Moms, Dads, can't you understand that I'm a man
Sinkin' on my very own plan to success
Yes, I love you and a whole nine
But your life is yours, and my life is mine
So let me shine through this journey called life
Gotta watch my back 'fore the stabbing of a knife
My dreams a path, now my friends laugh
But soon and very soon, they want my autograph
'Cause I'll be a star, drivin' fly car
To non believers you know who ya are
But my dream was out by the voice of my Pops
"Son get a job, quit Hip-Hop!"
But I, won't because I know I'm good
Dad if you only understood
Yes there's a chance but yo I gotta take it
You'll be proud when I make it
You'll be proud
Let me go, let me go, why do you hold my hand?
Don't you understand, I've grown to be your man
All my life you've been tellin' me what to do
But right now I feel it's time I tell you
I love you very much, for bein' there by my side
For me and my trip, and easy ride
But can't ya see you have my whole career
And Mom, what you want me to be?
I don't care
All you keep sayin' is I fall into a trap
You think I won't get paid, because I'm into Rap
Well guess what your wrong, and watch you will see
Never will your sons pockets be empty
Keep thinkin' that I'll stomach 'cause I don't want to hear it
I don't wanna hear it 'cause your puttin' down my spirit
I'm waitin' for that chance, that chance to take it
You'll be proud when I make it
You'll be proud
The lifestyle I choose made me happy as can be
But do I live for you? Or do you'll ever see?
It's time for you to see that your little boy has grown
All on his own when he rocks the microphone
I sit and meditate when I create a funky tape
They sell a million copies then bring all the pape's
But never would I walk with my head in the clouds
Because I just wanna make ya proud
Yo, don't let your premise put you down
'Cause whatever you do they'll still be around
Do whatever that pleases you, eases you
'Cause they'll always see ya through
So do what you want, but watch what you do
Don't ever let your Mom and Dad get the best of you
Whatever your after, go take it
They'll be proud when ya make it
They'll be proud
