[Mike]: This is the story of them against us, win or lose Forcin' your feet into someone else's shoes Everybody's got somein to say That we 'oughta live their way What were doin's not okay In this world, everybody's got a chip on Both sides of their neck Got no respect Wait up a sec! You ever feel like the pressure's too much to take Too much weight Ladies, and, Gentlemen If anybody can hear me right now, please shout back Were not the only ones feelin so trapped In a dream of somebody else, in fact They got their heads full of some overblown scheme Opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen And all they want to do is push you to be that And all you wanna do is scream back

[Mike]: We don't sleep to dream, we sleep to build stamina Energy to do our thing, get your camera 'Cuz this ride is about to begin Sit down, and buckle it in Let me say it again In this world, everybody's got a chip on Both sides of their neck Got no respect Wait up a sec! When I was young They said the odds' of makin' it were slim, to none Ladies, and, fuck it! I'm tired of them sayin' the dream you have doesn't exist Tellin you you're worthless, sayin' you should quit Basically tellin' you that you'll never be shit Really, they're pissed 'cuz they'll never achieve Some opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen And all they want to do is push you to be that And all you wanna do is scream back

With all that knowledge You ain't tryin' to go to college Be a lawyer or a doctor Get a whole lotta dollas Rather degrade women and glorify violence Well the work that works for me Might not work for you No homework, I got work to do
