(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Verse 1 - The Blue)
I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wyclef and Lauryn Hill
Couldn't understand a word like foreign films
All I know is at 9, I adored them still
Made a run at the hill
This ain't your run of the mill
Like forest gump, I'm running still
Sleepless nights in hopes of making this real
What's it cost to be great, tell me, I'll pay the bill
I've wanted this far back as I can remember
A flame rose up out of an ember
Dreams of joining all the greats as a member
But no one believed I'd become a contender
I studied these albums, The Blueprint to Stale
Could feel every word like it's written in braille
No doubt in my mind, it's a matter of time
Remember the name as I climb
(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Verse 2 - The Blue)
I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wayne on Tha Carter III
I knew that the music was calling me
I'm destined for greatness, I got to be
First time I listened to ye
Had graduation just spinning all day
Track after track, I was racking my brain
Like how did he get it all sounding that way, going insane
Fifteen when I heard blue slide park
Miller had me believing I could make my mark
He was nineteen, living my dream
Just reminds me that life is short
So I'm taking it all in day by day
If you ain't been with it, then out my way
I don't know what else I could really say
Like this is just destiny, say my name./.
(Chorus - The Blue)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
(Outro)
I wanted this right from the jump
Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump
The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights
I wanted this all my life
They said get your head out the clouds
I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd
Hopping the globe, different country tonight
I wanted this all my life
