My Vote Will Count Lyrics by YelloPain

2020

[Chorus: Sevyn Streeter]
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
[Verse: YelloPain]
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 food stamps money you get on the card
But when people that wanted to help us, wanted the job I know they probably lost
'Cause we ain't even know they name win or they face we know at all
So the congress or the state house, that's legislative they make laws
So what we want from the president is what they do, okay y'all?
See the election every two years, but we'll never even go to those
The congress they can raise minimum wage but we ain't even really know it though
So you know back in '08, when we all voted for Obama
We was all supposed to go back in 2010 and vote for the congress
'Cause they the ones make child support laws
They don't wanna choose if your kids at school get to eat steak or corn dogs
The state house make the court costs
So if the country failed then you can't say it's them, it's your fault
'Cause y'all ain't know to vote for congress members that was for y'all
And they don't gotta leave after four years and we just let them sit
See they don't wanna tell you this, they want you to focus on the president
Now the third branch is the judicial, that's judges
They the reason why John Crawford and Trayvon had justice
So when Meek Mill got locked up just for popping wheelies we blame the judge and not the city
When they let her get voted in
'Cause they know who to vote against
Imagine life on the other side, woes better, schools better
Everybody get their license back, groceries store food better
Custody of your kids back, homeless people get new shelters
If we gonna fix the US, we gotta start with them two letters
Me and you, somebody told us that the government wanna keep us broke
But the only reason why those people in the government is 'cause we ain't vote
And I ain't talking 'bout the president
I'm talking 'bout the ones we ain't know
See they was gonna try keep it low
But it's gonna hurt 'em when they see them polls
[Chorus: Sevyn Streeter]
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
