Disparate Youth
Satigold Lyrics

Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather
We should be cautious of what is to come; there is trouble ahead.

Another roadblock in our way
We are faced with another obstacle in our journey towards success.

But if we go, we go together
We must rely on each other as we navigate through this difficult journey.

Our hands are tied here if we stay
If we remain in our current situation, we will have limited choices or opportunities.

Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
We believe that our dreams will fuel our motivation to push forward.

And if they don't fly we will run
If our dreams do not come to fruition, we will still persevere and work hard to achieve our goals.

Now we push right past to find out
We are determined to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way to learn how to succeed.

Oh, how to win what they all lost
We seek to achieve what those before us could not.

We know now we want more
We have realized that we are not satisfied with the status quo and want to achieve greater things.

A life worth fighting for
We are willing to fight for a better life and not settle for less than what we deserve.

So let them say we can't do better
We will not be discouraged by those who doubt our abilities.

Lay out the rules that we can't break
We are willing to take the risk of breaking rules that hold us back from achieving our goals.

They wanna sit and watch you wither
Others may want to see us fail and give up.

Their legacy's too hard to take
Others may feel threatened by our success and feel that it will diminish their accomplishments.

In their heads, hedging their bets
Others may be uncertain of what actions to take next.

In their eyes it shows
Their lack of confidence or clarity is evident in their actions or expressions.

When the beacon breaks, what then?
When things fall apart, what do we do?

You ask and they don't know
Those who doubt us may not have the answers or be able to provide any guidance.

I turn my back while the odds all stand beneath me
Despite the challenges, I choose to persevere and face them head on.

And they all said I was misled
Others may doubt our abilities, but we know what we are capable of.

But now the odds all stand beneath me
We have overcome the odds and succeeded.

They're frozen to the core
Those who doubted us are now shocked by our success and may feel intimidated.

(We hear them run, but don't hear what you say)
We are unfazed by the negativity and doubt of others.

(Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way)
We are confident in our abilities and will not let any obstacle stand in our way.
