So Ambitious

Shawn Carter, Pharrell Williams

Yeah three in the morning on the Westside highway, top down baby
Fuck y'all
The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be
Oh well

This a special dedication, (thank y'all)
I wanna thank you for the fuel
No really thank you

(Y'all better hear this shit)
I felt so inspired by what my teacher said
Said I'd either be dead or be a reefer head
Now sure if that's how adults should speak to kids
Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class
I teach his ass
Even betters what my uncle did

I pop my demo tape in, start to beat my head
Peaked out my eye, see if he was beating his
He might as well say beat it kid, he's on the list
Its like I'm searching for kicks like a sneaker head
He goin' keep pushing me until I reach the ledge
And when I reach the ledge I'll tell em all to eat a dick
Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread
Spread spread spread

The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be
Oh well (hey, hey)
I'm so ambitious (hey)
I might hit two sisters
Hey I'm on a mission
No matter what the conditions
Forget personal issues
When you been what I been through
Hey if you believe it
Then you could conceive it

Yeah yeah yeah

I had to lace up my boots even harder
Father is too far away to father
Further-more are the kids either smoke reefer
Or either move white, there's few writers in my cipher
So they made lighter, my type a dreams seem dumb
They said wise up, how many guys a
You see making it from here
The world don't like us
Is that not clear, alright, but
I'm different, I can't base what I'm gonna be off a what everybody isn't
They don't listen
Just whispering behind my back
No vision, lack of ambition
So wack

The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be
Oh well (hey, hey)
I'm so ambitious (hey)
I might hit two sisters
Hey I'm on a mission
No matter what the conditions
Forget personal issues
When you been what I been through
Hey if you believe it
Then you could conceive it

Had a couple of meetings no offers yet
Maybe I ain't good enough for these offices
Back to the drawing board ducking officers
It's all good cause the streets is A and R'in this
So with or without any of y'all involvement
We coming for all of this, respect my conglomerate
I went from pauper to the President
Cause every deal I ever made set precedent
Niggas probably thought I'd fall without old buddy
Oh buddy, what I do is make more money
Dear teacher, your probably somewhere near a speaker
I'm balling outta control, can you hear my sneakers
Fuck y'all

The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be
Oh well (hey, hey)
I'm so ambitious (hey)
I might hit two sisters
Hey I'm on a mission
No matter what the conditions
Forget personal issues
When you been what I been through
Hey if you believe it
Then you could conceive it

The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be
