It used to be I didn't care
Never felt like I belonged
Wasn't going anywhere
Felt like I was being conned
Then one day I found this crowd
And suddenly I felt the fit
I moved up fast and did them proud
Now I don't have to feel like shit.
chorus:
Momma, if you could only see
Their eyes when they look at me
You'd know I found my destiny
And you'd be proud of me
(They look up to me)
I didn't know where it would lead
But now I'm leading 20 guys
I didn't think that I'd succeed
Wait! Before you criticize
I know it's not what you would choose
I know that it won't last too long
But I had nothin' left to lose
Don't tell me that you think it's wrong.
repeat chorus
If it bothers you, then change the name
To "party", or to "company"
It is really all the same
Whether club or clan or family.
One day I might hit the ground
But for now I'm gonna fly.
Won't give up this thing I've found.
Nothing's ever made me feel this high.
So for now I'll just stay right here.
I'll sit back and bide my time.
Hide the strain, forget the fear.
'Cause this is all I got that's mine.
repeat chorus
