[Verse 1: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
I know Imma get it, I just dont know how

~#**************#~
Parents always tried to keep me home
~#**************#~
But I cant get paid from the crib, so Ill be gone til we on
~#**************#~
Whats up, Finally Famous
~#**************#~
I had it on my jacket way back in high school
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
So me and my niggas real lifed it, every week we did them cyphers
~#**************#~
At the radio, had a crazy flow, man the city aint heard shit like this
~#**************#~
I woke up early on a Saturday
~#**************#~
Said Imma cash my check and hit some ass today
~#**************#~
Hit the bank, my nigga called me like: “Go rap for Ye
~#**************#~
He at the station, rap that shit that you rap everyday”
~#**************#~
Man, that shit sounds stupid
~#**************#~
Then I hung up on his ass, then called him back like “Fuck, lets do it”
~#**************#~
I didnt even cash my check, man cant believe my ass pursued it
~#**************#~
I didnt even have no gas but somehow God just lead me to it
~#**************#~
Like, “Lets do it”

[Verse 2: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Just to think, last night I was in Venice hugging bitches
~#**************#~
Thanking God Almighty, condoms were invented
~#**************#~
Cause I had a yellow bone that couldve come from out the Simpsons
~#**************#~
Man. who claim she never did it (Yeah right)
~#**************#~
But under these conditions, she was with it
~#**************#~
Then I hopped up on that red eye when I finished
~#**************#~
I been gone for five hours, fuck, my head still spinning
~#**************#~
Fucked the hotel up, shit she probably still in it
~#**************#~
Getting rest that I be missing
~#**************#~
But fuck it Im on a mission
~#**************#~
Flight delayed like 30 minutes, now thats the shit that I hate
~#**************#~
Now its eight thirty, Im officially late, for that eight oclock spot
~#**************#~
I know the Program Director hot
~#**************#~
But I spit a freestyle up in there so cold
~#**************#~
That everybody in that bitch forgot, now Im running late for sound check
~#**************#~
And I heard the lines already to the lot, walking out the station
~#**************#~
And thats around the time that I got stopped, by this shorty tryna rhyme
~#**************#~
Manager said we aint got time, but time to time
~#**************#~
You gotta make time when its time for karma to come back around
~#**************#~
I say “Aye dawg, What you got?”, “Aw dawg, Big Sean, thanks a lot
~#**************#~
Um, alright, its that young renegade, man they been afraid
~#**************#~
Tryna follow me get in a maze, Leave you minute maid
~#**************#~
Um, Im like a young black Eminem
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Tryna stack my dividends, get my mom a new crib and them
~#**************#~
And a bunch of synonyms about how he was living and I even let him finish it
~#**************#~
I mean I cant lie he was alright, but at his age, shit so was I
~#**************#~

[Outro 1: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Tell me what you know about dreams, what you know about having faith
~#**************#~
In something you cant see, tell me how much do you believe
~#**************#~
What you know about feeling something, that you cant even touch
~#**************#~
What you know bout smelling something, that you cant even breathe
~#**************#~
But when the world drives you out, and your gas tank is on E
~#**************#~
All the faith that you had, just aint all the faith that you need
~#**************#~
All the faith that I have, just aint all the faith that I need
~#**************#~
Im sorry
~#**************#~
[Outro 2: Mama Myra]
~#**************#~
I know youre not my child talking like that. Focus on shifting this negative energy, into something positive. And the easiest way to do that, is to be grateful for all the things that you do have, for your health, for your family, your friends, all the people that care about you. Youve got food to eat, youve got a place to stay. Ugh you know, lets feel good, lets get happy, boi! haha
