Control Lyrics

I look up
Yeah and I take my time
I'mma take my time, woah
Power moves only

Boy I'm 'bout my business on business
I drink liquor on liquor
I had women on women
Yeah that's bunk bed bitches
I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin'
Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin'
But this for the girls that barely let me get to first base
On some ground ball shit
Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit
They prayin' on my motherfuckin' downfall bitch like a drought but
You gon' get this rain like it's May weather
G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
Champagne just tastes better
They told me I never boy, never say never
Swear flow special like an infant's first steps
I got paid to reverse debts
Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
So I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried
Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
In my mind, but fuck tryin' and not doin'
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
I said fuck tryin' and not doin'
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
I grew up to Em, B.I.G., and Pac bitch, and got ruined
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid
I can't motherfuckin' stop movin'
Go against me, you won't stop losin'
From the city where every month is May-
Day at home, spray your dome
Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
Yeah I know that shit ain't fair
They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor
You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
I knew that the world was for the taking and it wouldn't take long
We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody
Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
I'm so fuckin' first class I could spit up on every pilot
The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic
And I'm over niggas sayin' they're the hottest niggas
Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot
I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop
Drop fire, and not because I'm name droppin'
Hall of Fame droppin'
And I ain't takin' shit from nobody unless they're OG's
Cause that ain't the way of an OG
So I GO collect more G's, every dollar
Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me
Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats
Clique so deep we take up the whole street
I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don

Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds
Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize
I'm not gonna fold or demise
(I don't smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!)
Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
Don't pop me no fucking pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this

Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit
So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam in this shit
So many bombs, make Farrakhan think Saddam in this bitch
One at a time, I line 'em up and bomb on they mom
While she watchin' the kids
I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable
Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts
Gobble dick up 'til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt
This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch
I've seen niggas transform like villain Decepticons
Mollies'll prolly turn these niggas to fuckin' Lindsay Lohan
A bunch of rich ass white girls lookin' for parties
Playin with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give 'em the car key
Judgement to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney
You called me a black Beatle, I'm either that or a Marley
(I don't smoke crack motherfucker I sell it)
I'm dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis
I'm aimin' straight for your pelvis, you can't stomach me
You plan on stumpin' me? Bitch I’ve been jumped before you put a gun on me
Bitch I put one on yours, I'm Sean Connery
James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me
And I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake
I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
White T’s and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive
Out the exit window of 5 G5’s with 5 grand
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck tryna land
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread

You could check my name on the books
I Earth, Wind, and Fire’d the verse, then rained on the hook
The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
The tale of magnificent king who came from the nooks
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
We live by every single word she ever told us
Watch over your shoulders
And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova
I’m spittin' this shit for closure
And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
For all you magicians that’s fidgeting with the cobra
I’m silent as a rock, ‘cause I came from a rock
That’s why I came with a rock, then signed my name on the Roc
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
And the tissue is like an angel kissin' you in the dark
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
Right, to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries
In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
You can’t say shit to me, Alhamdulillah
It’s strictly by faith that we made it this far

Control

This No I.D. seven-minute track starts off with Sean talking about his home city, family, and relationships. Kendrick Lamar takes no prisoners on his middle verse, before Jay Electronica anchors the cut. Sean described it as: "Straight rap... I'm talking 7min s--t... Grimey s--t."

Kendrick Lamar's 64-bar rap blew up the internet, upstaging the other two rappers in the process:

"I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high."

Lamar's challenge to Hip-Hop's big guns to raise their game and top him caused a stir not only among fans, but other rappers as well with many responding with their own rhymes.

The song is a leftover track originally recorded for Sean's Hall of Fame record. It didn't make the album due to a sampling issue stemming from No I.D.'s beat, so was released online for free.

Jay Electronica told Revolt TV that he wasn't bothered by being eclipsed by Lamar's verse. "I like the song and the stir it's causing," he said. "It's good for rap music."

Jay Elec added that he only found out that Kendrick also had a verse just days before the track was released online. "A month or two ago, Big Sean asked me to be on this record with him for his album. He had a demo hook on it at the time. I did my verse and sent it back," Jay explained. "I found out a couple days before it was released that Kendrick had put a verse on it."

Some fans speculated that Big Sean switched his bars to match Kendrick's verse, but the Detroit MC told Vibe magazine that he did no such thing. "I started the song, I laid my verse first. I sent it to Kendrick and Jay Elec too. And then Kendrick sent that verse back... So when I heard it I was kind of like cracking up," said Sean. "When I heard that verse I was like, 'Man I'm not about to go back and change my verse — that's cheating."

Sean speaks about the problems of his home city when he raps: "They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor." He explained on the Rap Genius website: "Detroit's the only city where the government had to come and take control of the mayors responsibilities. so officially there's no mayor… technically. Detroit is 15.8 billion dollars in debt and people are literally giving up on the city. i feel nobody is talking about this type s--t in rap. I hear it on CNN but half the people i know don't even watch CNN."

Lamar said in a call with the radio station Power 106 that his boastful explosive verse, in which he called himself the king of New York, had been misunderstood. "I didn't know there would be so much speculation, I just want to rap," he said.

"I think it's a case of maybe I should dumb down my lyrics just a little bit," Lamar added. "The irony of that line is that the people who actually understood it and got it were the actual kings of New York, you know, me sitting down with them this past week, and them understanding, it's not actually about being the king of whatever coast, it's about leaving a mark as great as Biggie, as great as Pac."

Speaking with Vibe magazine, Jay Electronica revealed that he wanted the song for his debut album. "It was me and Big Sean, we had verses on there," he said. "And then when he told me it wasn't on his album, I was going to use it for my album. And then he told me the day before it came out that, 'yo, Kendrick put a verse on it, we're gonna put it out.' It's a good thing for hip-hop music because hip-hop has being laying dormant for a long time."

Beware Lyrics

When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should Beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart

Praying to a sky all black
Looking at the stars like they finna talk back
Looking at my phone like she finna call back
But last night I feel like probably ended all that
Cause by now she woulda sent a text in all caps
Then another one tryna take all back
Saying fuck you, I miss you or I hate you so much
Cause girls only say "hate you" to the guys they love
I know, I know, I know
The highs, the lows it comes and goes
You say "be real" I try, I don't
Cause you take anything and just make it everything
Kept my phone on silent ever since you got a ring (funny right?)
And I never cheated (I mean, maybe once, twice)
One time don't change everything
She ask why I don't feel the same, I'm still the same
She's still insane and now she's saying

When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart

Okay, skeet, smoke
Sleep, call
Miss, text
Woke, spoke
Lie, feel, Lisa ew
Time, kill, months, still
I got somebody baby mama calling me daddy
I drank too much, please call me a cabby
Penthouse after party hoes want that addy
Fuck they can ride with us, crawl in a Caddy
Third row is when you call, I hit cancel
Really? I hit answer, fuck I hate when that happens
Phone in my pocket for the whole night
And you heard bitches screamin' til my phone dies
Then she text me like "why you still talk to my mama?"
How the fuck you run around with condoms?
Why you make me get this tattoo?
Man, fuck this tattoo you the reason I wasn't single in college
What? all because I had you
Nigga I don't even have you
How am I suppose to get past you?
And she called the next guy spillin' some real shit
Now they problems he got to deal with

When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart

Girl, don't believe them hoes
Cause they don't wanna see us together
And you already know you're too fly
But baby, don't get your hair caught in the propellers
I be tryna tell her these hoes is jealous
You know they never like it when you never say never
Long hair, red bone, but her pussy is hairless
Muah, I french kiss it like we in Paris
I be screaming out, "ain't no woman like the one I got"
But she be always worrying about the one I fucked
She said it's gonna be me, myself and I
Damn, that would make me a one-eyed fuck
Sch, I was so mad
Damn, you used to ride a nigga like a moped
But players fuck up, my bad
And just to keep from crying, I laughed

When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart

Baby, last time calling me baby
Last time calling me crazy
Crazy, crazy

Baby, last time calling me baby
Last time calling me crazy
Crazy, crazy

Beware

This song features a guest appearance from rapper Lil Wayne whilst Los Angeles singer-songwriter Jhené Aiko joins Sean on the hook. Aiko previously collaborated with Big Sean when she provided vocals for "I'm Gonna Be" (a track from his mixtape Detroit) and she also hooked up with J. Cole on his Born Sinner track, "Sparks Will Fly."

The song was produced by frequent collaborator Key Wane and finds Sean giving insight into a former relationship on this cautionary love tale:

"When you said it was over, you shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad, I should've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a woman with a broken heart"

Big Sean's lover couldn't deal with all the jealous girls who were after the rapper and ended the relationship,. Now he has to face the consequences of his brokenhearted ex.

The song contains an interpolation of The Four Tops' 1973 hit single, "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)," which was originally recorded by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds the previous year.

MILF Lyrics

Ok, I love me some of yo mama, (oh) true that (true that)
Don't call me daddy, only she can do that
Ok, me and yo mama be fuckin, boy you ain't about that
You seen her lookin all mad, ain't time for ya nap?
You wake up, I'm back, eating up all your snacks
Don't ask for help with your math (stupid)
Ain't my fault, you can't add
Don't be out here fake cryin, lyin
Up in the keyhole straight spying
Only knock the door if you're dyin
I wish I could stay here forever (I love it)
You the only reason me and your mama ain't together
She's so much better than my old bitch
Man, I love that old bitch
I do

No stress, no drama, her kids hatin, they know I fucked their mama
I love ya mama, I love ya mama, I love ya mama
I love ya mama, I love ya mama, I love ya mama

The way she bounce both cheekies
Boy, she freaky, shoulda known she was kinky
When I walked inside the room and I seen that slinky
Even made me use my pinky the way she teach me
It's just so dreamy, oh God, damn, man
I cheat on tests, cheat on hoes I cheat when I can
I'm even cheating on my whip, I got a side Benz
But she made me wanna cut off all my side friends (I love you, baby)
A nigga be tryna taste her, take her
They rape her, stand out the daycare sit there and wait there
Fuck, I can't even trust the neighbors, damn (what you lookin' at?)
You niggas stick to your young hoes
I got a freak that wash, dry, and fold clothes
You motherfuckers

No stress, no drama, her kids hatin, they know I fucked their mama
I love ya mama, I love ya mama, I love ya mama
I love ya mama, I love ya mama, I love ya mama

I got my welfare check, smokin' on that crack
Hell yeah I'm unemployed
Baby daddy-down my back
Now what you got for me Sean?
I heard it's big and it's long
I take my teeth out, suck it good
That's where your dick belong
Yeah, do it like that daddy
Pump pump bump bump it in my ass-matic
You a dummie, you is big balls
(Mom, I'm hungry) Shut your mouth, you little bastards gone
All this ass is for you Seany, can I call you Seany?
Sl-Sl-Slap me in my face with it
Get a crack ? with that bass in it
Cause if I got weed then I'm lacin it
Eat all this ass, quit tastin' it

I got yo mama all in my line
Bullets all in my 9
Rollie tell the time
She ain't yours, she ain't mine
Throw a hundred every time
I think my coupe just lost its mind
Put yo mama on that trippy shit, sippin' lean, snorting lines
Overseas like bonjour
Last ten years I've been on tour
And I still got that old money
I touch more green than a lawnmower
With a ratchet bitch, you laid up
I'm on my tour bus fucking mamas getting paid up
I take that bitch to my mansion
And a nigga can't pay her to leave
Yo mama a great head doctor, with no PhD
My pockets stuffed with that dough
I made it all in the streets
I might just go to the club, and throw it all on a freak
Yo mama

MILF

The song title stands for "Mom I Like to F--k". No one has nailed down the origin of the acronym but it was popularized by Jennifer Coolidge's character, "Stifler's Mom" in the hit movie series American Pie.

Big Sean recruited Nicki Minaj and Juicy J for this Da Internz produced slinky ode to MILFs. He explained at the album's listening party that his aim was to recreate the fun of his hit stripper anthem "Dance (A$$)," even re-using its signature handclaps.

Da Internz produced "Dance (A$$)," whilst Nicki Minaj featured on the remix.

Sean told MTV News that he didn't take too kindly to his single mom's boyfriends, and now that he's dated a few single moms himself, he sees the other side. "When I was a young kid and I saw my mom with boyfriends, I used to hate her being with boyfriends," Sean explained. "It's crazy how the tables turn."

"I just wanted to convey that message in a song. I just wanted to get that moment, because that's a moment in society. That's something that really goes on, and that's what the song is about," he added. "It's just about a crazy-ass mom, going wild and I do think it's funny, but I think it's real as hell too. And that's what I try to do with every song on the album, just keep it real as possible."

Always hella coppin', no propellers, moving bank tellers

After that she wine tasting, Sean tastin'
You know? I gave her diamonds and gold

For the handbag livin', Saks Fifth'n, tag rippin'

World Ablaze Lyrics

Stay close to me, so close to me
That's how it's supposed to be
Long as you've been knowing me
You been holding me down
I'm sure as fuck, so fuck hopefully
I watch over you, you watch over me
And that's how it's supposed to be
And we are, alright

Now, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright
Cause, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Might not make it this time
Is what not to say at this time
Sometimes, the truth ain't what you need to hear
And you tell them they alright, when they need a cure
I'mma believe in paradise if I don't see the sand
Only palm trees I got is this weed off in my hand
Around the same time my mom said "Sean, you need a plan
Mrs. Freeman's son, across the street got shot
Now she need a hand!"
Traumatized, gotta watch, his momma cry
Now I gotta look up, up in his momma eyes, and gotta tell his momma lies
Like, "It's gonna be alright," knowing it ain't alright
I know there's just so much pain, and there's probably more on the way

Now, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright
Cause, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

You know I love you momma like she mine
Whether we together, or we trying
We fuck, three times, we smoke, tree times
We climb, I left, came back in town, it wasn't in time
The cancer done came, it just hit it's prime
It came from the breast, just spread to the spine
It might make her blind, she stare at the blinds
"This can't be my mom!"
Got me thinking, "whats a girl to do, a girl to do?
When her world's a pool?
And she comes up for air, and it's walls of flames
And all the stress is all propane
She's burned again"
Hoping I could make her smile
Take cancer and David Blaine it out
POOF! Disappear, God make an out!

Now, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright
Cause, when the world's ablaze, the stars will fall
The lights go off
Say its going to be, alright
It's going to be, alright

Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Just tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be
Tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be, tell me it'll be

Stay close to me, so close to me
That's how it's supposed to be
Long as you've been knowing me
You been holding me down
I'm sure as fuck, so fuck hopefully
I watch over you, you watch over me
And that's how it's supposed to be
And we are, alright

Stay close to me, so close to me
That's how it's supposed to be
Long as you've been knowing me
You been holding me down
I'm sure as fuck, so fuck hopefully
I watch over you, you watch over me
And that's how it's supposed to be
And we are, alright

Stay close to me, so close to me
That's how it's supposed to be
Long as you've been knowing me
You been holding me down
I'm sure as fuck, so fuck hopefully
I watch over you, you watch over me
And that's how it's supposed to be
And we are, alright

This Key Wayne & No I.D.-produced track kicks off and closes with Roc Nation singer-songwriter James Fauntleroy, who has penned songs for and with the likes of Rihanna, Drake and Justin Timberlake.

Big Sean shares two real-life heartbreaking scenarios in his verses, the latter of which is about when the mother of his girlfriend at the time, Ashley Marie, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

This headbanging, fast-paced track finds Sean venting a lot of angry feelings about a girl that messed with him. The song was released soon after the rapper called off his engagement to Glee star Naya Rivera, but he insisted to MTV News the song isn't about her.

"The funny thing about 'I Don't F--- With You' is I actually wrote that while I was in a relationship," he said. "I wrote that when I was with my ex. And then obviously when a few things went down, I went back and changed a couple of words. But mainly the song was already there."

Sean told Billboard magazine it's a song that he believes many people can relate to. "I feel like it's an anthem for everybody," he noted. "It's an anthem in every way shape and form, if you don't f--k with somebody from your past, right now, or the other way around, somebody doesn't f--k with you."

Production credits are shared by DJ Mustard, Kanye West, DJ Dahi and Key Wane. Mustard was asked by The Boombox if he minds the split credit. "Nah, not at all," he replied. "I'm all about making big records. So if it takes 20 people to make a hit record or if it takes 10… Sometimes it only takes one but whatever is gonna make the record sound better than it did, I'm down for it."

Mustard had created the entire beat before the others added to it. "The beat was pretty much done," he said. I guess Kanye came in with a beat at the end and he did his 'Kanye thing' to it, to make it bigger than what it was and we just really came out…"

"Well," he paused, "Dahi was on it, Key Wane added a sample to it and it came out as a really good record."

Bay Area rapper E-40 spits the second verse. He is a founding member of the rap group The Click, and the founder of Sick Wid It Records. E-40 was one of Big Sean's favorite rappers when he was growing up. The Detroit MC recalled to HighSnobiety : "My older brother used to play his music for me all the time back when I was a shorty… I was like seven years old, eight years old listening to E-40, Tupac, Snoop [Dogg] and [Notorious] B.I.G.… It was great man, you could only imagine how it took my appreciation for him even further – he sounded better than he's ever sounded."

The football-themed music video was directed by Lawrence Lamont and portrays Big Sean as a quarterback during a football game. The clip contains notable cameos by DJ Mustard as the running back, Kanye West as the coach, Teyana Taylor as the head cheerleader and E-40 as the suited-up commentator. Internet sensations Simone Shepherd and Khalil Underwood feature as well.

Sports fans slammed Big Sean for the video as it was filled with inaccuracies, such as wide receivers and quarterbacks wearing the wrong numbers on their jerseys and swigging Red Bulls on the sidelines instead of Gatorade or water.

This was Big Sean's third #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, following his 2011 song "Marvin & Chardonnay" and his Cruel Summer collaboration with Kanye West, Pusha T and 2 Chainz, "Mercy."

The song stayed at the summit for eight weeks, Sean's biggest hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. "It's the non tangible rap element that made it a hit," Def Jam executive No I.D. told Billboard magazine. "The fact that everyone feels like that about somebody. If you're not a rap fan, you can still understand and relate to it, out of the gate. It was a record I pushed and fought for and everyone else in the building felt the same way."

Justin Bieber actually had DJ Mustard's beat for this song first. The producer told MTV News how Big Sean ended up recording the tune. "We all just didn't communicate; nobody communicated with my team," he explained to MTV News. "[There's] not no hard feelings or anything like that. It's not a beef or no crazy s--t like that, but we didn't communicate. I was excited about the record."

"When I got in with Sean, Sean had already picked the record," Mustard added. "I'm like, 'Dang, Justin got this record.' And I always kept telling my management like, 'Yo, they got this record,' and everybody was like, 'Well, we reaching, and nobody else is reaching out to us. So what do you wanna do?'"

"And I was like, you know what, just give it to Sean, because me and Sean got a relationship," he concluded. "And I ended up doing four songs on Sean's album."

After denying the track was about his ex-girlfriend Naya Rivera, Sean finally admitted to Complex magazine that their breakup was at least, in part, the inspiration for the song. The majority of the cut, he explained, was written while the two were still together. However, the final verse, especially the line, "And every day I wake up celebrating s--t, why? Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy bitch," are celebrating his escape from the relationship.

One Man Can Change the World Lyrics

They used to tell me
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

All I, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chick
Imagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had it
Back on the mattress
Starin' at the ceilin' tryna to connect the dots
But its hard makin' those attachments
I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft day
You know? My - my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day
No Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye)
But when you're getting fast money, slow down, don't crash
With all the drive in the world, swear you still need gas
Look, think about it, close your eyes, dream about it
Tell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about it
Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance
Used to look up at the stars and be like ain't too much that's different
I be shinin', they be shinin', get your one shot don't you miss it
What you know bout' wakin' up everyday like you on a mission?

I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

My grandma told me if you write your name in stone you'll never get the white out
I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the white house
Standin' next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed
I said you not the only one I know got rich wearin' masks
Where I'm from I swear they broke, they need way more than the cast
We need more than what you have
And then we need more than that
But how am I supposed to say I'm tired
If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't survive
Went to war, came back alive
On top of that became a female black captain
When being black you had to extra extra try
Way before James Brown made us proud
She bought a crib on the same street as Marvin Gaye
Right there on Outer Drive, and she taught me how to drive
And she raised the kids, then the kids' kids, and she did it right
Taught me how to love, taught me not to cry
When I die, I hope you teach me how to fly
All my life you've been that angel in disguise saying

I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

One Man Can Change the World Song Chart

This soulful ballad testifies to the endless potential one person has for changing the world. Sean invites Kanye West and John Legend along for the rise, with each taking a turn at crooning the hook. "I just lost my grandma," he told MTV News. "So, right before she passed, I wrote this song. A major part of the song is about her. She never got a chance to hear it. It's just an emotional thing."

"It's just a song that comes straight 100 percent from the heart," Sean continued. "I hope people can enjoy it. And I really appreciate John Legend and Kanye West being a part of that."

Sean reflects here on the positive influences in his life, in particular his late grandmother. (She suffered a debilitating stroke and passed away in December 2014). The rapper includes a clip of a recorded phone conversation between the pair at the end of the song. "In a selfish way, it was hard to say goodbye," he told Billboard magazine, "but when I stepped back, I was happy she was free of the wheelchair and didn't have to go through that."

Big Sean's late grandmother, Mildred V. Leonard, was one of the first female black captains in World War II and a pillar in her Detroit community. Sean said: "I hope my grandma is looking down smiling on me right now. Because the struggles she went through to become a female black captain in WW2, one of the first black officers in Detroit, a teacher/counselor, an amazing mom/grandma were too great for this song not to be a single. I'm sure you can relate if you ever had somebody like that who changed your world."

Sean consciously chose not to swear on this specific track. He tweeted: "Know it's hard to imagine me not cursing on a song/single... (Cues up IDFWY, etc lol). But honestly I'm proud to have a song so heartfelt."

This won for Best Video with a Social Message at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, the first VMA for either Sean or Legend. Accepting the award, Sean dedicated it to his late grandmother, saying, "If one person has shown me that one man - meaning male or female - could change the world, it's her."

The video was directed by Andy Hines, who also did Big Sean's "Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)" clip.
