The Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy (2007 Remaster)(2007)

[00:02.24] Yeah, this album is dedicated
[00:05.54] To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
[00:08.28] To all the people that lived above the
[00:10.14] Buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
[00:11.51] Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to
[00:13.07] Make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
[00:15.32] And all the niggas in the struggle
[00:16.22] You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby
[00:20.74] It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
[00:23.96] Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
[00:26.77] Hangin' pictures on my wall
[00:28.29] Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
[00:31.68] I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
[00:33.82] Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
[00:36.82] Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
[00:39.48] With the hat to match
[00:41.18] Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
[00:43.60] You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
[00:46.50] Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
[00:48.86] Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[00:51.73] Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:54.16] Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
[00:56.42] Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
[00:58.85] Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
[01:01.45] I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
[01:03.68] Call the crib, same number, same hood
[01:05.77] It's all good (It's all good)
[01:07.96] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[01:12.27] You know very well
[01:14.36] Who you are
[01:16.52] Don't let 'em hold you down
[01:19.61] Reach for the stars
[01:22.35] You had a goal
[01:24.34] But not that many
[01:26.88] 'Cause you're the only one
[01:29.05] I'll give you good and plenty
[01:31.29] I made the change from a common thief
[01:33.12] To up close and personal with Robin Leach
[01:35.48] And I'm far from cheap
[01:37.03] I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
[01:38.98] Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
[01:40.75] The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
[01:42.33] Girls used to diss me
[01:43.97] Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
[01:46.17] I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
[01:48.75] I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
[01:51.26] Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
[01:53.86] From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
[01:56.25] Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
[01:58.86] Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
[02:01.42] Livin' life without fear
[02:03.49] Puttin' five karats in my baby girl's ear
[02:06.03] Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
[02:09.05] Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
[02:11.64] Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
[02:14.69] And it's still all good, uh
[02:17.63] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[02:22.42] You know very well
[02:24.34] Who you are
[02:26.50] Don't let 'em hold you down
[02:29.68] Reach for the stars
[02:32.17] You had a goal
[02:33.92] But not that many
[02:36.63] 'Cause you're the only one
[02:39.32] I'll give you good and plenty
[02:41.71] Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[02:43.99] When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
[02:46.41] 50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
[02:48.83] Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
[02:51.47] Phone bill about two G's flat
[02:53.75] No need to worry, my accountant handles that
[02:56.42] And my whole crew is loungin'
[02:58.82] Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
[03:01.78] Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
[03:03.79] Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
[03:06.30] And she loves to show me off of course
[03:08.73] Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
[03:11.36] We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
[03:13.96] No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
[03:16.39] Birthdays was the worst days
[03:18.92] Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
[03:21.28] Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
[03:23.68] 'Cause I went from negative to positive
[03:25.56] And it's all (It's all good, nigga)
[03:28.63] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:32.33] You know very well
[03:34.24] Who you are
[03:36.57] Don't let 'em hold you down
[03:39.25] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:41.39] Reach for the stars
[03:42.18] You had a goal
[03:44.33] But not that many
[03:46.56] 'Cause you're the only one
[03:49.00] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:50.77] I'll give you good and plenty
[03:51.58] Representin' B-Town in the house
[03:53.81] Junior Mafia, mad flavor
[03:56.57] Uh, uh, yeah, aight
[04:03.00] You know very well
[04:06.20]
[04:14.75] Who you are
[04:16.84] Don't let 'em hold you down
[04:19.45] Reach for the stars
[04:22.37] You had a goal
[04:24.47] But not that many
[04:26.64] 'Cause you're the only one
[04:29.17] I'll give you good and plenty
