My Vote Will Count (feat. Sevyn Streeter) Song Lyrics

I know the world won't give me nothing, so I gotta take it
And I know it's a way we can win, why nobody say it
It don't matter where we from, suburbs or the slums
They don't wanna see us winning, they rather keep us dumb
'Cause in a world where we don't know how
Don't let them tell you that your vote don't count

First things first
You know back in middle school when they told us
It was three branches of the
government, we forgot it when we got older
It's the judicial,
the legislative and executive, but all we know is the executive
That's the mayor or the governor and the president
Now none of them three people make no laws, they just be checking them
The laws come to their desks and all they do is say no or yes to it
So when the news station tried to tell
us that Barack Obama couldn't put us on
We was all salty at Obama when it was the congress members all along
We gotta focus on the legislative
branch, yeah they the ones that make the laws
Yeah they the ones right how much
