Hard Ride

When I was small My mama told me (my mama told me) Whatever you want to be (whatever you wanna be) You can do it (you can do it boosie) Aiight I said aiight mama I'm a do it Look I send this out to everybody with dreams Who trynna chase they dreams by any means You might wanna be a lawyer a doctor Whatever Do whatever you want You can do it if you put yo mind to it Talkin' rap stars trap stars If you work hard You can be the best at what you doing That's a fact boy I know you from the hood Shit don't look good But that don't mean you can't make it out Be in a nice house Keep ya head up Never say you can't Love yourself if you feel nobody loves you You can be bigger then jigga Have your own cologic Money like Oprah Winfry and Raven Samone You keep shooting that ball You keep getting tall You might be headed to the NBA any day Gotta pray to god to guide you home So hit yo knees If you believe then you can achieve Take the game from me Boosie Bad Azz [Chorus:] Since an itty bitty kitty I've been chasn' my dreams I dreamed this on my desk Back in middle school [x2] Since an itty bitty kitty I've been chasn' my dreams I'm a be all I can be by any means Say that Since an itty bitty kitty I've been chasn' my dreams I dreamed this on my desk Back in middle school Middle School (kill da world) Boosie let's ride High School (McKinley High) Handful of rocks 17 years old I was the man on the block Fat knots two at the bottom four at the top 18 I was ready (hustle) 19 ready 20 in a beamer living the movie belly For real I ain't no wanna-be Bitch I'm a gonna-be Told my son you can be better then me if you wanna-be Got ya mind made up and it can happen I told the principle every time I got paddled That one day I'll be rich with alotta nice car He told me shut up You gone be behind bars And you can be a star And never ever quit If he ain't doing nothing He don't need to tell you shit Say that When I was 5 my mama Looked at her son and Told me boy you gone Break hearts cause you to cute for just one [Chorus]
