Say what? Why she you that? She told me I had to be somethin, that's realistic Like I could be a construction worker or somethin'
Man, workers ain't realistic man You can't be out there done all day Boy it's hot out man Just on goin' to school, get your education way, you can be anythin' you want to be

Listen, I just wanna make music, I just verse or two In fact, man, I wanna be a too And I probably sing the blues 'Cause I got problems too, plus I 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 just a chance at stardom I just wanna be more than a or robber
Well, what about a remix? and I could probably the beat And get it done all in than a week And it clean for the radio, so the kids could watch the video Yo, but y'all hear me doe
