You can be you today You can be you tonight Know you're feelin' really great It's gon' be alright I can see it in your face And I know you wanna fly So get off your ass And create your life 'Cause you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, oh Workin' in Ben & Jerry's, it was scary My life vision was blurry You got talent, why's you here? I'm thinkin', "Yeah, plus I am gettin' a belly" I remember mama screamin' "You ain't gon' be like your uncle Terry" Uncle Terry on the corner sellin' rocks He don't care what you tell him He a hustler, bad muddastrudda Ridin' in a brand new Lex when he pull up He got a hood bitch from the block in the winter He pull up on her like, "Baby give me sugar, mane" Man I wish I shoulda, coulda, woulda Woulda put a hurtin' on her if I hit her with the wood up She got me dreamin' When I get outta the hood, I'mma get me somethin' better You can be you today You can be you tonight Know you're feelin' really great It's gon' be alright I can see it in your face And I know you wanna fly So get off your ass And create your life 'Cause you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, oh In VA, where I stay They don't play, they'll tell you that to your face Collard greens, candied yams, potato salad 'Fore you grub, better say your grace Auntie Jean was kinda mean, but she had dreams She used to sing like Tina Turner She said, "Bring my wig and bring my dress My high heel shoes from a Sunday mornin' service" Aye, she said, "I'll show y'all beginners" I'll still whoop that ass with a switch and a splinter Pray for these tramps runnin' 'round like a sinner Missy wanna be a star? Well tell her she's a winner Ayeeee, she a bad lil' sumn' Love how she dance like Michael Jackson Told me I would be number one Just be yourself, don't be nothin' like them You can be you today You can be you tonight Know you're feelin' really great It's gon' be alright I can see it in your face And I know you wanna fly So get off your ass And create your life 'Cause you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, oh
