You gon' be a star, they said They say you gon' take us far, they said They say everywhere you go they gon' know your name Who cares if you get lonely Long as you're famous Don't you want money and the cars, they said Expensive liquor and cigars, they said I mean, what's better than having everything that you dreamed of? Long as they need you, you don't need love Just be great Put on for your city, for your state And whatever you do, just make us proud Ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds Yeah, they say Just be great Who cares if there's too much on your plate Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain, no rain Whatever you do, just make us proud And ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds (Ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds) You gon', you gon' be a star, they said They said don't waste your tomorrow, they said They said you're the one that's chosen to make it out Gotta seize the moment, don't let us down Just gotta play your part, they said And history'll be a part of it I mean, what's better than having everything that you dreamed of? Long as they need you, you don't need love Just be great (just be great) Put on for your city, for your state (state) And whatever you do, just make us proud (proud) Ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds (clouds) Yeah, they say Just be great (just be great) Who cares if there's too much on your plate (your plate now) Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain, no rain Whatever you do, just make us proud And ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds, ooh (Ain't gon' be no cryin' from the clouds) ooh (Ain't gon' be no) I was way too far out in the world But I still put on for my city I was handing out too much milk money Too much kitten, ass and titties I lost my voice like a pastor Faster than a Harlem shimmy But I guess that's what you get for tryna make heartbreak pretty Uh, they say life's a bitch (life's a bitch) and then you die So please, if you're penning my eulogy, just say I tried And that's word to Phineas, Jess' and Si' And if I don't wake up in Heaven Then it was one hell of a ride (hell of a ride) Yuh, yuh If I don't wake up in Heaven It was one hell of a ride Hell of a ride Uh, momma said money can't buy me happiness So I copped a G5 Tried to fly myself up next to it I fucked up some commas Just a dot-dot That was the rest of it This what clean look like When clean took life and made a mess of it Had to realize I'm just blessed to it You can't take it all with you But you can remember the best of it I pray for peace within myself And no more regrets with it 'Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi It reflected it And if you know me, you're right next to it I'm everything you thought I was I'm everything I thought I was It was everything I thought it was It was everything I thought it was
