And I'm crying every time I wanna be something (damn it) And I'm crying every time I wanna be something (damn it) And I'm crying every time I wanna be something (damn it) And I'm crying every time I wanna be something (damn it)
I wanna be something you can't touch I ain't talking about God I wanna be something you can't fight I ain't talking about Jesus I'm talking about values man I'm talking about that 'Cause we lost a lot of values Shame this is us We don't know where the Money is at We don't know where the fun is at No pact with the devil man That's why we are not the richest So let me tell you what is like to be, what we be To chase a dream You may never reach yeah To say enough nigga to what we get We learn to love that and more than that It's a way of living here man fuck that But me I'm not remainder I can change the world You think I'm complaining, I'm not 'Cause I love solutions But I don't like When my brother is living upon illusions We should sit down and talk about What is like to be, what we be Do you agree on that?

You can't look at the mirror 'Cause you don't love yourself You compare yourself with death Nobody love death But death is beautiful Is where we see how much we love each other But the problem is I won't hear your words while I'm gone brother But stop with that Tell me now live tell me now live brother Tell me that you love me Now I got my question, what is like to be What we be, do you agree mammy? I'm the future myself when I look at the mirror And y'all don't look at it 'Cause you were taught you're too ugly Darling, we must stay strong like Baki One day we gonna have to fight for our country Do you think you only politician When you go to school? Naah We all politicians using different tool Now I got my question What is like to be, what we be Do you agree is that cool?

We're still fighting for small things But small things they give away 'Cause they don't fit That's why we're not the richest ya dig But the land is blessed we all learned it Is 'cause we don't have degree to understand it Are you sure we don't have degree to understand it? Or maybe my daddy is too greedy Too greedy that he cannot admit it And if he can't take care of kids he must leave If power can be given it can be taken That's neat
Ahh Ahh
