Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] All my friends Wanna know why you ain't figured it out just yet All my friends Been readin' the books by Morrison and 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 [Post-Chorus] Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] You could change a hood just by showing your face Condo climbing high, now the block is erased (You don't get it, get it) You clutch on your purse, now you crossing the street Brother caught your eye, now you callin' police (You don't get it, get it) It's a casual violence in your speech and your silence It's unnatural science, you too comfortable lying [Refrain] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] All my friends Think I should love you anyway My friend James Says I should love you anyway And that's okay But ooh, yeah You're making it hard for me Ooh, you're making it so hard [Post-Chorus] Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey [Refrain] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] All my friends Wanna know why you ain't figured it out just yet All my friends Been readin' the books by Morrison and 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
