[Verse 1]
I hope the kids I raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid
Probably be just like me
Don't sweat the small stuff, like to tell stories
Cook a decent meal for their friends
I hope they're just like you
Someone who likes to read and does well in school
Pretty sure you enjoyed it too, God I hope they're like you
Do you think they'll rollerblade?
Turned out alright, say grace
Guess it'd be nice if they didn't live too far away
I hope they learn from their mistakes
Call us up just to say thanks
Know who they are, what they want at the end of the day

[Chorus]
I hope the kids we are raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid
I hope the kids we are raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid

[Verse 2]
And I hope they're good at making friends
Not afraid to fall in love
When they get hurt
Know it's worth it to try again
I hope they have a sweet tooth
When they need to talk, they'd have an excuse
Bring the old man a slice of that tiramisu
I hope they don't grow up too fast
Travel the world and come back
They will realize it's who you're with, not where you're at
I hope they dye their hair and get tattoos
Are a good sport with a good attitude
And I hope they remind me of you
[Chorus]
I hope the kids we are raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid
I hope the kids we are raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid
I hope the kids we are raise are ambitious, don't play it safe
Have a lot to say, live a long life, and get paid
