SomeKindaWonderful - Juicy

It was all a dream,
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hanging pictures on my wall
Every Saturday, Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

I let my tape rock til my tape pop
Smoking weed and bamboo, sipping 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 Starsky
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, you know, you know

You know very well WHO YOU ARE
Don't let 'em hold you down, REACH FOR THE STARS
YOU HAD A GOAL but not that many
'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you GOOD AND PLENTY

I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way

The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they writing letters 'cause they miss me
I never thought this could happen, this rapping stuff
I was too used to packing gats and stuff
Now honnies play me close like butter played 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 karats in my baby girl's ear
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
And it's still all good

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

You know very well WHO YOU ARE
Don't let 'em hold you down, REACH FOR THE STARS
YOU HAD A GOAL but not that many
'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you GOOD AND PLENTY

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
50 inch screen, money green, leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G's flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is lounging
Celebrating every day, no more public housing
Thinking back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirsty
Damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all

It's all good and if you don't know, now you know, you know

You know very well WHO YOU ARE
Don't let 'em hold you down, REACH FOR THE STARS
YOU HAD A GOAL but not that many
'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you GOOD AND PLENTY

Representing B-Town in the house, Junior Mafia, mad flavor
Juicy
