lirik lagu j-formz - what do you want to be?

[intro: alan watts sample]
if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time…you’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is: to go on doing things you don’t like doing; which is stupid…better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way…

[verse 1: j~formz]
you asked me 30 years ago what i wanted to be
i would’ve said some dumb sh~t son, astonishingly
like: “maybe mike tyson, or like a famous rapper
the greatest hockey player ever”, it all came with laughter
it’s not the goals that i’m laughin at along with them
it’s my perspective, thinkin: “what the f~ck was wrong with him!?”
but i’ve changed, and now i got a different view on the world
the only thing i wanna be’s a good father to my girls
i swear, time to put the fam before my pride
be who my girls deserve and push formz to the side
cause truth be told: i’m just a leaf on the tree of life
but i don’t wanna just be a dad, i wanna be it right
i’m tryin to be more stoic in my approach
and even though i’m still the same height, i’ve had so much growth
as i’ve gone through life, my memories are a lesson
i gave all the wrong answers to the wrong question:
“yo, what you wanna be!?”

[chorus: j~formz & amy]
j~formz:
my amy girl! what do you wanna be when you get older?
amy:
well, i wanna have my own dance studio and i wanna have like, an at home salon…
j~formz:
ok! but whatever it is that you do, just make sure that you’re happy with yourself and your life and you be you, cause you’re an awesome person, ok?
amy:
ok!
verse 2:
does smilin make you happy? or bein happy makes you smile?
understandin different views to see could take a while
but if it ain’t in me, how could it be from me!?
that’s like askin me when i just lost my wallet for money
you tryina scrounge up change, it could be bunny ears
but ill find it in me, even if it takes 20 years
is 20 bucks really all a whole hours costs?
that’s why i got no job, but still work my ass off
i do it for the fam, and sometimes, life is hard
but when it’s all said and done i hope i did a good job
there’s been many paths, at times, i lost my way
but i always returned home any time that i strayed
but may say somethin contradictory in my verses
cause who i am and who i wanna be are not the same person
so if what i wanna be is what you’re askin me?
i just wanna master peace while i paint a masterpiece
but what you wanna be?

[chorus: j~formz & lilly]
j~formz:
my little lilly girl! i just wanted to ask you: what do you wanna be when you get older?
lilly:
umm, i want to be…i want to do, like hair and make up and like…and i wanna own a dance studio!
j~formz:
ok, that’s cool! so when you get older, you should wanna be happy…you should wanna be you, and you should want to feel satisfied with your life…ok?
lilly:
ok!
outro:
people always accuse me bro of bein lazy or: “bro, you’re waiting for an alley~oop that’s never gonna come…” you know what i mean?…oh well…

chuckie:
hahaha!

j~formz:
you know what i’m sayin? and that’s my honest opinion bro cause here’s the thing: so if you’re over there, doin alley~oops with your boy and i walk into the gym, right? if i’m one of the greatest dunkers of all time and i know this, but you have no idea who i am, right? and i walk in there and i’m like: “yo! toss me one!” you know what i’m sayin? and you’re like: “f~ck out of here bro, go get your own ball!” i don’t, i don’t care bro…i’m not gonna fight with you over the ball…

chuckie:
right

j~formz:
cause here’s the thing bro: if i’m not tall enough to reach the rim or i can’t dunk, the alley~oop is useless…

chuckie:
hahahaha!

j~formz:
right?

chuckie:
right

j~formz:
there’s no point in an alley~oop if i can’t reach the hoop…but if i’m an amazing dunker, and you’re never gonna know unless you throw me that ball (cause i’m not gonna fight with you over the ball), listen bro, don’t…i don’t know what to tell you…i’m just tellin you: yo…toss one up, i’ll bang one down, i’ll give you your ball back, whatever, right?…if you won’t throw it to me, you won’t throw it to me…i don’t mean to sound like a cornball but it’s your loss, you know what i’m sayin? you’re not gonna see what happens, you’re not gonna get to see my dunk, and you can go on right about your day…that doesn’t make you a better dunker than me…
