Verse 1 (Lil Dre):
So, so, so I turned her TV on first thing I see
All the videos on B.E.T.
Trying tell me about how I should be,
All about getting that money.
Like if it aint makin a profit
Then we gots to drop it.
Cause aint nobody window shopping
Now we gots to rock it.
Show it all off in the night life
Stuntin in the clubs tryin to get in the limelight
Just give me the girls, cars, clothes
That's how we define successful right?
In God we trust on the back of the bill,
Makin’ me wonder how much of it’s real,
Makin’ it rain, filling our brain, flooding our soul with no gills.
And it’s so real
So now that’s just a status quo,
When it aint even bout my status though
but we don’t know cause we got a big EGO.
So tell me how we servin the cars that we swerv
or the mansions on MTV
Cribs, I did
But I know that now im his
So I give all I can give.
Like Fidel that’s why I live.
Awake me from this dream,
No Martin Luther King,
Remember where your heart at and sang.
Chorus (Denver Duncan):
Show me where your heart is.
Are you living the American dream?
Just show me where your heart is.
Is Christ there to fill in your needs?
You can buy cars, you can have keys,
To a mansion that’s cool with me,
Just show me where your heart is.
And I’ll show you where your treasure will be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 2 (Lil Dre):
Yeah. OK.
And even as a child,
I wanted simple things.
Thought I had simple dreams.
1 wife, 2 kids, 3 cars, 1 crib.
Maybe a couple dogs, green grass fenced in,
Just give me an Impala I aint gotta have a Benz.
Just meet me in the middle, I don’t need all the ends.
Real love by my kin, I don’t need all the friends.
I love all my fans, but this wasn’t my vision.
The show, it most go on, but I needed an intermission.
Still fishin’ but Christ added ingredients in the kitchen.
Gave it a new aroma, intensifing my senses.
Made me aware of others, keep my mind off myself.
Help the needs of my brothers, and put mine on the shelf.
Economically and spiritually people are hurting more,
Livin’ in reality and I ain’t talkin’ Jersey Shore.
It’s time for us to wake up,
And not to get the cake up,
Preparin’ every morning,
Remembering our makeup.
Chorus
Verse 3 (Denver Duncan):
I know, you think there some things that just don’t apply.
Why don’t, we get to get it all before we die?
We must become the ones that put the stars in the sky.
Give us the strength to fly.
I know, you think there some things that just don’t apply.
Why don’t we get to get it all before we die?
We must, recall the one that put the stars in the sky.
Give us the strength to fly.
To fly, to fly.
Chorus
