I’d been brought up
early in the mornin'
when daddy came to say goodbye
while mom was on the corner
waitin' for the social yes
man all the kids seem fine
loneliness inside
i don’t believe it
i don’t believe it
we’re almost here
i don’t believe it
i don’t believe it
we’re almost here
walk past school
we meet up at the docks
I need a ways to eat tonight
we’ll cover up the bruises
brothers what the hardest
men began to shout and fight
I’m stayin' inside
we don’t believe it
we don’t believe
we’re almost here
we don’t believe
we’re almost here
but my father tells me
don’t cry
cause sometimes the
dark horse dies
you can learn without the system
go 'head
even the dark horse wins
you can learn without the system
don’t cry
cause even the dark horse dies
you can learn without the system
mama put some water
in the milk for us to drink
so that we won’t notice
my brother came home
with some food
he’d stolen from the man
but said that he’d
worked all day
my father said that
we don’t steal
and he pulled him
from his chair
and he gave it back
we all went to bed
without a sound
without a sound
without a sound
don’t cry
cause sometimes the dark horse dies
you can learn without the system
go 'head
even the dark horse wins
you can learn without the system
I am just a man now
with my family
I don’t need your help no more
you don’t need to bother
with me
I have all I need
I have it all
