I know you're waiting for this one

Yello

I know the world won't give me nothing

So I gotta take it

And I know it's a way we can win

Why nobody say it

It don't matter where we from

Suburbs or the slums

They don't wanna see us winning

They rather keep us dumb

'Cause in a world where we don't know how

Don't let them tell you that your vote don't count

First things first

You know back in middle school when they told us

It was three branches of the

Government we forgot it when we got older

It's the judicial

The legislative and executive

But all we know is the executive

That's the mayor or the governor and the president

Now none of them three people make no laws

They just be checking them

The laws come to their desks and all they

Do is say no or yes to it

So when the news station tried to tell

Us that Barack Obama couldn't put us on

We was all salty at Obama when it

Was the congress members all along

We gotta focus on the legislative

Branch yeah they the ones that make the laws

Yeah they the ones right how much

Food stamps money you get on the card

But when people that wanted to help us

Wanted the job I know they probably lost

'Cause we ain't even know they name

Win or they face we know at all

So the congress or the state house

That's legislative they make laws

So what we want from the president

Is what they do okay y'all

See the election every two years

But we'll never even go to those

The congress they can raise minimum

Wage but we ain't even really know it though

So you know back in '08 when we all voted for Obama

We was all supposed to go back

In 2010 and vote for the congress

'Cause they the ones make child support laws

They don't wanna choose if your kids

At school get to eat steak or corn dogs

The state house make the court costs

So if the country failed then you

Can't say it's them it's your fault

'Cause y'all ain't know to vote for

Congress members that was for y'all

And they don't gotta leave after four

Years and we just let them sit

See they don't wanna tell you this

They want you to focus on the president

Now the third branch is the judicial that's judges

They the reason why John Crawford and Trayvon had justice

So when Meek Mill got locked up just for

Popping wheelies we blame the judge and not the city

When they let her get voted in

'Cause they know who to vote against

Imagine life on the other side

Woes better schools better

Everybody get their license back

Groceries store food better

Custody of your kids back

Homeless people get new shelters

If we gonna fix the US we gotta start with

Them two letters

Me and you somebody told us that

The government wanna keep us broke

But the only reason why those people

In the government is 'cause we ain't vote

And I ain't talking 'bout the president

I'm talking 'bout the ones we ain't know

See they was gonna try keep it low

But it's gonna hurt 'em when they see them polls

I know the world won't give me nothing

So I gotta take it

And I know it's a way we can win

Why nobody say it

It don't matter where we from

Suburbs or the slums

They don't wanna see us winning

They rather keep us dumb

'Cause in a world where we don't know how

Don't let them tell you that your vote don't count
