Strive Songtext / Lyric

You can be you today

You can be you tonight

Know you're feeling really great

It's gong be alright

I can see it in your face

And I know you wanna fly

So get off your ass

And create your life



Cause you're missing opportunities

I know you're rich in opportunities

And you're missing opportunities

I know you're rich in opportunities

Oh, oh, oh






Working in Ben & Jerry's, it was scary

My life vision was blurry

You got talent, why's you here?

I'm thinking, yeah, plus I am getting a belly

I remember mama screaming

You ain't gon be like your uncle Terry

Uncle Terry on the corner selling rocks

He don't care what you tell him

He a hustler, bad muddastrudda

Riding in a brand new Lex when he pull up

He got a hood bitch from the block in the winter

He pull up on her like, Baby give me sugar, mane

Man I wish I shoulda, coulda, woulda

Woulda put a hurting on her if I hit her with the wood up

She got me dreaming

When I get outta the hood, I'm a get me something better



Cause you're missing opportunities

I know you're rich in opportunities

And you're missing opportunities

I know you're rich in opportunities

Oh, oh,



In VA, where I stay

They don't play, they'll tell you that to your face

Collard greens, candied yams, potato salad

Before you grub, better say your grace

Auntie Jean was kinda mean, but she had dreams

She used to sing like Tina Turner

She said, Bring my wig and bring my dress

My high heel shoes from a Sunday morning service

She said, I'll show y'all beginners

I'll still whoop that ass with a switch and a splinter

Pray for these tramps running round like a sinner

Missy wanna be a star? Well tell her she's a winner

Ayeeee, she a bad lil sumn

Love how she dance like Michael Jackson

Told me I would be number one

Just be yourself, don't be nothing like them
