Sit up straight, be on time
Better walk in a straight line
Read the books, read the signs
Ain't no time to fool around
Well, not for me, I won't be caged
I'll turn the world into a stage
Destiny, you call it fate
Time to turn another page
When the moon is out
I'm gonna leave this town
I gotta spread my wings, gotta cut the strings
And I won't back down
When the moon is out
Watch me dance around
I'm gone without a sound, yeah
Mama, I know
That the sun gon' shine
Just let me move around
Like a ballet dancer
Mama, I feel
I'm running out of time
Don't wanna fall behind
I've got to set these words into motion
(Mama, I know)
The sun gon' shine (the sun gon' shine)
And I'll be fine (I'ma be fine)
I'm a ballet dancer (I'm a ballet dancer)
And mama, I feel (mama, I feel)
This ain't what you wanted (what you wanted)
I'm just getting started (getting started)
Let's move it, let's move it right now
It's a gamble, it's a bet
What about your safety net?
You get good grades, pass the test
And don't do things you might regret
Well, F those rules, I won't be caged
I'll turn the world into a stage
Destiny, I call it fate
Time to turn another page
When the moon is out
I'ma leave this town
I'll do a pirouette
So you won't forget what's about to go down
When the moon is out
Watch me dance around
I'm gone without a sound, yeah
Mama, I know
That the sun gon' shine
Just let me move around
Like a ballet dancer
And mama, I feel
I'm running out of time
Don't wanna fall behind
I've got to set these words in motion
(Mama, I know)
The sun gon' shine (the sun gon' shine)
And I'll be fine (and I'll be fine)
I'm a ballet dancer (like a ballet dancer)
And mama, I feel (mama, I feel)
This ain't what you wanted (what you wanted)
I'm just getting started (getting started)
Let's move it, let's move it right now
Let's move it, let's move it right now
Let's move it, let's move it right now
Oh, you don't need to cry
This ain't no goodbye
We gon' touch the sky
Let's move it, let's move it
Mama, I know
And mama, I feel
