[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz

[Chorus 1]
A perfect love story don't matter anyway that's all for the cameras
I can see the sun rising down through the middle of the concrete riding through the ghetto
You can see the love in the eyes of the kid that was lost and he turned to a rebel
Mama don't give up on me I'm a rebel
Mama don't give up on me I'ma get 'em

[Verse 1]
I was just a lil' bitty boy when you told me it would come back to haunt me when I turn to a man
I knew I should have listеned to you then, right then, right thеn, right then I couldn't understand (Couldn't understand)
Why you working long late nights on these shifts?
I thought having kids was a blessing and a gift
You crying every night make me wish was wasn't here
You crying every night make me wish was wasn't here

[Bridge]
Tears falling down, tears
Tears falling down, yeah

[Refrain]
Nobody but us, nobody but us
Nobody but us, nobody but us
[Verse 2]
I went through what I had to go through to get where I had to go to
I went the wrong direction, I do what I want, no lectures
We can do it for the culture
Baby, we can do it for the culture
Riding through the ghetto in the tour bus
I just want to show 'em where I came from
I just want to show 'em how I came up

[Chorus 2]
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit

[Refrain]
Nobody but us, nobody but us
Nobody but us, nobody but us

[Chorus 1]
A perfect love story don't matter anyway that's all for the cameras
I can see the sun rising down through the middle of the concrete riding through the ghetto
You can see the love in the eyes of the kid that was lost and he turned to a rebel
Mama don't give up on me I'm a rebel
Mama don't give up on me I'ma get 'em
[Chorus 2]
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit

[Bridge]
I went through what I had to go through to get where I had to go to
I went the wrong direction, I do what I want, no lectures
We can do it for the culture
Baby, we can do it for the culture
Riding through the ghetto in the tour bus
I just want to show 'em where I came from
I just want to show 'em how I came up

[Chorus 2]
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little inspiration
I just need a little bit
