I don't know how it slipped my mind— cause it's golden You only got one shot, but keep rollin' And just forget what happened before Always remember it can happen some more I want it all From the time I hit rock bottom To the paparazzi sayin', “I got him” Best believe I go in Yep, it ain't hard to tell I want it all They consider myself lucky; I had my ordinary hoop dreams Jumpin' on whatever the loop brings And I ain't talkin' bout my shoestrings Now the only time I could converse with people is through my Ustream Had the pleasure to live up the block form one of the greatest rappers of all time But I wasn't on time So this image of mine— he already live And I made it out my crib, finish what he begin to live Came from being in that shelter to livin, up in a condo Media waiting for me to slip like a convo Walk through Hollywood and everybody's livin Walk through Brownsville— you'd be lucky to find a John Doe Friends went from playin' ball to smokin' trees in the hall Dreamin' bout that “good life,” bumpin' Biggie Smalls Now they regret that whole lifestyle They got the chance to change and it's right now I don't know how it slipped my mind— cause it's golden You only got one shot, but keep rollin' And just forget what happened before Always remember it can happen some more I want it all From the time I hit rock bottom To the paparazzi sayin', “I got him” Best believe I go in Yep, it ain't hard to tell I want it all Now what you know about hoppin' on that train To get inspired by the big lights? Surrounded by people who never cared to live life Females my age decided to give life Messed up their kids life— you could say they k**ed twice Damn, hope I could be somebody's idol Show them success and how to conquer all their rivals My homie, Mel, turned over to the Bible Cause God is the only person he couldn't lie to I'm an example of what could happen to my friends But instead they decided to k** their dreams and pretend Two up to you, and I hope to see y'all at the end Hopefully you'd be blessed enough to start over again And it only gets better Haters: I ain't in jail so you can stop writing me letters Came out of a wet one to get my feet wetter I guess I'm the only one who got my life together I don't know how it slipped my mind— cause it's golden You only got one shot, but keep rollin' And just forget what happened before Always remember it can happen some more I want it all From the time I hit rock bottom To the paparazzi sayin', “I got him” Best believe I go in Yep, it ain't hard to tell I want it all Life: it's too short to wake up in the mornin' with regrets So love the people who treat you right Forget about the ones who don't And believe that everything happens for a reason If you get a chance: Take it If it changes your life: Let it Nobody said it would be easy They just promised it would be worth it
