Whatcha Gonna Be

Verse 1:
[Play J Snip]

Play J Snip bustin rhymes like a 45 clip
runnin off at the mouth so don't trip
whatcha gonna be is what they was asking me
so many things I wanted to accomplish
so many things I wanted to be
on this grind stashin money in my pocket
but thats ok when i step on stage I'm gonna rock it
Bop your head to this and please don't knock it
when I'm done with my verse
i pass the mic cause I don't hog it

[Maurice]
Many questions was ask of me
What I was going to do at the age of 33
Beside I hanging on the streets
On the trouble scene
Beside going to school
To get a college degree
Beside being behind bars
From police brutality
What I wanna be when I grow up
I choose to be successful
So I can come up
Now I'm 35 and I'm living it up

HOOK
Whatcha gonna be when u grow up
[Whatcha Gonna Be]
Whatcha gonna do when the times come
[Whatcha Gonna Be]
Where you gonna be when u make the choice
And how you gonna take it when you hear the voice

Verse 2:
[Play J Snip]

I ain't no fabricated star
I write rhymes from the heart
workin from the bottom to the top
whatcha gonna be when you grow up
is that age old question that they ask you when you coming up
I was an innocent kid that become corrupt
with innocent dreams that just never added up
so on into my adolescence
started living a life that only promised lessons

[Maurice]
And thanking the Lord
For my life blessin
Keep continuing trying to do better
And don't be second guessing
Keep my mind focus
And never messing
Around with people
That be stressing
On negitive things
That they be confessing
Pray to the Lord
On each life lesson
Continue asking him for
The right direction
While people keeping on asking
Whatcha Gonna Be

Verse 3:
[Play J Snip]

Don't get me wrong i love some westside
But I wouldnt be surprised if California broke off into the ocean and died
God's wrath is like fury like fire
and He knows we all just another Sodom and Gomorrah in disguise
I fear God
I don't wanna be the one to look him in the eyes
Father forgive me I don't wanna die
now we living the life and we playing the game
But we could never forget to honor his name
it doesn't reflect how we were raised
it represents the respect we retained while getting blazed
Life's a maze and your dreams a haze
but you could never forget the fantasies of what you wanted to be in your younger days

[Maurice]
Never thought for a second that
I would make it this far
Dreams of being
a big super star
I'm just like you a ordinary man
Trying to be me and
Do all that I can
Through this path
That we call life
You only get one chance
To play it right
So keep your head up
And don't you quit
Keep your goals in tack
And stay on the right track
You can do anything
If you focus your brain
Dont let no one take you
Off your game
What you gonna do,
Where you gonna be,
Who gonna meet,
When u gonna see,
How you gonna be

All when you grow up (X2)
