The Incomparable Shakespeare - Great Expectations lyrics

Verse 1 As a kid, my only dream and ambition in life Was to pick up a mic, spit what I write I suppose exotic women and ice could be nice But the long-term goal was go gold; raise the game to new heights I used to run home from school; dance in front of the TV Like Big Daddy Kane, imagining it could be me Anything I didn't know Uncle Ralph would teach me On Video Music Box or groups like BDP As I think back in retrospect I still hold on to the dream and I ain't let go yet Still trying to build the vision like a Lego set Soon come as the tune hums out of my lips Or is it just delusions and I'm out of my wits I admit, my perspective gets clouded a bit Some tell me that I suffer from delusions of grandeur Truthfully, I am the answer Chorus I grow impatient Great expectations I wanna live my life And just fulfill my destiny I grow impatient Great expectations I wanna live my life And just fulfill my wildest dreams Verse 2 My close friends have heard of so many deals that never panned Now I feel like a hobo looking for handouts Plus my bank account dried up and funds ran out I used to hear the fans loud and clear as they would chant out Understand how how I used be the stand out It hard to put your ego aside And I'm hungry and all I've got to eat is my pride I swear it feels like a superhero just died Like when Supes got k**ed by that Doomsday cat Or the time that Bane broke Bruce Wayne's back So I work hard until they say you came back More importantly the day they say you changed rap I mean change like Barack Hussein in fact I'm in my own lane, as for you lame cats Keep fighting for the same position But I'm back. I'm what the game's been missing Chorus Bridge As the color on the leaves change (leaves change) I'm still trying to be thangs (be thangs) As plants grow from a seedling (seedling) I'm still trying to be thangs As the tides in the sea change (sea change) I'm still trying to be thangs (be thangs yeah) As God cries and I see rain (oh oooh oooh oooh) I'm still trying to be thangs Chorus
