Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been readin the books by Morrison & West
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been readin' the books, readin' the books you ain’t read
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
All my friends think I should love you anyway
My friend James says I should love you anyway
And that’s ok
But ooh, yeah you’re making it hard for me
Ooh you’re making it so hard
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been readin the books by Morrison & West
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet
All my friends
Been readin' the books, readin' the books you ain’t read
Readin' the books you ain’t read
Readin' the books you ain’t read
Readin' the books you ain’t read
