verse 1:
I been in this game for years
and made me an artist
blood sweatin' tears came to fault for this
real live gangstas wanna be rappers
real live singers wanna be actors

Fundisha the next chapter
Lessons inspired by the lord and my pastor
and ya'll ain't even ready for that

Chrous:
So you say you wanna be a superstar
wanna live the life and drive a nice car
wanna roc the ice and have a big house ( I don't know)
wanna be wanna be wanna be

Verse 2:
