The Life

It was all a dream
I used to plan, plot, and scheme
For the girls with the Reeboks and Guess jeans
They like the dudes with the beepers and gold chains
I like the girls with the lip gloss and long braids, yeah
Thought I was cool, LL Cool J
I want the Puff
Y videos with the fisheye frame
I want the Coogi sweater like Big and Ma$e

I can see my name in lights
I want the life
Yeah I'ma be a star, I'ma keep on burning bright
I want the life
Yeah, I'ma go far, got the whole world in my sight, yeah
I want the life
Driving fast cars with a cute girl on the side, ooh
I want the life
I want the life, the life is mine

They say the grass ain't greener but I'm thinking of the other side
Visions of mansions, beamers, money clips, room service when I like

I want the baddest video girls
Just like Jodeci
Make sure they look like Aaliyah
I'ma bring 'em in like Usher, all the time
This life is mine
I want everyone knowing me
I'ma be worldwide
Face on Billboard signs, yeah that's me
Famous and wealthy

I can see my name in lights
I want the life
Yeah I'ma be a star, I'ma keep on burning bright
I want the life
Yeah, I'ma go far, got the whole world in my sight, yeah
I want the life
Driving fast cars with a cute girl on the side, ooh
I want the life
I want the life, the life is mine

I know it won't be easy but I know at least I gotta try, oh try, oh try
MTV & BET, want them Grammy's, Billboard charts top five
Select an area to comment on

I want the baddest video girls
Just like Jodeci
Make sure they look like Aaliyah
I'ma bring 'em in like Usher, all the time
This life is mine
I want everyone knowing me
I'ma be worldwide
Face on Billboard signs, yeah that's me
Famous and wealthy

I can see my name in lights
I want the life
Yeah I'ma be a star, I'ma keep on burning bright
I want the life
Yeah, I'ma go far, got the whole world in my sight, yeah
I want the life
Driving fast cars with a cute girl on the side, ooh
I want the life
I want the life, the life is mine

It was all a dream
I used to plan plot and scheme
For the girls with the Reeboks and Guess jeans
They like the dudes with the beepers and gold chains
I like the girls with the lip gloss and long braids, yeah
Thought I was cool, LL Cool J
I want the Puff
My videos with the fish eyes frame
I want the Coogi sweater like Big and Ma$e
When it's all said and done I'll be one of the greats yeah

I can see my name in lights
I want the life
Yeah I'ma be a star, I'ma keep on burning bright
I want the life
Yeah, I'ma go far, got the whole world in my sight, yeah,
I want the life
Driving fast cars with a cute girl on the side, ooh
I want the life
I want the life, the life is mine
I want the life
I want the life
Thought I was cool, LL Cool J
I want the Puff
My videos with the fish eyes frame
I want the Coogi sweater like Big and Ma$e...
When it's all said and done I'll be one of the greats yeah
