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 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, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, 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 clutch on your purse, now you crossing the street, brother caught your eye, now you callin' police, 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 okay, but oooh yeah, you're making it hard for me, oooh you're making it so hard, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, 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, 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
