Greatest Hit


Moody young man with his heart on his shoulders late night crying with dreams to grow older 
It's all fun and games till you put down the controller pay the cost to be the boss back when men were a lot bolder
 I tell this story time and time again them guys that you roll with ain't really yo friends 
It's safer to have a better option and seas a bad choice you have to open up and let people hear yo voice 
Now mama always said be back home but you so caught up in the fact that your grown 
Till one day mama leave yo side and then you see who really down to ride 
But it was your desicion that's yo loss you wanna buy jewelry and not worry about the cost 
But you do it outta free will and that  is ok it's yours you do what you want anyway 
Constantly hating saying your weak while they still sitting down and your up on your feet 
Hard work pays off you just gotta keep pushing not try to throw a fit when everybody looking 
Show case or no case everybody have talent just gotta stand on your own and see if you manage 
Well if you can't then I'm sorry that's yo loss you back to buying shoes and DVDs and wrist watches from Ross 
Ghetto young man with ghetto dreams you grow wiser and realize everything is not what it seems
