I’mma keep it cool, and I’mma do me 
It is what it is and that’s how it’s gon’ be 
Until I get there 
Until I get there 
And yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect 
But all the ups and downs, will soon be worth it 
When I get there 
When I get there

And when I finally make it I’mma stunt so hard 
Evil as Knievel I’mma jump so far 
Way up in the atmosphere, I ain’t coming back 
Be a jerk to them jerks yeah, that’ll make ‘em hurt 
Huh? Said a young boy in the mirror 
A young version of me, so I started to tear up 
He said you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up 
You’re already here, just be yourself from here up 
And then he disappeared and I felt something familiar 
Something I was taught, something I had lost 
If you are afraid, or fear that you gon’ change some 
All you gotta do is just remember where you came from
