Wannabe Lyrics by M.A.T. (USA)

Just Hold On

2011

[Hook]
Now you can be anything that you wanna be
Real or fake right now what's it going to be
Choose your fate, greatness right in front of me
Rule the world be a king if you wanna be
[Verse 1]
Ayo take it from me I was gonna be
But now I'm looking at the man right in front of me
Saying that I don't really wanna be somebody else
Cause I rather be me than see me on the shelf
And yeah I could have a couple plaques
But that don't mean shit if it's from an act
And I know I would fall off track
Cause that ain't even how I got into this thing called rap
In the first place and the worse case scenario
In a game full of people changing tunes like a stereo
I never get played on the radio
But that's okay cause that never made me go
This is why I do this on the daily so
I can make doe even though I know I am
That ain't everything yo
And if you don't stand for anything you can go
Falling down when the wind blows
So I gotta let them know
[Hook]
Now when I say wannabe
I'm talking bout anyone being something that they don't wanna be
And they keep on running from their dreams
Maybe it's because everybody told them they would never succeed
So they believe everybody else and they never achieved
Greatness and I hate this
Cause I grew up and saw my uncle make the same decisions letting all of his talent go wasted
Could it be I'm living in the past
Or is this my future if I sit on my ass
And as I grow old man I'm starting to see
That nothing lasts forever except where I left a part of me
In the heart of another I ain't talking bout the arteries
I'm talking bout the memories
So when you think about that I hope you remember me
Be a king or a queen
[Hook]
