[Chorus by Big Sean]
They used to tell me, used to tell me
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty at everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world
That one man could change the world
[Verse 1]
Never thought that I could make it, but your love it picks me up
Thought that happiness was bottles, gettin high to fix me up
Thought that sad and lonely nights, laying in my bed awake
Staring at the ceiling tell myself that love is only fake
What was fake, what I told myself, you'll never find a place
But that place, in your arms, my head next to your face
And you whispered that you loved me, said I made you feel complete
And I felt it too but couldn't keep me up on my own feet
Panic times, lonely feelin, I just couldn't get a grip
Any time i'd see improvement, next step would be a slip
Damn I slipped, almost lost you, how I made you f***** feel
How I selfishly thought I knew what I wanted, wasn't real
What was real is what I had with you, why didn't I just call
Was afraid of any feelings, I wanted to be small
Thank the heavens cuz you stayed and look past every flaw
And you showed me in the mirror what I see is what you saw
[Chorus by Kanye West]
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty at everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world
That one man could change the world
[Verse 2]
Rough beginning but I promised I would leave it in the past
Told you I would answer anything as long as you just asked
Made mistakes, almost blew it, then you blew it damn I came
Had to prove to you I wanted more than just your body frame
Loved you deep inside I knew it, felt it, how could I express
Knew you were the one for me, still surprised when you said yes
Fireworks, oh the happiness was easier than breathing
Every day I fall in love again, like living felt like dreaming
And I pinch myself and I would still be lying next to you
Check the clock, 4:02, but we didn't have a clue
Always talking laughing staring at our eyes like what is time
All I knew about the hours is I wanted you in mine
Cross your arms as you're taking off your shirt, make me smile
And you throw it on the top of all our clothes in a pile
Twin bed made for one but we always fit together
I could tell you how I love but there's not enough letters
[Chorus by John Legend]
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty at everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world
That one man could change the world
