How you gonna say what you can and can't do 
Sittin' in the crib, parked infront of the tube, 
You're mad at the world, like she owe you 
What you think, opportunity's gonna come lookin' for you 
Not a damn thing changed 
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game 
Your flossing again, you talk a good game, 
But you're still trying hard to maintain 

(Chorus:)
Little brother 
A ship can't sail without the water 
The world could be yours if you want her 
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it, 
When you get it, keep winning 

Everyday you're out slinging that thing 
No worries or cares of what your mama may say 
Tryin to get what you want in your life 
The cars, the clothes, the ho's, the ice 
Not a damn thing changed, 
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game 
You're flossing again 
You talk a good game 
But your still strugglin' hard to maintain 

(Chorus)

Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try 
All the troubles that you feel will fade away 
like shooting stars across the sky 
All the dreams that I hope you feel 
Soon someday shall be fulfilled 
Time is moving rapidly 
Don't let it pass you by 

(Chorus)

Back in the days our parents used to take care of us 
Look at 'em now 
They even look scared of us 

(Chorus)
