Zvikovi - Dear Billy

You were born Billy, you were born a crime
You're against the odds boy, you're against the time
Grew up in the ghetto, driveways with no cars
Yet you dared to dream one day, you'd reach the stars yeah
You'd reach the stars, you would reach the stars

Your ma was strong Billy, not scared of what she could see
Witches, demons she would pray, they would let you be
Disowned by family, taken as a slave
She taught you to be free, make the best of what you have yeah
What you have, what you have, make the best of what you have

Can you dream Billy, see what you can be
No one gives you freedom, you were born free
Never regret failure, rejection when you try
What could have been, will haunt you until you die
Till you die, till you die

But you were trouble Billy, your grandma's worst nightmare
Your ma was tough as nails, with you she could bear
Your pa couldn't be with you, then came step daddy
Lived by the bottle, violent, fists always ready
Always ready, his fists were always ready

Was life unfair Billy, to you who belonged nowhere
Did it close all your roads, left failure one way
Go through virgin lands, make your own path
That's the only way a boy like you can take
You can take
