You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feelin' really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
Cause you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh oh oh
Workin' in Ben and Jerry's it was scary
My life vision was blurry
You got talent why's you here
I'm thinkin' yeah plus I am gettin' a belly
I remember mama screaming
You ain't gon' be like your uncle terry
Uncle terry on the corner sellin' rocks
He don't care what you tell him
He a hustler bad muddastrudda
Ridin' in a brand new lex when he pull up
He got a hood b***h from the block in the winter
He pull up on her like baby give me sugar mane
Man I wish I shoulda coulda woulda
Woulda put a hurtin' on her if I hit her with the wood up
She got me dreaming
When I get outta the hood I'mma get me something better
You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feelin' really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
Cause you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh oh oh
In VA where I stay
They don't play they'll tell you that to your face
Collard greens candied yams potato salad
Before you grub better say your grace
Auntie jean was kinda mean but she had dreams
She used to sing like Tina turner
She said bring my wig and bring my dress
My high heel shoes from a Sunday mornin' service
Aye she said I'll show y'all beginners
I'll still whoop that ass with a switch and a splinter
Pray for these tramps runnin' round like a sinner
Missy wanna be a star well tell her she's a winner
Ayeeee she a bad lil' sumn'
Love how she dance like Michael Jackson
Told me I would be number one
Just be yourself don't be nothin' like them
You can be you today
You can be you tonight
Know you're feelin' really great
It's gon' be alright
I can see it in your face
And I know you wanna fly
So get off your ass
And create your life
Cause you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
And you're missin' opportunities
I know you're rich in opportunities
Oh oh oh
