| I think everybody has a moment that defines their lives
|
| And I had mine
|
| Actually let me just tell you about it…
|
| It goes a little something like this
|
| I was turning 17
|
| I was prolly the most popular kid that my school had ever seen
|
| I was the flavor of the future
|
| Man, it’s the future and I can’t taste a thing
|
| I’m 23 years old now
|
| Still chasing the same dream at 17
|
| I watched some folks around me blow up
|
| And I’m still right here
|
| Doing nothing. |
| Aspiring. |
| Trying
|
| But there’s something inside me
|
| And I’ve always felt so meaningful
|
| There’s nothing more that I wanna prove to you
|
| It’s that I’m morethanthis
|
| I’m morethanthis
|
| Yeah, I’m morethanthis
|
| You know I wanna be morethanthis
|
| Alright now, morethanthis
|
| Give me a chance now, morethanthis
|
| You know I wanna be morethanthis
|
| More than a no-one, morethanthis
|
| I’ve got something. |
| Yeah
|
| About a year after which, I was no longer a novelty
|
| People no longer changed who they are for me
|
| A celebrity hardly
|
| And I was working at Best Buy, selling CDs
|
| When a friend of mine sees me
|
| And disturbs me deeply, saying
|
| «Hey, Hey! |
| Whatever happened to Mr. Arsenio Hall?»
|
| As if working there was quite the fall from grace
|
| I had to disguise my face
|
| Cause I was totally disgraced, by my fate
|
| And my place in life
|
| If you were really my friend, you would know I’m
|
| Morethanthis
|
| You should know I’m morethanthis
|
| Muthafucka I’m morethanthis
|
| Nigga you should know I’m morethanthis
|
| Everybody I’m morethanthis
|
| So many things, I’m morethanthis
|
| You should know I’m morethanthis
|
| This ain’t the end yall, morethanthis
|
| And you should know I’m morethanthis
|
| My mama thinks I’m morethanthis
|
| My daddy knows I’m morethanthis
|
| My baby knows I’m morethanthis
|
| My friends know I’m morethanthis
|
| And you should know I’m morethanthis |
