Many Rivers B.o.B

[Intro]
Many rivers to cross (you ain't got to ask me what I do this for)
But I can't seem to find my way over (I do this for my city)

[Verse 1]
Constantly on the come up, constantly on the come up
But I always get this feeling and it's constantly on my stomach
I learned to always follow my instinct, when you come from where I come from
They try to make a nigga feel like King Kong in the concrete jungle
Damn, cause they don't teach niggas how to deal with anger
Nah, they only teach niggas there ain't nothin' real but danger
Politics will not swing in our favor
Cause all of us are rappers or entertainers
But I still woke up and said, "Young nigga, get it"
Cause this is your life you can choose how you live it

[Hook]
Are we just lost in the city of madness?
Or do the powers that be just lack human compassion?
I don't know...

[Interlude 1]
And they don't want you to speak the truth, man
See when you speak the truth they like to make you feel crazy
But you ain't crazy, don't let them lie to you
Whoever you are, you out there
Keep doing you, man, fuck the haters
Let 'em hate, let 'em hate
