BIG SEAN - One Man Can Change The World lyrics

rate me

Ft. Kanye West & John Legend

(Hook)

They used to tell me I hope ya learn to make it on yo own

And if ya luv yoself just know you'll neva be alone

I hope that ya get errythin' ya want & that ya chose

I hope that it's the realest thing that ya eva know

Hope ya get the pretty girls, is pretty at errythin'

Million dolla cribs having million dolla dreams

And when ya get it all just remember one thing

Remember one thing

That one man could change the world

That one man could change the world

(Verse: Big Sean)

Hold up, all I wanted was a hundred million dollas & a bad chick

Imagine this so much sum' nights it felt like that I had it

Back on the mattress

Staring at the ceiling tryna to connect the dots

But its hard making those attachments

I'm talking dreaming so hard, sum' nights it felt like draft day

Ya know my step brotha used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day, no Kim K, but he bagged yay

But when you're gettin' fast $, slow down, don't crash

With all the drive in the world, swear ya still need gas

Look, think about it, close yo eyes, dream about it

Tell yo team about it, go make million dolla schemes about it

Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance

Used to look up at the stars & be like ain't too much that's different

I be shinin', they be shinin', get yo one shot don't ya miss it

What ya know bout' wakin' up erryday like ya on a mission?

(Hook)

(Verse 2: Big Sean)

My grandma told me if ya write yo name in stone you'll neva get the white out

I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the White House

Standin' next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed

I said ya not the only one I know got rich wearin' masks

Where I'm from I swear they broke, they need way mo' than the cast

We need mo' than what ya have & then we need mo' than that

But how am I supposed to say I'm tired?!

If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't survive

Went to war, came back alive on top of that became a female black captain

When bein' black ya had to extra extra try

Way befo' James Brown made us proud

She bought a crib on the same street as Marvin Gaye

Right there on Outer Drive, & she taught me how to drive

And she raised the kids, then the kids' kids, & she did it right

Taught me how to luv, taught me not to cry

When I die, I hope ya teach me how to fly

All my life you've been that angel in disguise sayin'

(Hook)

(Outro)

Grandma: Thank you for calling me, been thinking about me

Big Sean: It's all good, I luv ya, grandma

Grandma: Bye!
