Yeah, this album is dedicated To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nuttin To all the people that lived above the buildings That I was hustling in front of Called the police on me When I was just trying to make some money to feed my daughter And all the *****s in the struggle You know what I'm saying? It's all good, baby baby
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine Hangin' pictures on my wall Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped Smoking ***** on Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack With the hat to match Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha You never thought that hip hop would take it this far Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade Born sinner, the opposite of a winner Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski I'm blowing up like you thought I would Call the crib, same number, same hood It's all good And if you don't know, now you know, *****
I made the change from a common thief Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way The Moet and Alizé keep me pissy girls used to diss me Now they write letters cause they miss me I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff I was too used to packing gats and stuff Now honeys play me close like butter play toast From the Mississippi down to the East Coast Condos in Queens, indo for weeks Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak Living life without fear Putting 5 carats in my baby girl's ear Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool Considered a fool cause I dropped outta high school Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood And it's still all good Uh
