How you gonna say what you can and can't do,
Sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube
You're mad at the world like she owe you,
What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?

Not a damn thing changed
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game
You're flossing again,
You talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water
The world could be yours if you want her,
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning

Everyday you're out slinging that thing
No worries or cares of what your mama may say
Trying to get what you want in your life
The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice

Not a damn thing changed
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game
You're flossing again,
You talk a good game,

But you're still struggling hard to maintain
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no
The world could be yours if you want her,
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it

When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water
The world could be yours if you want her,
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it

When you get it, keep winning
Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try
All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky
All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled

Time is moving rapidly
Don't let it pass you by, yeah
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)

But you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, no,
A ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water

The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no

The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it
When you get it, keep winning
Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water
