I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something
Ooh I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something for you
Too many people got too many expectations, yeah
Say I'm too busy living life like a vacation, but
As I get older I'm learning to be more patient, but
That doesn't mean i'm getting lazy or complacent
They say the grass is greener I'll hop the fence to see if it's true
Swim across the ocean to see if the water's brighter blue
I really got a lot of things I wanna do
But I still find myself seeking approval from you
Ooh I always
Ooh I always wanted
Ooh I always
Ooh I always wanted
I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something
Ooh I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something for you
They say you got to get the money so just face it, yeah
Go work the job that pays the best even if you hate it, well
Green piece of paper you spend your life tryna chase it, um
What kind of quality of life are y'all arranging
Work work work work retire then you die
I'm just not the type of guy that can live that as my life yeah
You could send me to hell I'll reach for the sky
But I just hate the idea that I might be proving you right
Ooh I always
Ooh I always wanted
Ooh I always
Ooh I always wanted
I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something
Ooh I always wanted to be something
Yeah I always wanted to be something for you
