They used to tell me
|
I hope you learn to make it on your own
|
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
|
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
|
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
|
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty at everything
|
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
|
And when you get it all just remember one thing
|
Remember one thing
|
That one man could change the world
|
That one man could change the world
|

[Verse 1: Big Sean]
|
Hol' up, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chick
|
Imagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had it
|
Back on the mattress
|
Starin' at the ceilin' tryna to connect the dots
|
But its hard makin' those attachments
|
I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft day
|
You know my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day, no Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye)
|
But when you're getting fast money, slow down, don't crash
|
With all the drive in the world, swear you still need gas
|
Look, think about it, close your eyes, dream about it
|
Tell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about it
|
Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance
|
Used to look up at the stars and be like ain't too much that's different
|
I be shinin', they be shinin', get your one shot don't you miss it
|
What you know bout' wakin' up everyday like you on a mission?

|
My grandma told me if you write your name in stone you'll never get the white out
|
I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the white house
|
Standin' next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed
|
I said you not the only one I know got rich wearin' masks
|
Where I'm from I swear they broke, they need way more than the cast
|
We need more than what you have
|
And then we need more than that
|
But how am I supposed to say I'm tired
|
If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't survive
|
Went to war, came back alive
|
On top of that became a female black captain
|
When being black you had to extra extra try
|
Way before James Brown made us proud
|
She bought a crib on the same street as Marvin Gaye
|
Right there on Outer Drive, and she taught me how to drive
|
And she raised the kids, then the kids' kids, and she did it right
|
Taught me how to love, taught me not to cry
|
When I die, I hope you teach me how to fly
|
All my life you've been that angel in disguise saying
|
|

|
[Grandma:] Bye
