All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

We all wanna be number one

When I said goodbye she had a tear in her eye

I'm like, "Mama don't cry, your little boy got to fly"

They say up and NY is where it's going down

And I'ma have a million dollars when I get back in town

She said, "You're just going through a phase, can't this be a hobby?"

I said, "My friends say I'm dope, even Charlie and Robbie"

We said our goodbyes and I boarded the plane

I was looking out the window at the wings as it rained

We taxied to the runway, I could hear the engine howlin'

Threw a prayer up in the air, felt the wheels leave the ground

The buildings and the cars and the towns were small as ants

I was destined for the unknown, just looking for a chance

All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

We all wanna be number one

Landed at LaGuardia, I got my bags and stepped into the cold

The snow was falling, I lit a cigarette

There was a million yellow taxis, everybody seemed upset

A rugged voice from behind me asked me, "Where you tryna get?"

I said, "The closest motel, but no telling tomorrow"

Said, "You must be from Atlanta", I said, "Georgia, how did you know?"

"I can tell by your accent that you are from the south"

Threw my luggage in the trunk and said, "Get in" and we pulled out

Into the sirens and the honking horns, the hustle and the bustle

And the traffic, that's when he said, "Welcome to the jungle"

I looked up at all the buildings until we got to the moat

Before we left he said, "Hope you find what you're looking for"

All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

All I ever wanted was to be excited about right now

We all wanna be number one

We all wanna be number one
