[Verse 1: Big Bear] A few years ago didn't know hip-hop But now things have changed I don't where it stops Everywhere I go I see these shops Selling these records that I don't know about My direction has changed from big highways To these little roads where I have my say Boy I hope that we make it someday But even if we don't it won't be a waste Here we got channels solely for hits But where are the stations for songs like this Music's all about fame and about getting all rich But really all I want is my little old wish Maybe some knowledge and a little bit of fame But most all fun and staying true to my name I'd rather have my krew than a big flash car ‘Cause really it's friends that'll take you far [Hook: Big Bear] Sometimes I think about the paths I could choose And often it seems that there's too much to do I guess the biggest thing is to stay in school And then you can travel far from the zoo I'd love to see the city that started all this Take a chunk of apple and learn a little bit Next on my list is a place called Rome But I won't see any all on my own [Verse 2: Big Bear] I got myself a board to try and be the greatest Turns out it's harder than the look they make it They tell you all you do is flick your foot out I can't even ride a straight-line route Without getting off for every little hop So all my ambition then slowed to a stop But it's not gone in the blink of an eye It might be tomorrow that I have another try In truth I don't know what direction to walk Where to focus time cause my time is short In not too long I will have settled into life And I'm sure that stage is going to be nice But for now I would like to cherish these years ‘Cause this is the time to break my fears Explore new heights and to try to achieve Things that I might not ever believe [Hook: Big Bear] Sometimes I think about the paths I could choose And often it seems that there's too much to do I guess the biggest thing is to stay in school And then you can travel far from the zoo I'd love to see the city that started all this Take a chunk of apple and learn a little bit Next on my list is a place called Rome But I won't see any all on my own [Verse 3: Big Bear] Picking up the cans can be illegality But what about the day it becomes a speciality People are sick of it in their neighbourhood But they're only sick of stuff that doesn't look good Artists don't start by painting perfectly They need a space to practise their art on the street If you don't agree that it's an art form Then I guess you've probably only seen the dawn Of what is on offer on some of the streets Go over to London and see some Banksy His artwork is prized and when it's destroyed The people of the town make sure it's restored I guess it's all because the place he be drifting Is way up higher that the place we be sitting Someday perhaps I'll be as good as he But only if I practise my art on the street [Hook: Big Bear] Sometimes I think about the paths I could choose And often it seems that there's too much to do I guess the biggest thing is to stay in school And then you can travel far from the zoo I'd love to see the city that started all this Take a chunk of apple and learn a little bit Next on my list is a place called Rome But I won't see any all on my own [Outro: Big Bear] Please bear what have to say in your mind ‘Cause I don't say these words just 'cause they rhyme I try to let you know my opinions on life And even though I might not get it all right Something I've said might help you out Or maybe teach you things that you don't know about I dedicate this song to Rebecca Black Now it's your turn make a song and hit me back
