Yea, I wanted to be like Mike way back in the days.
Yea, until n*ggas got robbed for the brand new J's.
Looking back it ain't a thing I'd change.
Wait, my pops really wasn't getting paid.
Child support hit his pockets crazy, but he looked at me like amazing.
If only you could be what you really wanna be, it'll be one way.
Life too short but you gotta stand tall for a brighter day.
So I treat every night like it's R.I.P.
So if I wake up and I feel heartbeat.
I'm leaving my heart on a beat.
I swear if I could only be what I wanna be,
move to a better beat, stay away from negativity.
If you could only, see what I gotta see.
Baby I can't complain, ain't come this far to stay the same.
Treat everyday like birthday and confetti.
If only you only could die when you ready.
If that was the case we would never be ready.
I make every song hoping they don't forget me.
But still not a day go by, ten toes down but somehow I fly.
Believe in me, like belief in God.
We don't know how and don't ask why.
We go with the flow that's a grown *ss kid.
That'll do what he's told and it's back to the crib.
But it's really not home, but the kid got kids,
And they do what they told and it cycles again.
And his kids grow up and they just like him.
Not knowing real life starts right where it ends.
But the sad thing is if he could it again,
he would do the same thing but, if I am him.
I swear if I could only be what I wanna be,
move to a better beat, stay away from negativity.
If you could only, see what I gotta see.
Baby I can't complain, ain't come this far to stay the same.
If I could only be what I wanna be,
move to a better beat, stay away from negativity.
If you could only, see what I gotta see.
Baby I can't complain, ain't come this far to stay the same.
Big bro in the house.
Got my n*gga D-Wop in the house
Yea, got Dro in the house.
Everything worked out.
We back in the house.
Mom dukes in the house.
Everything worked out.
WishGranted back in the house.
If I.
Be what I wanna be,
move to a better beat,
Stay away from negativity.
If you
See what I gotta see,
Baby I can't complain ain't come this far to stay the same.
If I.
Be what I wanna be,
move to a better beat,
Stay away from negativity.
If you
See what I gotta see,
Baby I can't complain ain't come this far to stay the same
