We Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

[Intro]
One, two, three, four, five

Sitting in the kitchen
Eating yellow rice and chicken
Watching Saturday morning cartoons

Tastes a little bland
Need a little pepper and
Hey, Anna, can you pour me some juice?

Super hot comb
Sittin' on a hot stove
'Cause my momma tried to straighten my hair

She whispered in my ear
"Be a Betsy, my dear
It's a different world out there."

And we're here
Gonna stay here
And if you don't like it, that's fair
But we're here
Gonna stay here
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
Nah, nah, nah, nah
We ain't ever goin' nowhere

Five years old
In my new school clothes
I was happy and was ready to play

They were talking to each other
Told me not to come no further
Said I couldn't be apart of the game

I didn't realize
'Til I got to senior high
That I wasn't like the rest of the class

Tried fitting in but I just couldn't win
Can you help me do the math?

And we're here
Gonna stay here
And if you don't like it, that's fair
But we're here
Gonna stay here
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
Nah, nah, nah, nah
We ain't ever goin' nowhere

(Nah niki nah ni nah ni nah
Niki nah niki nah ni aye!)
Going nowhere
(Nah niki nah ni nah ni nah
Niki nah niki nah ni aye!)

And we're here
Gonna stay here
And if you don't like it, that's fair
But we're here
Gonna stay here
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere
We ain't goin' nowhere
Nah, nah, nah, nah
We ain't ever goin' nowhere
