Fuck it / and that’s exactly what I told ‘em [Hook] This is who I am This is what I do I’ll never change for you This is from my heart and soul The past is done My life has just begun Best believe I’m gonna have my fun Livin’ it up to the maximum [Verse] First of all, M A X Doin’ what I do best Livin’ to the fullest If you can feel me, let me hear you shout I’ma keep on getting higher ‘til I hit the clouds Can’t nothing stop me My dreams are all that I see I know, haters gonna hate There’s only one thing I got to say Love (x5) All you need is love / love If you’re looking for me (look up) In the sky is where I’ll be Shining bright for you And everybody in the 562 [Hook] [Verse] See I’m too cool / for school I should start my own class First rule: fuck all them tests and papers Everybody take out your erasers Forget everything that you heard from the haters It’s all a big blur, what you talkin’ bout sir Hell naw, I won’t listen to you You see, I do what I want to Try to tell me otherwise it won’t do Nothin’ / I ain’t budgin’ Not even when the big bad wolf Comes through my door with his huffin’ and puffin’ We got one life to live / I’ma live my life So do your thing / stand up tall / and tell ‘em [Hook] ‘Kay, this one’s for free So you better get used to be Because I’m here to stay And I’m never ever ever gonna go away And if they don’t know You better let ‘em know

If you know the name of this song Let ‘em know, would you kindly If you know the words to this song Won’t you sing along with me Yeah, um / uh This ain’t some hardcore gangsta sway But believe me when I say, you gon’ like it anyway Open your heart to the back in the day Because there ain’t nothin’ wrong With a lil’ child’s play [Hook]
I’m still a kid / I’ll never grow up I may get big / bang theory blow up Just let me live / My own life my way I swear I’ll make it / simple as child’s play [Bridge] Jump, jump / spread your wings and Jump, jump / and you’ll fly Higher and higher and higher with Higher and higher and higher we’ll be [Verse] Never worried ‘bout what to do next Wasn’t always thinking ‘bout who I want to to sex I was just a kid, chillin, playin in the sand ‘Til my world turned cold, forced me to be a man Now I’m doing what I can To survive in this hive that we call life Always busy as a bee through the day and night All I want to do is celebrate my birthday right That’s all I really want / That’s all I really need That’s all I really have / That’s all I really see I ain’t ever giving up on my dreams It’s always gonna be for my family I know they think I’ma gonna stray but I ain’t ever ever ever going away so I may do what I may But I’ma be right here at the end of the day I’ll never forget where I came from I’ll never forget ‘bout my dad and mom I’ll never regret the things that I’ve done Because I’m here now / watch me have my fun [Hook] [Verse] The world today won’t turn my way But that’s just how I feel I’m searching for good fortune So of course I spin the wheel Embark with me on my journey To find my fantasies I will not stop until I’ve crossed All seven of the seas I’ll rise above to find my love And never let it go The glory is the story I will tell wen I am old Although I’m young I know the fun Will never ever end As long as I stay true to me And all my real friends I’ve got my own / I’ve got my home I’ve got my whole life / I keep my head high Nothing to prove / won’t explain nothing to you They can’t understand my brain They just think I’m playin’ games, ‘cause [Hook] [Bridge] Trust in me / trust in we Trust in child’s play / trust everything will be okay Whoa / yeah And that’s about it (x2)

When the sun goes down Go ahead and dim the lights Everybody getting pumped for that party tonight But not me, that ain’t where I want to be Honestly you do not see me I go through problems you will not believe And I got issues you cannot percieve So I won’t follow you to catastrophe I’ll just wait, close my eyes, and await my dream [Dream] Now that I’m asleep, everything’s according to me In my dreams it all seems money just ain’t a thing I can marry the most beautiful woman I ever seen I can have a million kids and still be just seventeen Yeah, my favorite part of the day Every single night I love to fly away Soaring higher and higher and higher Never wanna come down ‘Til I hear them call my name Now my heart beat quicker, as I fall even deeper [Nightmare] No, I begin to lose control And then I lose control No more, no more I look my fears straight in the face and tell ‘em You need to get the fuck out of my space I’m not scared of you, just leave me alone (x2) [Awake] Cold sweat, two tears / my fears are clear ‘Cause I’m back to reality / before another casualty Keep it in your fantasy / see how real I can be Yeah, just hold it down / Nothing lost then nothing found It’s two A.M. / nowhere to go Except back to the place where my brain can flow Into the sky, where I’ll stay this time I hope it’s fine, in a hopeless mind [Dream] And it seems okay, don’t be afraid Just take me back to place I’ll stay for the rest of my days In my head, it was said That the water would be red, and the children would be sad Not now / not here (x2) Until I here it again

And why you dress like that? And why you sag your pants? And why you tip your hat? Now what you wanna know? Who do you think you is? Because I fuckin’ can / now what the problem is I got my tinted shades, my shiny watch I got my pants down low, won’t tone it down a notch I got my mama stressed, my ladies all impressed The haters can’t say jack, ‘cause they be jockin’ how I dress! Now I won’t be what you want me to be You see I’m free, you see I’m me M A X, who I want to be [Hook] And if you don’t like it, baby I said if you don’t like it, baby Well you can go ahead and leave, girl Said you can turn around and leave, girl To all the homies doin’ your thing Go on and keep on doing your thing And if the haters talkin’ bout you You must be doing something right Just do your do

Okay, okay, okay, let’s go! Now have you ever had a dream You know the way it makes you feel But when you let ‘em know They tell your ass to get real What some poor support to give Guess they all forgot what it means to live To follow your heart, and chase your dreams I’d rather reach for the stars, than live life on my knees So I’ma be what I want to be And I’ma live a better life According to me [Hook] I know I think I can (x2) You know I think I can, baby I know I think I can / you know what? I know I know I can You know I know I can I know I know I can [Verse] I can see it know: M A X shining right over there In front of forty-billion people with they’re hands in the air They drove a million miles just to hear me say: yeah And then they keep coming back ‘Cause they love my CD And every single day they watch me on Max TV And go on Youtube with a million views of A single video where I smile all cute Because all the ladies love me They just love to hear me talk And they just love to watch me walk And they just love it how I rock And after every single show Even though she is really tipsy I do treat her like a lady as she jump in my mercedes Take a deep breath as I dive into the water Of the billion dollar beach that I had just bought just for my brother I ain’t even got a brother, he is just like every other Who has asked me for some money, so I gave him more than plenty Oh yeah, and it’s up to me Everything I ever wanted, man / I got three The lady from the bank don’t even need ID She just handed me my check, say infinity And I’m livin’ it good To the M A X, wouldn’t stop if I could I’ma keep on going when I pass Hollywood Doing what I want, man / like I should [Hook] But on the real though It ain’t about the cash / it ain’t about the ass It’s not about the fame and moving up a higher class It’s all about the effect I have on this world And if I can make a change, maybe I can get the girl in the end Don’t matter much to me As long as I got love and my family Then I’ma keep on riding like this ride is free You wanna ride along? Stick with me I’m on a magic carpet ride / watch me fly I ain’t comin’ down until I got mine The cave of wonders is open wide So let us jump inside I know I know I can You know you know you can So what you doing, man? Everything’s going as planned I swear to you, if you just believe Then I know you will see You know this, man

She went away for a while Some reason I couldn’t smile I never thought she could affect me like this But I guess there was something I missed Then I saw her again / and I knew it right then That I wanted to be more than friends So I told her, and here’s what I said Whoa, feel how my heart beats / for you, baby You know I want you If you want me, just let me know Baby, it’s always been you I couldn’t see it, but now I know You know she said she wants me But it’s too late, she’s got to go [Hook] Now she’s leaving for a while Back in the day, used to kick it all the time How was I supposed to know she would leave me behind So now I just tell myself, if only I could rewind I wouldn’t have waited so long To make her all mine So before she left I gave her something she won’t ever soon forget The thing that she make pound up inside my chest My heart, my heart, and my soul Forever bound to hers Connections that we got ain’t described in words The feelings that she give I can’t get from herbs So high (x2) / in love (x4) With her (x2) / just her, only But ever since she’s been gone I ain’t been feeling so strong It’s getting hard to go on / solo [Hook] Now she’s been gone for a while And then I saw her again And I knew it right then That she looked even more beautiful Than the last time that I saw her Baby, come with me You know I picked up the keys To do whatever you please Now she was gone for a while But it was only a while You know she makes me smile

Sit here sad Yeah right, I’ma keep it glad Doin’ what I do just like I planned They ain’t ever gonna bring me down If they don’t wanna kick it / man, fuck this town I’m on my way to Los Angeles The place where the lights shine brighter than this La la la la (x4) [Verse] Hey, look at this kid, check what he did Make a mess big, spread it out quick Cookin’ up quick, takes notes Sit in the front of the class ‘Cause Mister Max goes way too fast Kiss on my ass as I flash past / out of track Little outcast with a swagger on blast How you like that? What you thinkin’ flap-jack When you rip it like Max, you can come around back M A X is more than good Even Tony told me that if he would he would Be me / but it ain’t that easy To make it like G R E A T You need a mic check that’ll make ‘em flip Just like a on two three-sixtys The rest is up to / your sound Verses pounded out on Another late night with a pencil, write Take your top off, get your pops hot / party rock ‘Til the moon drop, freaky chickies don’t stop When I hit top, they gon’ be like “wussup” Sayin’ the same shit, but I’ll be like “what?” La la la la (x4) I don’t need you / I got my thing I’m on my grind / wussup with you? [Hook] Oh, is that so? Well you ought’a know I don’t need you / I got my thing I’m on my grind / wussup with you? La la la la (x4)
