I was born a republican, went to church and said my sins.
God said with age and time, you gotta do what’s right.
We got a lot of things to work out, our systems breaking on down.
You only see one side of this machine, before you talk go to the other side and walk.
You don’t need to be the President of the United States; you don’t need all that power.
You don’t need to go to church to listen to all the sinners pray. To you God I ain’t sorry.
Now you have nothing to prey on, you place your knees to the floor for your weaknesses start to say…
Is this the American dream? People getting fucked over in the land of the free.
You don’t need to be the President of the United States; you don’t need all that power.
You don’t need to go to church to hear all the sinners pray. To you God I ain’t sorry.
You don’t need to go to an institution to succeed cause what you feel inside that’s your degree.
You don’t need to fill your ears and eyes on those TV screens, do yourself a favor and walk outside your streets.
It’s not who’s right, it’s what’s right.
It’s not who’s right, it’s what feels right.
I was born a republican, went to church and said my sins.
God said with age and time, you gotta do what’s right.
You don’t need to be the President of the United States; you don’t need all that power.
You don’t need to go to church to listen to all the sinners pray. To you God I ain’t sorry.
To all the students out there, you can sell your souls away but remember the best things in life are free.
You don’t need to be the person everybody wants you to be just be you and someday you’ll see…
It’s not who’s right, it’s what’s right.
It’s not who’s right, it’s what feels right…I was born.
