You gon' be a star they said

They said

You gon' take us far they said

They said

Everywhere you go

They're gon' know your name

Who cares if you get lonely

Long as you're famous

Don't you want money and the cars

They said expensive liquor and cigars they said

I mean what's better than having everything that you dreamed of

Long as they need you you don't need love

Just be great

Put on for your city for your state

And whatever you do

Just make us proud

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

Yeah they say

Just be great

Who cares if there's too much on your plate

Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain

No rain

Whatever you do just make us proud

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

You gon you gonna be a star they said

They said

Don't waste your tomorrow they said

They said

You're the one that's chosen to make it out

Gotta seize the moment

Don't let us down

Just gotta play your part they said

And history you'll be a part of it

I mean what's better than having everything that you dreamed of

Long as they need you you don't need love

Just be great

Great

Put on for your city for your state

State

And whatever you do

Just make us proud

Proud

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

Clouds

Yeah they say

Just be great

Just be great

Who cares if there's too much on your plate

Your plate now

Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain

No rain

Whatever you do just make us proud

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds oooh

Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

Oooh

Ain't gonna be no

I was way too far out in the world

But I still put on for my city

I was handing out too much milk money

Too much kitten and a*s and titties

I lost my voice like a pastor

Faster than a Harlem shimmy

But I guess that's what you get

For trying to make heartbreak pretty

They say life's a *****

Life's a *****

And then you die

So please if you're penning my eulogy just say I tried

And that's word to Phineas Jess and Si

And if I don't wake up in Heaven

Then it was one hell of a ride

Hell of a ride

If I don't wake up in Heaven

Then it was one hell of a ride

A hell of a ride

Momma said money can't buy me happiness

So I copped a G5

Tried to fly myself up next to it

I ****** up some commas

Just to dot-dot-dot

Where's the rest of it

This what clean look like

When clean took life and made a mess of it

Had to realize I'm just blessed to it

You can't take it all with you

But you can remember the best of it

I pray for peace within myself

And no more regrets with it

'Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi

It reflected it

And if you know me you're right next to it

I'm everything you thought I was

I'm everything I thought I was

It was everything I thought it was

It was everything I thought it was
