Here We Are

[Intro] Oooh ooh Oooh ooh Oooh ooh Oooh ooh [Verse 1] (Uh) I'm back at it again Doing damage with a pad and a pen Expecting nothing less than a rating average of ten Here to break the standard trends and habits of man It's more savage than macho man Randy Savage's tan (ooh) Style so unique they don't know what to call it Get you on your feet standing up like a cowlick Cooked something to feed all you hip-hop-aholics I shine like my Addidas- all clean and polished Yeah, I graduated from college With a useless degree and some irrelevant knowledge and a Whole lot of loans that I'll only pay off If this so-called music career ever takes off I'm laid off 'til it's time to hit the grind Papermate to the Mead, yo I speak my mind I should be a shoe cleaner, I spit the shine Flip a beat make you shake 'til you twist your spine Now everybody want a piece of the B.Reith pie I sauté my beats so they don't taste dry Leave your mouth waterin' You savoring the flavor Stay fresh in case you were saving it for later [Hook] I've waited for so long to come this far I never thought the time would come But look now, here we are I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child I gave it all I had to give, mama look now aren't you proud? [Verse 2] Now I remember Back when I was a little boy Used to act like I was the real McCoy Star Wars lunch box with the Thermos too Transformers Trapper Keeper, bro, I thought you knew Had a crush on a girl plus she liked me too Held hands rollerskating-- that was all we'd do Cause that's all we knew Didn't even conversate Just sat next to her in math class and called it a date Pops had the Michael Jackson Thriller cassette tape So I popped it in the boombox and faked Like I was in the video, tryna dance all cool Wavin' my arms back and forth and actin' a fool So young and naive, no clue what was ahead of me But if I did, fear would have got the best of me Pressed on, stumbled and fell, got up repeatedly Onward and steadily on towards the heavenlies [Hook 2] I've waited for so long to come this far (waited so long) I never thought the time would come But look now, here we are (now here we are) I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child (ever since I was a child) I gave it all I had to give, father look now aren't you proud? [Bridge] (Woah…yeah…yeah…yeah) Some part inside wants to go back in time and be young again Free to dream further than the stars above Time must move on; though my childhood is gone, I can still love again Free to be the man that you made me [Outro] I've waited for so long to come this far (far) I never thought the time would come But look now, here we are (I-I)I've dreamed about this moment ever since I was a child (child) I gave it all I had to give give, oh oh mama look now aren't you proud?
