I Wanna Be Lyrics

We all had dreams as kids, but we made too many compromises along the way sacrificing our dreams

I'll bet you the younger version of yourself would never forgive you for giving up on 'em

I'll bet you still have those dreams

I'mma show 'em what I wanna be yeah

Show 'em what I wanna be yeah

Show 'em what I wanna be yeah

Without being a wanna be

I wanna be placed wit' other rappers who made it

Not to be confused by, some of them guys thats complacent

Talkin' bout the few who evolve, never stop gettin' placements,

I picked up a pen as a kid and I didn't play since

Hard work in my ex's basement but wit' no offers

Had to hit the field do something real had to get off hers

Had to dip and get my chips up to get off herrs

Y'all softer than a walk in closet wit' all furs

Sour cream and onion residue, I never knew that switching up my chips would build me revenue

You ever do something just to get up the funds?

I went from spittin' like I cut my tongue to pitchin' like im Cy Young im nothin' huh?

You other rappers in disguise I was in "dun da duns"

That's word to Kenny, young super hero unearth my memory

You diggin' that? Back when I said I could fly so high but didn't rap

Imagination of a kid who had no clue, get all that?

I wanna be, I wanna be

I wanna be so big they have to look under me

Never over look me again like a wanna be

Yea a wanna be, I said I wanna be

I wanna be, I wanna be

I wanna be so big they have to look under me

Never over look me again like a wanna be

Yea a wanna be, I said I wanna be

I used to cover the truth from you had a private life

Kept an event from listeners felt I was lyin' twice

But I'm lion hearted looked in the mirror took my advice

Cause the old me was wrong, homie now, I am right

In spite of all the doubts I had, shit I just kept it pushin'

When times got tough, most puff pass

But I wanna be, B-I-G like I rep brooklyn

I cut class like a bad boy they wanted smoke, so I kept cookin'

Only for the delivery but imma' get on the Roc

My flow heavy narcotics I'm tryna blow up my spot to give me a shot

If you want M's this game is shady gotta give up alot

Went back to class told 'em in 5th that it's get rich or die tryin' and I'm ready to die

If they dont give me a job or let me live out my dreams

It's T-ville to Dreamville Send my cd to TDE

I wanted Chris to know I reign supreme, its my dream

I wanna be, I wanna be

I wanna be so big they have to look under me

Never over look me again like a wanna be

Yea a wanna be, I said I wanna be

I wanna be, I wanna be

I wanna be so big they have to look under me

Never over look me again like a wanna be

Yea a wanna be, I said I wanna be
