Started out in Brooklyn back in '96
When the nets were still in jersey but we loved the
Knicks
I didnt grow up in a family that hugged and kissed
But ain't sayin they didnt love they kids we ain't
Some republicans
And all I wanted was a pool in my back yard
They say we couldnt have fun, didnt have jobs
They say we couldn't pay rent couldn't slack off
Couldn't pack up and take the vacation out in Nassau
Got a private education with the future goin sass cats
Even tried to duck the bill collector on some Aflac
They got rich stacks named Garfield thats fat cats fat
Cats
Send me frank and dean I got my rap pack rap pack
So dont worry bout my accent
You life your life in past tense
You know some girls you best friends
I know some girls we have sex
And we all know girls that do drugs
And we all know girls that just won't
But I know they waiting for me when I come home
I dont wanna be a legend
I just wanna get to heaven
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I dont wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it real-a oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me
They say make it out my home before its too late
Love my mom and dad but I dont want em as a roommate
Got a kitchen fulla food and liquor like Im Lupe
But yall fake as fuck like toupees, So I see the world
In blu ray
High Definition, I'mma Tivo it
I wanna save the moment and show that Im devoted
Preach, Im on my knees like I Tebowed it
Im just a young kid celebrating like reloaded
So pardon the following interruption from this rap shit
Im just tryin to make a million dollars off my passion
Thats it
Guys call me coach now, girls call me captian
Feelin like Van Dungy cause my team was fuckin Magic
But back when I ain't had shit, no food up in my
Cabinets
They just try to slow me down but I won't play in
Traffic
Got passed it, ain't a beauty contest or a pageant
But I got these kids flippin like gymnastics
I dont wanna be a legend
I just wanna get to heaven
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I dont wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it real-a oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me
So let me fly away
Makin my mistakes
Its harder to stay all in the same place
You never say youre gonna change
Let me float away let go of my weight
Cause all my mistakes dont have to stay
Doin all that I can dont let it fade
I dont wanna be a legend
I just wanna get to heaven
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
I dont wanna be a killer, no
I just wanna keep it real-a oh
I just wanna do me right now
Wanna do me right now
Let me be me
