someone special
You've got bright in your brains you can break through those chains
You'll go higher than 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
