So Many Millions Fishbone

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

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
