Strive (feat. Missy Elliott)

Lyrics for Strive (feat. Missy Elliott)

You can be you today You can be you tonight Know you're feeling really great It's gong be alright I can see it in your face And I know you wanna fly So get off your ass And create your life Cause you're missing opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missing opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, oh Working in Ben & Jerry's, it was scary My life vision was blurry You got talent, why's you here? I'm thinking, yeah, plus I am getting a belly I remember mama screaming You ain't gon be like your uncle Terry Uncle Terry on the corner selling rocks He don't care what you tell him He a hustler, bad muddastrudda Riding in a brand new Lex when he pull up He got a hood bitch from the block in the winter He pull up on her like, Baby give me sugar, mane Man I wish I shoulda, coulda, woulda Woulda put a hurting on her if I hit her with the wood up She got me dreaming When I get outta the hood, I'm a get me something better Cause you're missing opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities And you're missing opportunities I know you're rich in opportunities Oh, oh, In VA, where I stay They don't play, they'll tell you that to your face Collard greens, candied yams, potato salad Before you grub, better say your grace Auntie Jean was kinda mean, but she had dreams She used to sing like Tina Turner She said, Bring my wig and bring my dress My high heel shoes from a Sunday morning service She said, I'll show y'all beginners I'll still whoop that ass with a switch and a splinter Pray for these tramps running round like a sinner Missy wanna be a star? Well tell her she's a winner Ayeeee, she a bad lil sumn Love how she dance like Michael Jackson Told me I would be number one Just be yourself, don't be nothing like them
