Yeah this album is dedicated to[00:00:02]
All the teachers that told me[00:00:04]
I'd never amount to nothin' to all[00:00:06]
The people that thelived above [00:00:08]
Buildings that I was hustlin' in front[00:00:09]
Of when they called the police on[00:00:10]
Me when I was just tryin' to make[00:00:11]
Some money to feed my daughter[00:00:13]
And all the *z in the struggle you[00:00:15]
Know what I'm sayin'[00:00:17]
Uh ha it's all good baby bay-bee uh[00:00:17]
It was all a dream[00:00:19]
I used to read Word Up magazine[00:00:22]
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine[00:00:24]
Hangin' pictures on my wall[00:00:27]
Every Saturday Rap Attack Mr. Magic Marley Marl[00:00:28]
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped[00:00:31]
Smokin' w**d and bamboo sippin' on private stock[00:00:33]
Way back when I had the red and black lumberjack[00:00:36]
With the hat to match[00:00:39]
Remember Rappin' Duke duh-ha duh-ha[00:00:41]
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far[00:00:43]
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight[00:00:46]
Time to get paid blow up like the World Trade[00:00:49]
Born sinner the opposite of a winner[00:00:51]
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner[00:00:54]
Peace to Ron G Brucey B Kid Capri[00:00:56]
Funkmaster Flex Lovebug Starsky[00:00:58]
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would[00:01:01]
Call the crib same number same hood[00:01:04]
It's all good[00:01:05]
Uh and if you don't know now you know ni**a, uh[00:01:06]
You know very well who you are[00:01:12]
Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars[00:01:17]
You had a goal but not that many[00:01:22]
'Cause you're the only one[00:01:25]
I'll give you good and plenty[00:01:29]
I made the change from a common thief[00:01:31]
To up close and personal with Robin Leach[00:01:32]
And I'm far from cheap[00:01:35]
I smoke skunk with my peeps all day[00:01:37]
Spread love it's the Brooklyn way[00:01:38]
The Moet and Alize keep me pissy[00:01:40]
Girls used to diss me[00:01:42]
Now they write letters cause they miss me[00:01:44]
I never thought it could happen,[00:01:45]
This rappin' stuff[00:01:47]
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff[00:01:48]
Now honies play me close[00:01:50]
Like butter played toast[00:01:52]
From the Mississippi down to the east coast[00:01:53]
Condos in Queens indo for weeks[00:01:56]
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak[00:01:59]
Livin life without fear[00:02:01]
Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears[00:02:02]
Lunches brunches interviews by the pool[00:02:05]
Considered a fool 'cause[00:02:09]
I dropped out of high school[00:02:10]
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood[00:02:11]
And it's still all good[00:02:13]
Uh.and if you don't know[00:02:16]
Now you know ni**a[00:02:20]
You know very well who you are[00:02:22]
Don't let em hold you down reach for the stars[00:02:27]
You had a goal but not that many[00:02:32]
'Cause your the only one[00:02:37]
I'll give you good and plenty[00:02:38]
Super Nintendo Sega Genesis[00:02:41]
When I was dead broke man[00:02:43]
I couldn't picture this[00:02:45]
50 inch screen money green leather sofa[00:02:46]
Got two rides a limousine with a chauffeur[00:02:49]
Phone bill about two G's flat[00:02:51]
No need to worry my accountant handles that[00:02:53]
And my whole crew is loungin'[00:02:56]
Celebratin' every day no more public housin'[00:02:58]
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack[00:03:01]
Now my mom pimps a[00:03:04]
Ac' with minks on her back[00:03:04]
And she loves to show me off of course[00:03:06]
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source[00:03:08]
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us[00:03:12]
No heat wonder why Christmas missed us[00:03:13]
Birthdays was the worst days[00:03:16]
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay[00:03:18]
Uh damn right I like the life I live[00:03:20]
'Cause I went from negative to positive[00:03:24]
And it's all (It's all good)[00:03:25]
