(Chorus)
They used to [Bb]tell me[F][C][Dm]
I [Bb]hope you learn to make it [F]on your own
And if you love your[C]self just know you'll never [Dm]be alone
I hope that you get [Bb]everything you want and [F]that you chose
I hope that it's the [C]realest thing that you [Dm]ever know
Hope you get the pretty [Bb]girls, that's pretty and [F]everything
Million dollar [C]cribs havin' million [Dm]dollar dreams
And when you get it [Bb]all just remem[F]ber one thing
Remember [C]one thing
That [Dm]one man could change the [Bb]world[F][C]
That [Dm]one man could change the [Bb]world[F][C][Dm]
(Verse I)
All I,
all I [Bb]wanted was a hundred [F]million dollars and a bad chick
I[C]magine this so much some [Dm]nights it felt like that I had it
Back [Bb]on the mattress
S[F]tarin' at the ceilin' tryna to connect the [C]dots
But its hard makin' [Dm]those attachments
I'm talkin' dreamin' [Bb]so hard, some nights it [F]felt like draft day
You know?[C] M[Dm]y -
my step brother used to [Bb]flip them bags out[F]side
the crib like it was trash day
[C] No Kim K, [Dm]but he bagged yay (Ye)
But when you're [Bb]getting fast money, [F]slow down, don't crash
With all the [C]drive in the world, [Dm]swear you still need gas
Look,[Bb] think about it,[F] close your eyes, dream about it
[C]Tell your team about it, [Dm]go make million dollar schemes about it
[Bb] Success is on the [F]way, I feel it in the distance
Used to [C]look up at the stars and [Dm]be like ain't too much that's different
I be [Bb]shinin', they be shinin', [F]get your one shot don't you miss it
What you [C]know bout' wakin' up eve[Dm]ryday like you on a mission?
(Chorus)
I [Bb]hope you learn to make it [F]on your own
And if you love your[C]self just know you'll never [Dm]be alone
I hope that you get [Bb]everything you want and [F]that you chose
I hope that it's the [C]realest thing that you [Dm]ever know
Hope you get the pretty [Bb]girls, that's pretty and [F]everything
Million dollar [C]cribs havin' million [Dm]dollar dreams
And when you get it [Bb]all just remem[F]ber one thing
Remember [C]one thing
That [Dm]one man could change the [Bb]world[F][C]
That [Dm]one man could change the [Bb]world[F][C][Dm]
(Verse II)
My grandma told me [Bb]if you write your name
in s[F]tone you'll never get the white out
I [C]grinded out that black [Dm]hole then performed up at the white house
Standin' [Bb]next to Jim Carrey, we [F]traded stories then laughed
I said you [C]not the only one I [Dm]know got rich wearin' masks
Where I'm [Bb]from I swear they broke, they [F]need way more than the cast
We need [C]more than what you have And [Dm]then we need more than that
But how am [Bb]I supposed to say I'm tired
[F]If that girl from West Virginia came up
[C]in conditions that I [Dm]couldn't survive
Went to war, came [Bb]back alive
On [F]top of that became a female black [C]captain
When being [Dm]black you had to extra extra try
[Bb]Way before James [F]Brown made us proud
She bought a crib [C]on the same street [Dm]as Marvin Gaye
Right there on Outer Drive,
[Bb]and she taught me how to [F]drive
And she raised the kids, then the [C]kids' kids, and she [Dm]did it right
Taught me how to love, [Bb]taught me not to cry
[F]When I die, I hope you teach me how to [C]fly
All my life you've [Dm]been that angel in disguise saying
(Chorus)
I [Bb]hope you learn to make it [F]on your own
And if you love your[C]self just know you'll never [Dm]be alone
I hope that you get [Bb]everything you want and [F]that you chose
I hope that it's the [C]realest thing that you [Dm]ever know
Hope you get the pretty [Bb]girls, that's pretty and [F]everything
Million dollar [C]cribs havin' million [Dm]dollar dreams
And when you get it [Bb]all just remem[F]ber one thing
