| I was sitting at the corner
|
| Staring at a dollar
|
| When a guy asked me a question
|
| «D'you wish to never to be alone,
|
| Never to be broke,
|
| Always to be right?»
|
| So I stood on my feet for just a second
|
| I took a good look at him
|
| And then I said, «Ya know, man»
|
| I said, «I'm still gonna be alone
|
| Still gonna be broke
|
| But I know that I’ll be alright»
|
| 'Cause I remember when my dad said «Son,
|
| This life isn’t owed to you
|
| A million things could go wrong for you
|
| But at least you got your freedom»
|
| He said, «One day you will be all grown up
|
| And I will be older too
|
| And you can do whatchu wanna do
|
| Just remember where you came from
|
| And your life could be a kingdom»
|
| And your life could be a kingdom
|
| I was sipping from a bottle
|
| Thinking 'bout tomorrow
|
| When I asked myself a question
|
| «Will I always be alone,
|
| Always be broke,
|
| Never gon' be right?»
|
| But I remember, when the kids
|
| They used to tease me 'bout my life
|
| And my momma, she would say
|
| When I got home from school that night
|
| «If you ever feel alone
|
| Ever feel broke
|
| Know you’ll be alright»
|
| 'Cause you remember when your dad said «Son,
|
| This life isn’t owed to you
|
| A million things could go wrong for you
|
| But at least you got your freedom»
|
| He said, «One day you will be all grown up
|
| And I will be older too
|
| And you can do whatchu wanna do
|
| Just remember where you came from
|
| And your life could be a kingdom»
|
| And your life could be a kingdom
|
| Yeah just remember when you came from
|
| And your life could be a kingdom |
