[00:01.63]Yeah, this album is dedicated
[00:04.85]To all the teachers that told me I’d never amount to nothin’
[00:08.13]To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin’
[00:09.82]In front and called the police on me when I was just tryin’
[00:11.65]To make some money to feed my daughter
[00:14.40]And to all of my peoples in the struggle (yeah, yeah)
[00:16.50]You know what I’m sayin’? It’s all good, baby, baby
[00:20.02]It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
[00:23.72]Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
[00:26.34]Hangin’ pictures on my wall
[00:28.19]Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
[00:31.28]I let my tape rock ’til my tape popped
[00:33.77]Smokin’ weed in Bambu, sippin’ on Private Stock
[00:36.65]Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
[00:39.00]With the hat to match
[00:40.53]Remember Rappin’ Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
[00:43.05]You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
[00:45.86]Now I’m in the limelight ’cause I rhyme tight
[00:48.40]Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[00:50.99]Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:53.41]Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
[00:56.39]Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
[00:58.27]Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
[01:01.14]I’m blowin’ up like you thought I would
[01:03.19]Call the crib, same number, same hood
[01:04.89]It’s all good (it’s all good)
[01:08.03]And if you don’t know, now you know
[01:10.91]You know very well
[01:14.07]Who you are
[01:16.50]Don’t let ’em hold you down
[01:19.27]Reach for the stars
[01:21.79]You had a goal
[01:23.54]But not that many
[01:25.90]’Cause you’re the only one
[01:28.52]I’ll give you good and plenty
[01:30.89]I made the change from a common thief
[01:32.51]To up close and personal with Robin Leach
[01:34.93]And I’m far from cheap
[01:36.71]I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
[01:37.84]Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way
[01:40.26]The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
[01:42.10]Girls used to diss me
[01:43.42]Now they write letters ’cause they miss me
[01:45.73]I never thought it could happen, this rappin’ stuff
[01:48.15]I was too used to packin’ gats and stuff
[01:50.32]Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
[01:53.57]From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
[01:55.50]Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
[01:57.10]Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
[02:01.16]Livin’ life without fear
[02:03.18]Puttin’ five karats in my baby girl’s ear
[02:05.60]Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
[02:08.36]Considered a fool ’cause I dropped out of high school
[02:11.15]Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
[02:14.34]And it’s still all good
[02:18.04]And if you don’t know, now you know
[02:21.15]You know very well
[02:23.79]Who you are
[02:26.54]Don’t let ’em hold you down
[02:29.31]Reach for the stars
[02:31.77]You had a goal
[02:33.63]But not that many
[02:36.13]’Cause you’re the only one
[02:38.34]I’ll give you good and plenty
[02:40.56]Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[02:43.37]When I was dead broke, man, I couldn’t picture this
[02:46.10]50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
[02:48.09]Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
[02:50.83]Phone bill about two G’s flat
[02:53.33]No need to worry, my accountant handles that
[02:56.09]And my whole crew is loungin’
[02:58.08]Celebratin’ every day, no more public housin’
[03:00.90]Thinkin’ back on my one-room shack
[03:03.30]Now my mom pimps a Ac’ with minks on her back
[03:05.47]And she loves to show me off of course
[03:07.93]Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
[03:10.87]We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
[03:13.23]No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
[03:15.65]Birthdays was the worst days
[03:17.75]Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
[03:20.68]Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
[03:22.97]’Cause I went from negative to positive
[03:25.37]And it’s all (it’s all good)
[03:28.07]And if you don’t know, now you know
[03:31.17]You know very well
[03:34.82]Who you are
[03:35.92]Don’t let ’em hold you down
[03:38.55]And if you don’t know, now you know
[03:40.55]Reach for the stars
[03:41.28]You had a goal
[03:43.76]But not that many
[03:46.50]’Cause you’re the only one (and if you don’t know, now you know)
[03:48.42]I’ll give you good and plenty
[03:51.29]Representin’ B-Town in the house
[03:53.53]Junior Mafia, mad flavor
[03:58.68]Uh, uh, yeah, aight
[04:10.35]You know very well (you know)
[04:13.23]Who you are
[04:16.17]Don’t let ’em hold you down (don’t)
[04:18.87]Reach for the stars
[04:21.65]You had a goal (you had a goal)
[04:22.96]But not that many
[04:25.67]’Cause you’re the only one
[04:28.16]I’ll give you good and plenty
