You’re the One (Early Version)

[Intro: Sly Stone]
1 ... 2 ... 1,2,3

[Verse 1]
I'm the one who wants to be ahead
I stand in line and I'm behind instead
What is happenin', let me look around
Not a thing trying to hold me down
Now I know I got to look at me
Something's a little hard to see
Aah, aah

[Verse 2]
I'm the one my life has taught to fight
To turn around would never make it right
Inside out or outside in
The way you go depends on where you've been
I think I'm making it, I think I'm near
Then I realise I'm in the rear
Aah, aah

[Chorus]
Can't blame your neighbourhood
You're the one
And your mama can't make you good
You're the onе
Can't blame no argument
You're thе one
Don't you know how to take a hint
You're the one
Your teacher can't teach you dumb
You're the one
But your pity can make you numb
You're the one
