[Intro]
---------------------
Amaj9
Yeah, this album is dedicated
B E
To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
A E B
To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
Amaj9
Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my
daughter
B
And all the niggas in the struggle
E A E
You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby, uh
[Verse 1]

B Amaj9
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
B
Salt n Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
E
Hangin' pictures on my wall
A E B
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mister Magic, Marley Marl
Amaj9
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
B
Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
E A E
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack With the hat to match
B
Amaj9
Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh ha, duh ha
B
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
E
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
A E B
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
B
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
E
Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
A E B
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski

I'm blowin' up like you thought I would

Reach for the stars
You had a goal

But not that many

B Amaj9
I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
B E
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
A E B
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way The Mo
Amaj9
et and Alize keep me pissy, girls used to diss me
B
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
E
I never thought it could happen, this rapping stuff
A E B Amaj9
I was too used to packing gats and stuff Now honeys play me close like butter play
toast
B
From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
E
Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
A E B
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Amaj9
Living life without fear
Puttin' five karats in my baby girl ear
B E
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
A E B
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Amaj9 B
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood And it's still all good,
uh
E A E B
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[Chorus (2)]

Amaj9
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
B
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
E
Fifty inch screen, money green leather sofa
A E B
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Amaj9
Phone bill about two G's flat
B
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
E
And my whole crew is loungin'
A E B
Celebrating every day, no more public housin'
Amaj9
Thinkin' back on my one room shack
B
Now my mom pimps an Ac' with minks on her back
E
And she loves to show me off of course
A E B
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
Amaj9
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
B
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
E
Birthdays was the worst days
A E B
Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
Amaj9
Uh, damn right I like the life I live

'Cause I went from negative to positive and it's all

And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
