You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feeling really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
'Cause you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh, oh, oh
Workin' in Ben & Jerry's, it was scary
My life vision was blurry
You got talent, why is you here?
I'm thinkin', yeah, plus I am gettin' a belly
I remember mama screaming
"You ain't gon' be like your Uncle Terry"
Uncle Terry on the corner sellin' rocks
He don't care what you tell him, he a hustler
Bad mother, shut up
Ridin' in a brand new Lex' when he pull up
He got a hood bitch on the block and I want her
He pull up on her like, "Baby, give me sugar, man"
Man, I wish I coulda, shoulda, woulda
When I put a hand on her if I hit her, what then, what up?
She got me dreamin'
When I get out of the hood, I'ma get me somethin' better
You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feeling really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
'Cause you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh, oh, oh
(Let's go)
In VA, where I stay, they don't play
They'll tell you that to your face (Yeah)
Collard greens, candy yams, potato salad
For your grub, better say your grace (Woo)
Auntie Jean was kinda mean, but she had dreams
She used to sing like Tina Turner
She said, "Bring my wig, and bring my dress
My high heel shoes from a Sunday morning service"
Ayy, she said, "I'll show y'all beginners" (Ayy)
I still whip that ass with a switch and a splinter (Ayy)
Pray for these children, they real like a sinner
Missy wanna be a star, well, tell her she a winner
Ayy, she a bad lil' somethin'
Love how she dance like Michael Jackson (Ayy)
Told me I would be number one
Just be yourself, don't be nothin' like them
You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feeling really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
'Cause you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missing opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh, oh, oh
