Disparate Youth
Santigold Lyrics

(Oh) Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather (oh) Another roadblock in our way (ohh-oh) But if we go, we go together (oh) Our hands are tied here if we stay (ohh-oh)
We shouldn't focus on the difficulties that might lie ahead, but rather stay united and confront potential obstacles head-on. If we remain where we are, we're stuck, but if we move forward together, we can face any adversity.

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us And if they don't fly we'll run Now we push right past to find out Oh, how to win what they all lost
We believed our dreams were powerful enough to make us successful, but we now know that we have to work hard to achieve them. We're pushing ourselves to discover how to win the things that others have lost or given up on.

Oh ah, oh ah We know now we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for Oh ah, oh ah We know now we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for (oh)
We're no longer content with what we have; we want something better. We crave a richer, more meaningful life that's worth fighting for.

So let them say we can't do better (oh) Lay out the rules that we can't break (ohh-oh) They want to sit and watch it wither (oh) Their legacy's too hard to take (ohh-oh)
We're aware that some people disapprove of our aspirations, setting boundaries that we can't cross. These same individuals would rather watch us fail than witness us succeed for fear of having to compete with our newfound success.

In their heads, hedging their bets In their eyes it shows When the beacon breaks well then You ask and they don't know Oh tell me that I turn my back well the odds all stand beneath me And they all said I was mislead The odds all stand beneath me
While others are indecisive and hesitant, we're making bold moves and taking risks. We're not afraid to go against the odds and put our trust in our abilities. Some may question us, but deep down, we know we're on the right path.

Oh ah, oh ah They're frozen to the core Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for Oh, we said our dreams will carry us And if they don't fly we will run Now we push right past to find out Oh, how to win what they all lost
Others who doubt us are stuck in place, too fearful to attempt anything worthwhile. We, on the other hand, are willing to run if need be, to pursue our dreams until we overcome what has held others back.

We hear that rumble don't hear what you say Now here we come can't throw nothing in our way We hear that rumble don't hear what you say Now here we come can't throw nothing in our way, ay-yo (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Ay-yo Ay-yo (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Ay-yo
We're focused on our goals and not influenced by the noise that may try to distract us. We're charging forward, overcoming obstacles as they may come, and ignoring anything that might aim to put us down.
