Verse 1:
All I ever wanted was to be a little better than the next man
Do the best that I can
Elevate the plan,
you know?
And all I ever wanted was to have more than dimes in my pocket
When I try to rock it
I got to have that dough,
you know?
Chorus:
You gotta be better baby, gotta be clever baby
Got to have it all together baby
If you wanna get there
Verse 2:
I thought it might be nice
if I could find a love to fall in like the poets
Boy they really know it
When their heart's stripped bare,
you know?
I thought it might be nice
if I could make a better world for my mother
Boy I really love her
She's always been right there,
you know?
Chorus:
Bridge:
And it ain't easy
it ain't easy
it ain't easy but believe me
that it's good to be real
And it ain't easy
it ain't easy
it ain't easy y'all must heed me
that it's nice to be here
Verse 1:
All I ever wanted was to set a golden standard for the next man
Do the best that I can
Elevate the plan,
you know?
And all I ever wanted was to have more than holes in my pocket
When Nicole is rockin'
I gots to have my flow,
you know?
