[Chorus: A$AP Ferg] You can be you today, you can be you tonight Know you're feelin' really great, it's gon' be alright I can see it in your face and I know you wanna fly So get off your ass and create your life [Post-Chorus: A$AP Ferg] 'Cause you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missin' opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, oh [Verse 1: A$AP Ferg] Workin' in Ben & Jerry's, it was scary My life vision was blurry You got talent, why's you here?
