Fishbone - So Many Millions lyrics

I cannot get over legitimately

The reality of my surroundings

Do not point to the sky

So why should I even try

(when there's nuthin' out there to be)

I cannot grow up to be the president

Where only drug dealers own mercedes benz

If you tell me otherwise

It will only look like lies

(when there's nothing out there for me)

Your education will do me no good

In my neighborhood

All that I see is scrapin' and scrounging

In my neighborhood

If you can show me how to do good

In my neighborhood

Maybe I discontinue my lounging in my neighborhood

So many millions feel this strong

All these people can't be wrong

You should surely know this was a long time coming

You should know the effects were numbing

You should know that yesterday

You may have had a chance to stop things before they start

You may have had a chance but it's too late because it's fallen apart

Sex education will do me no good

In my neighborhood

Everybody's hoin' for something and it's understood

In my neighborhood

That drug education can do me no good

In my neighborhood

Well then maybe I'll discontinue my loungin' in my neighborhood

So many millions feel this strong

All these people can't be wrong

You beat me, mistreat me and you beat me

Rip my heart out please and then you get angry when I die

It's a pile of shit in your sugar shack

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting

So I can drag it more all across the floor

It's a pile of shit in the white house

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting

So I can drag it more all across the flag
