Whassup little man, what's wrong Why you lookin' so What's wrong? Man, I went to today And the teacher I couldn't be no rapper
Say what? Why she tell you She me I had to be somethin, that's more realistic Like I actually be Like a construction or somethin'
Man, workers ain't realistic man You can't be out done sawin' all day Boy hot out there man Just on goin' to school, get your education way, you can be anythin' you want to be
I wanna sing, can I, sing you a song I bet love it I wanna sing, I-I ain't askin' for much I just sing, can I, sing you a song I bet love it, I ain't askin' for much
Listen, I just wanna make music, I wanna verse or two In fact, man, I be a rapper too And I probably sing the blues 'Cause I got problems too, I growed up in the projects too
Well, can you put me on soundtrack? 'Cause I got a good theme song that Betty right probably sing on Yo, I want a chance at stardom I just wanna be than a thief or robber
Well, what about a and I could probably make the beat And get it done all in than a week And make it clean for the radio, so the kids watch the video Yo, but don't hear me doe
Man, I want a crack at it If I i'll be back, 'cause I refuse to be a crack addict I wanna prove the critics started off with a poem done turned it into a song Now I'ma it for you
I wanna sing, can I, sing you a song I bet love it I just sing, I-I ain't askin' for much I just wanna sing, can I you a song I bet love it, I ain't askin' for much
Listen to me, I wanna be a one day, that way I can be put in the category with Barry White and Marvin Gaye And have a dedicated to me Sell platinum and win Grammys so that the world can see
You could be anything you want to be Play sports or make music, just put mind to it And yo, I ain't the typical Idol' But I'm done, I'm sure the boy Simon'll like me
Everybody can't act rap, and no matter how real the dream E'rybody sing But, another Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods right in the hood, plus
Yo you never seen a, meaner team Of tennis than Venus and Serena So, it's people that that helped people like me And they gave me the courage to sing, so sing it for ya
I just sing, can I, sing you a song I bet love it I just wanna sing, I-I ain't for much I just wanna sing, can I you a song I bet you'll love it, I ain't askin' for
I do commercial and TV shows I wanna blow and sell records like the Beegees And I really need a chauffeur, I don't need a maid or a cook Just a cleaner and coasters
And I can cook and clean for myself, with the promo team I feel, I can do big things And I could probably write me a all the stuff I got to tell 'em, it's got to be a best seller
And it's way than a Coke and a smile Why go to schools when the teachers ain't helpin' us My art drive a Benz but he ain't bein' artistic I got music period but the class won't listen, I wanna sing
I just wanna sing, can I, you a song (So, to all the kids) I bet love it (All the mothers and fathers, and brothers of the world) I-I ain't for much
I just wanna sing, can I, you a song (Y'know? Our kids encouragement) I bet you'll it, I ain't askin' for much (We a reason, y'knahmsayin?) (Let's show 'em somethin, let's give 'em somethin' to look to) (So all you teachers that ain't doin' your job, step aside)
I just wanna sing, can I, sing you a I bet love it ('Cause I got a little brother and that's gon') (Grow up one day and be a teacher) (And she gon' actually somethin') (Y'know? She gon' make it worth to school y'know?) (It's deeper than free now) I-I askin' for much
