Someday I'm gonna get it right my life
Someday I'm gonna figure it out maybe tonight
'Cause I know I'ma get it right
And I know I'ma get it right
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa

I'm 'bout to get it 'bout to get-get-get it
Can't do with little 'cause I'm big-big Willie
I'm 'bout to do it just like Bill Gates did it
'Cause I was born I was born to kill it
Gimme my dollars gi-gimme my dollars
I need it bigger I'm too big for smaller
I keep on walking like I'm blue color
I'm 'bout to get it baby enchila'

Someday I'm gonna get it right my life
Someday I'm gonna figure it out maybe tonight
'Cause I know I'ma get it right
And I know I'ma get it right
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa

Breathe
Just breathe
Now breathe
Drop it

I came here from the Philippines
In the plane with some big big dreams
I left everything I knew behind me
Like my mom and my family
People tell me that I ain't gonna make it
I got a finger aimed at all of them haters
In a minute you're gon' catch the vapors
'Cause in a minute I'ma get my paper

Someday I'm gonna get it right my life
Someday I'm gonna figure it out maybe tonight
'Cause I know I'ma get it right
And I know I'ma get it right
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa
Someday whoa whoa
One day whoa whoa

Someday you're wondering
If you're really gonna make it (oh yeah)
And sometimes you wanna know
Is there anyone to save you (oh yeah)
I know you've been down before
Like underneath the ground (under the ground)
Still got a little chance
To turn it all around (turn it around)
Soon your time will come
So give it all you got (give it all you got)
Don't stop believing
So give it all you got
(give it all you got-got-got-




Got-got-got-got-got-got-got-
Got-got-got-got-got-got)
