[Verse 1]
I want to be more to the world
I gotta show these people what I'm not
I ain't no bum
I ain't no killer but I got a temper so don't get me hot
I'm getting bigger at least on my block
They starting to notice me see me in shops
And they say what up I seen you on stage just the other day
And I think that you rocked it
I got so many goals that I'm chasing
Watching me catch 'em you'd think I'm a cop
Way that I pounce as soon as I see em
I'm seizing the moment they freeze on the spot
And see once I got 'em I'm keeping 'em locked
Cuz all these accomplishments cream of the crop
And I work too hard raising this garden, slaving away to see it just rot
I'd rather slave away in this booth then say that I peacefully sleep in a cot
Truth be told I be sleeping a lot
Sleep on myself I dream what I'm not
I think of the things I be seeing on tv
The beautiful jewels the gleam of the rocks
And see I don't got em and no I don't want em
But gee it'd be nice to think I could cop it
[Chorus]
I have got to be more
More than I am right now
See I'm just a mortal to you, unimportant I barely got fans right now
Becoming more of a man by the hour
I'm bringing the jams right now
I'm cooking with love and passion
Just like yo grandmamma yams right now right now
[Verse 2]
I'm singing with pain
Bringing the passion
Speaking with love
You see in my actions
That I'm the change that I wanna see
Healing the world you'd think it was magic
I'm out here cleaning up all of the streets
Feeding the homeless bringing them castles
Stopping my brothers from killing each other
Got blood on they clothes but preach that they baptists
Cross on yo neck, but gun on yo waist
A hoe in yo lap, a drink in yo hand
That shit make me laugh
But I guess that's none of my business bigger things for me to handle
Getting my momma up outta that crib
She been there too long I think she should travel
Trying to unravel this mystery
Why do these niggas be satisfied eating campbells so
[Chorus]
I have got to be more
More than I am right now
See I'm just a mortal to you, unimportant I barely got fans right now
Becoming more of a man by the hour
I'm bringing the jams right now
I'm cooking with love and passion just like yo grandmamma yams yams yams
[Verse 3]
Throughout the years slowly I've grown
I'm doing things now I wish I had known
When I was a lad if I had the skills that I have now
We'd probably been loaded
That's in the past it wasn't my path guess we had to sink before we could float
Now I be flying to Cali and soon
I'ma move there and shoot I'ma get me a boat yuh
I'm making the craziest purchase yuh
They making my lady a birkin yuh
I'm buying the rights to the beatles new music and gifting that shit to an urchin
Moving around with a purpose
Changing the Earth you know that I do it in earnest
Living in luxury doesn't mean nothing
If I just sit back and watch as people hurting so
[Outro]
I have got to be more
More than I am right now
See I'm just a mortal to you, unimportant I barely got fans right now
Becoming more of a man by the hour
I'm bringing the jams right now
I'm cooking with love and passion like grandmamma yams
