He said, “I wanna be somebody.”
He said, “I wanna be someone.”
She said, “Hey, you know there’s nothing
that I wouldn’t do for you…

But I know there’s only so much time and inspiration
that could be left in your lifetime
and in the world.
Cause you’ve got too many dreams.
And I love you too much it seems
to ever let you leave out of my reality”.

He said, “Girl, I’ve never been the one to hold you down.
There’s not enough of me to go around
in the eyes of the discontent who’ve misconnected with intent.
Who only wanna tie their ropes around my mind,
and conform my time.
Because there’s nothing left that they’ve known.”

She said, “Hey, your blood is on your hands.
With nothing in mine left to clean it off.”

She said, “I’m tired of bringing it all
when you’ve got none to bring.”

I said, “I just wanna be something more
than just a homecoming king.”
