[Intro]
Oooh ooh
Oooh ooh
Oooh ooh
Oooh ooh
[Verse 1]
(Uh) I'm back at it again
Doing damage with a pad and a pen
Expecting nothing less than a rating average of ten
Here to break the standard trends and habits of man
It's more savage than macho man Randy Savage's tan (ooh)
Style so unique they don't know what to call it
Get you on your feet standing up like a cowlick
Cooked something to feed all you hip-hop-aholics
I shine like my Addidas- all clean and polished
Yeah, I graduated from college
With a useless degree and some irrelevant knowledge and a
Whole lot of loans that I'll only pay off
If this so-called music career ever takes off
I'm laid off 'til it's time to hit the grind
Papermate to the Mead, yo I speak my mind
I should be a shoe cleaner, I spit the shine
Flip a beat make you shake 'til you twist your spine
Now everybody want a piece of the B.Reith pie
I sauté my beats so they don't taste dry
Leave your mouth waterin'
You savoring the flavor
Stay fresh in case you were saving it for later
[Hook]
I've waited for so long to come this far
I never thought the time would come
But look now, here we are
I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child
I gave it all I had to give, mama look now aren't you proud?
[Verse 2]
Now I remember
Back when I was a little boy
Used to act like I was the real McCoy
Star Wars lunch box with the Thermos too
Transformers Trapper Keeper, bro, I thought you knew
Had a crush on a girl plus she liked me too
Held hands rollerskating-- that was all we'd do
Cause that's all we knew
Didn't even conversate
Just sat next to her in math cla** and called it a date
Pops had the Michael Jackson Thriller ca**ette tape
So I popped it in the boombox and faked
Like I was in the video, tryna dance all cool
Wavin' my arms back and forth and actin' a fool
So young and naive, no clue what was ahead of me
But if I did, fear would have got the best of me
Pressed on, stumbled and fell, got up repeatedly
Onward and steadily on towards the heavenlies
[Hook 2]
I've waited for so long to come this far (waited so long)
I never thought the time would come
But look now, here we are (now here we are)
I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child (ever since I was a child)
I gave it all I had to give, father look now aren't you proud?
[Bridge]
(Woah…yeah…yeah…yeah)
Some part inside wants to go back in time and be young again
Free to dream further than the stars above
Time must move on; though my childhood is gone, I can still love again
Free to be the man that you made me
[Outro]
I've waited for so long to come this far (far)
I never thought the time would come
But look now, here we are
(I-I)I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child (child)
I gave it all I had to give give, oh oh mama look now aren't you proud?
