WANNABE Lyrics

This one goes out to Auntie Soldier

10 years too late, what things I should've told you back then

When you was still here, back then

When losing you was just a dumb fear

And I never thought that it would come near

Watch as love becomes tears

Wasn't ready to say goodbye, especially me

I always cried when the summer ended, I had to leave

So just imagine me when you died, I couldn't believe

I turned my back on religion as a method to grieve

But that ain't never a reason to give our God the smirch

You wouldn't like it every Sunday you took us to church

Wish I would forget my faith when you gave me the birch

I just had pain in my spirit, so I went on a search

Hope I find myself as the man you knew I could be

As your fourth son, cause I can't compare to your other three

Greatest thing to enter my life, as far as the eye can see

Closest thing to an angel and I'm lucky I got to call her auntie

Let me finish with something I should've started with

Said it while you were here, these words you should've parted with

I pray you keep watching over me, even through the clouds

Before I join you, my mission is to make you proud

Thank you for everything, I'ma love you eternally

May not be in the physical but you're still here internally

Got that tatted in my eyelids, can't see it any other way

So tell your people that you love them while they here today

The day I heard you sing on that stage, when you what 7

That was the day, you changed the whole thing for me

I literally told somebody to shut up, in the audience

And I had to go apologize to her you know, after the whole show

I told her I'm sorry, she said no it's okay, she understood why

Because you wowed the crowd

Tell you what I want, what I really really wanna be the

Very best that there ever was

The bees knees, catching all the buzz

That limited edition, people gotta listen

See what my ambition does

I hear the song in a dream, then wake up wanting to write

Once the lyrics is done, I record the rest of the night

Wake up and play the demo, hoping it sounds right

Hearing it come together, the visions come into light

My first big check, I'm paying off auntie Soldiers place

Second big check, I'm paying off dads to

Third big check is putting tears on my mama face

Ain't about money, but for a dream come true

That's deeper than just a promise, it's something I always swore

As much as I like the money, I love my family more

They're the ones I'm doing it for

And I would do it again, just ask for an encore

I want everybody to reach up for the sky

Like they hear their favorite song

If you know it, sing along (if you know it, sing along)

I want everybody to reach up for the sky

Like they hear their favorite song

So I know that I belong (so I know that I belong)

Tell you what I wanna be, I wanna be a

Tell you what I wanna be, I wanna be a

Tell you what I wanna be, I wanna be a

Tell you what I wanna be

Tell you what I want, what I really really wanna be a

Wanna be

I gotta be

I wanna be

Tell you what I wanna be

Tell you what I wanna be

Tell you what I wanna be

Tell you what I want, what I really really wanna be a
