One Man Can Change the World
[Intro: Big Sean]They used to tell me, used to tell me
[Hook: Big Sean]I hope you learn to make it on your ownAnd if you love yourself just know you'll never be aloneI hope that you get everything you want and that you choseI hope that it's the realest thing that you ever knowHope you get the pretty girls that's pretty at everythingMillion dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreamsAnd when you get it all just remember one thingRemember one thing, that one man could change the worldThat one man could change the world
[Verse 1: Big Sean]All I, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chickImagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had itBack on the mattress, starin' at the ceilin' tryna connect the dotsBut its hard makin' those attachmentsI'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft dayYou know? My - my step brother used to flip them bagsOutside the crib like it was trash dayNo Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye)But when you're gettin' fast money, slow down, don't crashWith all the drive in the world, swear you still need gasLook, think about it, close your eyes, dream about itTell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about itSuccess is on the way, I feel it in the distanceUsed to look up at the stars and be like ain't too much that's differentI be shinin', they be shinin', get your one shot don't you miss itWhat you know bout' wakin' up everyday like you on a mission?
[Hook: Kanye West]And I hope you learn to make it on your ownAnd if you love yourself just know you'll never be aloneI hope that you get everything you want and that you choseI hope that it's the realest thing that you ever knowHope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everythingMillion dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreamsAnd when you get it all just remember one thingRemember one thing, one man could change the worldOne man could change the world
[Verse 2: Big Sean]My grandma told me, "If you write your name in stone you'll never get the white out"I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the White HouseStandin' next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughedI said you not the only one I know got rich wearin' masksWhere I'm from I swear they broke, they need way more than the castWe need more than what you haveAnd then we need more than thatBut how am I supposed to say I'm tiredIf that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't surviveWent to war, came back alive?On top of that became a female black captainWhen being black you had to extra-extra tryWay before James Brown made us proudShe bought a crib on the same street as Marvin GayeRight there on Outer Drive, and she taught me how to driveAnd she raised the kids, then the kids' kids, and she did it rightTaught me how to love, taught me not to cryWhen I die, I hope you teach me how to flyAll my life you've been that angel in disguise sayin'...
[Hook: John Legend]I hope you learn to make it on your ownAnd if you love yourself just know you'll never be aloneI hope that you get everything you want and that you choseI hope that it's the realest thing that you ever knowHope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everythingMillion dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreamsAnd when you get it all just remember one thingRemember one thing, that one man can change the worldThat one man can change the world
