| The crowd is like «Ho!»
|
| Operator’s like «hold"(Please hold.)
|
| Man, now ain’t that cold?
|
| I’m just trying to talk to my homie, that’s up in the hole
|
| Now homegirl not tryna be a hoe
|
| Even though she on a pole
|
| Can she get a second chance? |
| No!
|
| Whoa! |
| Like the opposite of go
|
| That ain’t how it’s supposed to be: a butterfly
|
| But for the sake of rhyming let’s just say «butterflyee»
|
| The truth stings like Muhammad Ali
|
| I tell 'em tell 'em don’t homicide me
|
| I’m just a little old hope
|
| With his back against the ropes
|
| Fighting for his fans
|
| And fighting for his folks
|
| But the boos from the crowd
|
| Can become so loud
|
| If I can block 'em out then
|
| I can knock 'em out then and
|
| Dance around the ring
|
| But until then I’ll sing
|
| I’mma keep it cool, and I’mma do me
|
| It is what it is and it’s how it’s gon' be
|
| Until I get there
|
| 'Til I get there
|
| Yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
|
| But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it
|
| When I get there
|
| When I get there
|
| «Doctor doctor please! |
| The fame ain’t painless enough.»
|
| That’s 'cause you ain’t famous enough
|
| You got a little game, but your name ain’t ringing enough
|
| He said, «Take two of these put some change in my cup.»
|
| I said I wasn’t poor
|
| He gave me some more
|
| Prescribed me a publicist and pointed to the door
|
| «Out!"Ouch!
|
| I’m telling you this all from a therapist’s couch
|
| «Tell me about your mother? |
| What she’s all about?»
|
| Prescribed me an interview and then told me to bounce
|
| Damn, jeez
|
| The world is so cold, I’m glad I bought these skis
|
| Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees
|
| Rendered unconscious
|
| They rushed me to a concert
|
| Instead of green jello, and maybe chicken soup
|
| They fed me magazine covers and video shoots
|
| I’mma keep it cool, and I’mma do me
|
| It is what it is and it’s how it’s gon' be
|
| Until I get there
|
| 'Til I get there
|
| Yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
|
| But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it
|
| When I get there
|
| When I get there
|
| And when I finally make it, I’mma stunt so hard
|
| Evil as Knievel, I’mma jump so far
|
| Way up in the atmosphere, I ain’t coming back
|
| Be a jerk to them jerks, yeah that’ll make em hurt
|
| Huh? |
| Said a young boy in the mirror
|
| A young version of me, so I started to tear up
|
| He said, «You need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up
|
| You’re already here, just be yourself from here up.»
|
| Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
|
| Something I was taught, something I had lost
|
| If you are afraid or fear that you gon' change some
|
| All you gotta do is just remember where you came from
|
| I’mma keep it cool, and I’mma do me
|
| It is what it is and it’s how it’s gon' be
|
| Until I get there
|
| 'Til I get there
|
| Yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
|
| But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it
|
| When I get there
|
| When I get there |
