Mama told me gotta go to church
Said i need some God in my life
Anotha said i gotta go to work
Like i Need a job in my life
I be workin every single day doe
Only got the homies on the pay roll
Do this for all the Johnny and Jane Does
We got the Same Goals, Yea we got the Same Goals
Lookin up to that sunset
That street life so suspect
Neva knowin, whats next
But i gotta get it right, so i confess
I gotta let em know . how I neva thought I'd be
Anybody that people foreva callin me
They wonder how'd i get this, comin up from the kick flips
They wonder how I made it off of the island of the misfits
Its NOT a golden ticket, its NOT a silver spoon
If I wanna have it all, then i GOTTA give it to u
Ayeeee
Mama told me gotta go to church

We got the Same Goal, yea we got the same goals
10 days for that 1 check
Clockin out but ain't done yet
From livin out of a trashbag to
Hotels and that 1 jet
Hackey sack in the hallways
Back to backin the wrong way
Day dreamin in math class
Now I'm backpackin down broadway
These people comin at me
I know inside they aint happy
They buyin somethin flashy
All they had to DO was ask me
I tell em why I do this
You see The truth is
You come up with a come up
Or u come up with excuses
Ayeeeee
