I'm just trying to talk to my homie, that's something to hold Now homegirl not trying to be a ho, even though she on a pole Can she get a second chance? NO! Whoa! Like the opposite of gold That ain't how it's supposed to be: a butterfly For the sake of rhyming let's just say "butterflyee" The truth stings like Muhammad Ali I tell 'em tell 'em don't homocide me I just a little old hope with his back against the ropes Fighting for his fans and, fighting for his folks But the boo's from the crowd can become so loud If I could block em out then, I could knock em out and Dance around the ring, but until then I'll sing Hook: I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be Until I get there Until I get there And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it When I get there When I get there [Verse 2] "Doctor doctor please!
