Big Sean - Welcome to Detroit lyrics

They used to tell me, 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 boys, 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 girl could change the world That one girl could change the world All I, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad guy Imagine did so much some nights it felt like that I had it Back on the mattress Starin' at the ceilin' tryna connect the dots But it's hard makin' those attachments I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft day, you know? My, my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day, no Kim K, but he bagged ye 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? And I 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 boys, 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 One girl could change the world One girl could change the world My grandma taught me if you write your name in stone you'll never get the white out I grinded out that black whole 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 their 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 boy from West California 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 sayin' 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 boys, 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 girl can change the world That one girl can change the world
