Lyrics

[00:02.25] Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me
[00:06.52] I'd never amount to nothin', to all the people that lived above the
[00:09.66] buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on
[00:12.45] me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters,
[00:14.81] and all the niggaz in the struggle, you know what I'm sayin'?
[00:17.60]
[00:17.81] Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh
[00:20.41]
[00:20.59] It was all a dream
[00:22.01] I used to read Word Up magazine
[00:24.18] Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
[00:26.78] Hangin' pictures on my wall
[00:28.31] Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
[00:31.62] I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
[00:34.05] Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
[00:36.76] Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
[00:39.56] With the hat to match
[00:41.07] Remember Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
[00:43.65] You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
[00:46.36] Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
[00:48.93] Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[00:51.59] Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:53.93] Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
[00:56.41] Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
[00:58.91] Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
[01:01.47] I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
[01:03.65] Call the crib, same number same hood
[01:05.71] It's all good
[01:06.84] Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
[01:11.45]
[03:32.37][02:22.40][01:11.66] You know very well who you are
[03:37.23][02:27.57][01:16.89] Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
[03:42.71][02:32.58][01:22.07] You had a goal, but not that many
[03:47.06][02:37.06][01:26.52] 'cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty
[03:51.23][01:31.49]
[01:31.68] I made the change from a common thief
[01:32.86] To up close and personal with Robin Leach
[01:35.43] And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
[01:38.64] Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
[01:40.65] The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
[01:43.04] Girls used to diss me
[01:44.28] Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
[01:46.35] I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
[01:48.81] I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
[01:51.60] Now honies play me close like butter played toast
[01:54.16] From the Mississippi down to the east coast
[01:56.59] Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
[01:58.50] Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
[02:01.65] Livin' life without fear
[02:03.62] Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears
[02:06.07] Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
[02:08.93] Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
[02:11.74] Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
[02:14.68] And it's still all good
[02:16.48]
[02:17.01] Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[02:41.95]
[02:42.16] Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[02:44.27] When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
[02:46.51] 50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
[02:49.40] Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
[02:51.72] Phone bill about two G's flat
[02:54.16] No need to worry, my accountant handles that
[02:56.66] And my whole crew is loungin'
[02:58.82] Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
[03:01.88] Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
[03:04.09] Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
[03:06.42] And she loves to show me off, of course
[03:09.16] Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
[03:11.89] We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
[03:14.22] No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
[03:16.82] Birthdays was the worst days
[03:18.95] Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
[03:21.36] Uh, damn right I like the life I live
[03:23.85] 'Cause I went from negative to positive
[03:25.73] And it's all...
[03:26.92]
[03:27.53] It's all good
[03:29.47]
[03:29.64] ...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
[03:52.71]
[03:52.86] Representin' B-Town in the house, Junior Mafia, mad flavor, uh
[04:00.32] Uh, yeah, a-ight
[04:03.79]
