Nigga have you seen her yet? Her beauty is debatable, that shit is like graffiti mess Rappers that I looked up to be hating, they know he a threat The sequel to your sad story Niggas know that he is next Wish I could be Michael Jordan, I can't put no 3 in nets Mama wish I went to college, I don't think a Kia's fresh (Hook) Yeah, my nigga look how far I come Promise Im'a change the world before Im done My nigga Im'a be the one My nigga Im'a be the one! Yeah, take a look how far I come Remember when they said that I was gon' be none But Im'a make them take it back before I'm done (Verse 2) Now I was very much like yourself Sixteen, wild as hell Been to jail, that ain't the story that Im here to tell I wanna tell ya'll about a nigga with a dream Big head nigga, buying magazines before he can even read! For the pictures, use to hang them on my all Rap city, after school man Im trying to be like y'all Told everybody I would They laughed I ain't even joke I told my niggas lets get high, and I don't even smoke! And if they told us we can't Then we gon' be rebels Been day dreaming about eating since we was starving at Mellos Back when me and Justin, ain't have no gas for that Civic Now the beamer got me gassed And Im laughing at yo ass, nigga! (Hook) (Verse 3) Everything changed, When these niggas from BK Met a kid from Miami, thats trying to win a Grammy It changed one night, When they booked that flight Out to go and meet a woman that changed my life The lady of Hip Hop, Who took niggas to the top Who other than Mona Scott, like damn this nigga hot! So after graduation, no time for salutations I walked that stage, then straight to JFK Like hold up, My dreams getting closer I must be allergic, or nervous, A Nigga done choked up In front of Mark Pitts, he's like where did you find Bizzy? Nigga standing right of a nigga that had Biggie! Damn, wasn't my shot guess I should have brought Shyne with me But I knew my time was coming, no tripping its fine with me Yeah, now the world is left to witness And Mona was a Mrs, so how the hell can she miss it, aye!
