They used to tell me
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just
know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything
you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest
thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls
that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin'
million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just
remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world
That one man could change the world
All I all I wanted was a
hundred million dollars
and a bad chick
Imagine this so much some nights
it felt like that I had it
Back on the mattress
Starin' at the ceilin' tryna
to connect the dots
But its hard makin' those attachments
I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard
some nights it felt like draft day
You know My my step brother
used to flip them bags outside
the crib like it was trash day
No Kim K but he bagged yay Ye
But when you're getting fast
money slow down don't crash
With all the drive in the world
swear you still need gas
Look think about it
close your eyes dream about it
Tell your team about it
go make million dollar schemes about it
Success is on the way
I feel it in the distance
Used to look up at the stars
and be like ain't too much that's different
I be shinin' they be shinin'
get your one shot don't you miss it
What you know bout' wakin' up
everyday like you on a mission
And I hope you learn to
make it on your own
And if you love yourself just
know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything
you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest
thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls
that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin'
million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just
remember one thing
Remember one thing
One man could change the world
One man could change the world
My grandma told me if you write
your name in stone
you'll never get the white out
I grinded out that black hole
then performed up at the white house
Standin' next to Jim Carrey
we traded stories then laughed
I said you not the only one
I know got rich wearin' masks
Where I'm from I swear they broke
they need way more than the cast
We need more than what you have
And then we need more than that
But how am I supposed to say I'm tired
If that girl from West Virginia
came up in conditions
that I couldn't survive
Went to war came back alive
On top of that became
a female black captain
When being black you had to
extra extra try
Way before James Brown
made us proud
She bought a crib on the same
street as Marvin Gaye
Right there on Outer Drive
and she taught me how to drive
And she raised the kids
then the kids' kids
and she did it right
Taught me how to love
taught me not to cry
When I die
I hope you teach me how to fly
All my life you've been that
angel in disguise saying
I hope you learn
to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just
know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything
you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest
thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls
that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin'
million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just
remember one thing
Remember one thing
One man can change the world
One man can change the world
Thank you for callin' me
been thinkin' about me
It's all good I love you grandma
Bye
