So Many Millions Lyrics - The Reality Of My Surroundings - Fishbone

I cannot get over legitimately 

The reality of my surroundings 

Do not point to the sky, so why should I even try 

When there's nothin' out there to be 

I cannot grow up to be the president 

Where only drug dealers own Mercedes Benz 

If you tell me otherwise, it will only look like lies 

When there's nothin' out there for me, hey, yeah 

Your education can do me no good 

In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood 

All that I see is scrapin' and scrounging 

In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood 

If you can show me how to do good 

In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood 

Maybe I discontinue my lounging 

In the neighborhood, yeah, yeah 

So many millions feel this strong 

All these people can't be wrong, be wrong 

It's like so many millions feel this strong 

All these people can't be wrong, be wrong 

Well, you would surely know this was a long time coming 

You should know the effects was numbing 

You should know that yesterday, yeah, ah 

You may have had a chance to stop things before they start 

You may have had a chance but it's too late, if they've fallen apart 

You may have had a chance to stop things before they start 

You may have had a chance but it's too late 

Sex education can do me no good 

In my neighborhood, yeah, neighborhood 

Everybody's hopin' for something and it's understood 

In my neighborhood 

That drug education can do me no good 

In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood 

Maybe I'll discontinue my loungin' 

In the neighborhood 

So many millions feel this strong 

All these people can't be wrong, be wrong 

So many millions feel this strong 

All these people can't be wrong, be wrong 

Mistreat me and rip my heart out, baby, please 

And then you get angry when I die, girl 

Mistreat me and rip my heart out baby, please 

And then you get angry when I die, girl 

It's a pile of shit in your sugar shack 

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting 

So I can drag it more all across the floor 

It's a pile of shit in your sugar shack 

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting 

So I can drag it more all across the floor 

Mistreat me and rip my heart out baby, please 

And then you get angry when I die, girl 

Mistreat me and rip my heart out baby, please 

And then you get angry when I die 

It's a pile of shit in the White House 

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting 

So I can drag it more all across the flag 

It's a pile of shit in the White House 

And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting 

So I can drag it more all across the flag
