[Intro]
It's like life is so crazy sometimes but there's no need to add to the negativity, when your mind is the only weapon you need
So together we all have the power to stop the violence and put the guns down
[Chorus]
They don't wanna see me make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
They don't really wanna see me win
They rather see me dead or in the pin (watch out, watch out)
They don't wanna see us make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
Don't you know that you were born to win?
All you gotta do is stay up out the pin, stay awake and watch out
[Verse 1]
Just 'cause I was raised in the ghetto
Don't mean I can't make it to another level
And just because you rode in the streets
Don't mean you gotta rome with the heat
My mama taught me better than that
She said, you either lead or you follow the path
And only make room for the best
'Cause real leaders don't follow the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
The streets got guns, police got guns
But that don't mean I need one
The streets got guns, police got guns
But that don't mean you need one
[Chorus]
They don't wanna see me make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
They don't really wanna see me win
They rather see me dead or in the pin (watch out, watch out)
They don't wanna see us make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
Don't you know that you were born to win?
All you gotta do is stay up out the pin, stay awake and watch out
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of seein' people dyin'
On the news, all I see is cryin'
I need to see my people trying
In the jungle, just roll with the lions
'Cause it's a jungle out there, boy it's a jungle
And they don't want you to grow, they wanna stunt you
You need start raisin' the bar
Dream big in case you reach for the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
The streets got guns, police got guns
But that don't mean I need one
The streets got guns, police got guns
But that don't mean you need one
[Chorus]
They don't wanna see me make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
They don't really wanna see me win
They rather see me dead or in the pin (watch out, watch out)
They don't wanna see us make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
Don't you know that you were born to win?
All you gotta do is stay up out the pin, stay awake and watch out
They don't wanna see me make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
They don't really wanna see me win
They rather see me dead or in the pin (watch out, watch out)
They don't wanna see us make it (we still gonna make it)
That's why they always hatin' (why you always hatin'?)
Don't you know that you were born to win?
All you gotta do is stay up out the pin, stay awake and watch out
