Let's take it back, take it back, take it back
Aye
Ooh
I remember growing up
Wanting to be famous
Be a little rock star
Maybe be on tv
In a big ole movie
People sing my songs
And have a couple groupies
I had big dreams
That seemed out of reach
Heard some people say
That it will never be
Well Ain't it kinda funny
That they checkin' for me
I just say hello
And then invite them to my show
Let me tell you now
I pray that i'm making my momma proud
One day i'mma buy her a big ole house
I believe it, I believe it, I believe it,
If you see it, if you dream it, you can reach it
This for the people all around the world
Every boy and every little girl
Don't forget to look up at the stars
And one day you gone make it if you never stop
And you'll say La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da
Look at me
Look at me
Hey look at me
Look At me
Hey
And you'll say La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da
Look at me
Look at me
Hey Look at me
Look At me
Back when I was five years old
I was doing talent shows
I would hear the crowd scream
and that made me want it more
In the classroom singing
Teachers couldn't shut me up
Mommas phone they ringing
Jacob's always cutting up
I knew that I would shine
Was waiting for my time
I had couple days
I fell out of line
Maybe it won't happen
Maybe I ain't have it
Maybe I was tripping
Maybe I was kinda average
Wait
It's just a mind game and I ain't playin
I put the work in now it's time for payment
I don't need a deal, don't need no validation
Got my own path
And my folks are waiting
Waiting
Well they gone see
Me live the dream yeah
They gone see me reach the finish line
Believe it
And when I win it's guaranteed I take team yeah
Yo I can't wait, those who hate
Make them eat it
I pray that I'm making my nana proud
One day I'mma fly her out of town
I believe it, I believe It, I believe it
If you see it, if you dream it, you can reach it
This for the people all around the world
Every boy and every little girl
Don't forget to look up at the stars
And one day you gone make it if you never stop
And you'll say La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da
Look at me

Hey look at me

This is for the dreamers
This for the believers
Who clockin in but never gave up on that fever
Who working overtime to get up in your speakers
Cause when you find your destiny you never leave her
This is for the champions
This is for the queens
This kings who finally made it to that thing
We don't forget we gotta keep inspiring
Cause once they see you do it
They know they can be
Everything little thing they ever hoped and wanted for
And this time won't be denied you're walking through the door
And you'll say La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da
Look at me
