[00:24.13]Was to be excited
[00:26.93]About right now
[00:29.15]We all wanna be number 1
[00:34.83]We all wanna be number 1
[00:38.21]When I said goodbye
[00:38.97]She has a tear in her eye
[00:40.28]I'm like momma don't cry
[00:41.57]Your little boy got to fly
[00:42.70]They say up in N.Y.
[00:44.9]I swear it's going down
[00:45.42]and I'm gonna have a million dollars
[00:46.90]when I get back in town
[00:48.20]She said "You're just going through a phase
[00:50.19]can't this be a hobby?"
[00:51.33]I said "My friends say I'm dope,
[00:52.52]even Charlie & Robbie"
[00:53.81]We said our goodbyes
[00:55.32]And I boarded the plane
[00:56.39]I was looking out the window
[00:57.57]at the wings as it rained
[00:59.25]We taxied to the runway
[01:00.27]I could hear the engine howling
[01:01.54]Thew a prayer up in the air
[01:02.91]And felt the world escape the ground
[01:04.41]The buildings, the cars
[01:05.59]And the towns were small as ants
[01:06.93]I was destined for the unknown
[01:08.41]Just lookin for a chance
[01:09.71]All I ever wanted
[01:12.18]Was to be excited
[01:14.65]About right now

[01:27.98]We all wanna be number 1
[01:32.90]We all wanna be number 1
[01:36.12]We landed at LaGuardia
[01:37.22]I grabbed my bags and stepped
[01:38.73]Into the cold, the snow was falling
[01:39.95]I lit a cigarette
[01:42.8]There was a million yellow taxis
[01:42.68]Everybody seemed upset
[01:43.86]A rugged voice from behind me
[01:45.33]Asked me "Where you tryin to get?"
[01:46.55]I said "The closest motel,
[01:47.94]but no tellin tomorrow"
[01:49.1]He said "You must be from Atlanta"
[01:50.44]I said "Georgia, how did you know?"
[01:51.89]"I could tell from your accent
[01:53.9]That you were from the south"
[01:54.47]Threw my luggage in the trunk
[01:55.74]He said "Get it" and we pulled out
[01:57.0]Into the sirens and the honking horns
[01:58.63]The hustle and the bustle
[01:59.76]And the traffic that's when he said
[02:01.22]"Welcome to the Jungle"
[02:02.52]I looked up at all the buildings
[02:03.76]Until we got to the mot-
[02:05.5]Before we left he said "I hope you find
[02:06.53]what you're lookin for"
[02:08.72]All I ever wanted
[02:10.36]Was to be excited
[02:13.10]About right now

[02:26.16]We all wanna be number 1
[02:31.66]We all wanna be number 1
[02:34.42]Then a 19 yr old kid
[02:35.46]In a motel room in New York
[02:37.0]Dug his cellie out his pocket
[02:38.44]Called his parents to report
[02:39.81]He was alive and doin well and doin fine
[02:41.33]When he got off the phone
[02:42.85]He sat down on the corner of the bed
[02:44.38]All alone
[02:45.38]With the TV on the volume mute
[02:46.63]He grabbed his pen and pad
[02:47.86]And jotted down ideas about some things
[02:49.30]That he wanted so bad
[02:50.40]That he would risk it all to get 'em
[02:51.62]And it wasn't very long
[02:52.89]He was asleep and right beside him
[02:54.30]laid the lyrics to a song called
[02:55.51]All I ever wanted
[02:58.28]Was to be excited
[03:00.88]About right now
[03:03.42]We all wanna be number 1
