Keep your chin up

I know it seems hard

I'm gonna start with you.

You ain't gotta go far

I'm here to tell you there's a light

At the end of the tunnel, my friend

There's a great big world ahead

And I know that life gonna

bring you trouble, my friend

But you gotta stand up

and raise your hand

Yeah, whoa

- Thank you, man.

- That's what I'm talking about.

The dance floor is now open.

Didn't want you to know,

I couldn't let you see

I hid it from myself,

I tried to believe

More than the beginning

more than the end

More than just a friend

buy your success or recognition.

You might have to do... do something.

Let me say something

before smashing on you

It's cool you did your head

to match your mom's cooch

Hail with the crew

Let's go, yeah

More than just a friend

It's not so easy to fly

Now that I've found love

Soft kisses on your pretty eyes

Holding hands, ice cream,

daydreams flow by

Not alone, I'll walk you home,

sweet nothings on the phone

Pick a flower, make a wish

while I rap you a poem

More than just a friend

And Hendrix would get the worst of it.

That's the boy we got.

We got us a two-slap son.

More than just a friend

Let me see those hands, come on

She ghetto, she ghetto

She ghetto, she ghetto

She ghetto, she ghetto

She ghetto, she ghetto

Her hairdo, ghetto

Her attitude, ghetto

Her shoes, ghetto,

her name, too, ghetto

She ghetto, she ghetto

Give it some flash.

Gangster that sh*t up.

Or sexy that sh*t.

That sells, too.

Her ring braid, ghetto

That little wig thing, ghetto

Hey! Everybody,

wait a minute.

C.C., the Conscious Criminal.

Listen up, brother,

you need to understand

Being truly educated

ain't a part of their plan

We got tricked again,

slicked again

Held back

and not picked again

Short-changed

and gypped again

Pink-slipped again

Truth been flipped again,

ripped again

The truth been

flipped again, ripped again

The truth been flipped again,

ripped again

The party ain't the car,

it ain't the house,

It ain't the shoes.

It's inside.

We the party.

Education

is the key to success.

Life's the test keep us

oppressed, we want

Life's the test

keep us oppressed, we want

Life's the test

keep us oppressed

We want success

So do your best

Truth been flipped again,

ripped again

Truth been flipped again, ripped again

The truth been flipped again,

ripped again

The truth been flipped

again, ripped again
