Man, construction workers ain't man You can't be out done sawin' all day Boy hot out there man Just keep on to school, get your education That way, you can be anythin' you to be
I just wanna sing, can I, you a song I bet love it I just wanna sing, I-I askin' for much I just wanna sing, can I, you a song I bet you'll love it, I ain't for much
Listen, I just wanna make music, I just wanna or two In fact, man, I be a rapper too And I could probably the blues I got problems too, plus I growed up in the projects too
Well, can you put me on soundtrack? 'Cause I got a good song that Betty right could probably sing on Yo, I want a chance at stardom I just wanna be than a thief or robber
Well, what about a remix? and I probably make the beat And get it done all in less than a And make it clean for the radio, so the could watch the video Yo, but don't hear me doe

I wanna do commercial and TV I wanna and sell records like the Beegees sold And I don't really need a chauffeur, I don't a maid or a cook a vacuum cleaner and coasters
And I can cook and for myself, with the right promo team I feel, I can really do big And I could write me a book With all the stuff I got to tell 'em, got to be a best seller
