Lymelight
from the "Meaning Of Go" CD available at www.tonywhoa.com
We made it yall
To the future
No flying cars no change at all
Mama still wants
Baby boy to sing
Daddy says he should play ball
Living Vicariously
Through their youngling
Still trying to make that million
Same dreams they had
Since they we're both kids
Now passing it to their children
Which isn't the real problem
Cause they want him
To have a better life than they have
Which is what parents are
Supposed to do so on the real
you can't Be mad
But its easier for you
To get a medical degree
Than it is for you
To play NBA ball
But every one wants their
Money quick
light speed
Or nothing at all
Can you dig it
I met a lil girl
Who wants to model
She likes Watching
Runway Shows
She says she wants
To be the next Tyra Banks
Even though agencies keep
Telling her no
I tried to tell her maybe
Its not meant to happen
Maybe you were built
for something else
She went home
To build her case
And came back the next day
Prepared to deliberate
She went on the defence
For all lil girls
The ones who
ever had a dream
I was so impressed
With her argument
I really couldn't
say anything
For once in my life
Somebody shut me up
I’m thinking I need her
to be on my team
so what I did say is
When you get out of law school
Girl You need to contact me
Can you Dig it
The streets are filled
With millions of kids
Who dreamed of wearing
So many different hats
Doctors and lawyers
Even presidents
Now days
they all want to rap
You would say the
Devils best trick
Was making the world
Think he doesn't exist
I think having everybody
Thinking they can be the next JayZ
Knocks that one out of position
He's got these kids dropping
Out o school
Trying to be
The next big hip hop star
Not realizing its a formula
That leads to distraction
Designed to keep you where
You are
If every body is rapping
Who are the judges
Who are the lawyers
Who are protecting these streets
Maybe the reason
there is no cure for cancer
Is because DJ Oncologist
Is mixing beats, dig it
