The Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy (2005 Remaster)(1994)

[00:02.36] Yeah, this album is dedicated
[00:05.28] To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
[00:08.06] To all the people that lived above the
[00:10.05] Buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
[00:11.43] Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to
[00:13.14] Make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
[00:15.00] And all the niggas in the struggle
[00:16.68] You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby
[00:20.35] It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
[00:23.69] Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
[00:26.53] Hangin' pictures on my wall
[00:28.28] Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
[00:31.41] I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
[00:33.96] Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
[00:36.65] Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
[00:39.26] With the hat to match
[00:41.02] Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
[00:43.45] You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
[00:46.23] Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
[00:48.82] Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[00:51.64] Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:54.00] Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
[00:56.40] Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
[00:58.71] Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
[01:01.32] I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
[01:03.63] Call the crib, same number, same hood
[01:05.80] It's all good (It's all good)
[01:08.18] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[01:11.88] You know very well
[01:14.45] Who you are
[01:16.60] Don't let 'em hold you down
[01:19.63] Reach for the stars
[01:22.44] You had a goal
[01:24.46] But not that many
[01:26.79] 'Cause you're the only one
[01:29.18] I'll give you good and plenty
[01:30.90] I made the change from a common thief
[01:32.99] To up close and personal with Robin Leach
[01:35.46] And I'm far from cheap
[01:36.74] I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
[01:38.59] Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
[01:40.39] The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
[01:42.43] Girls used to diss me
[01:43.80] Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
[01:45.76] I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
[01:48.39] I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
[01:51.07] Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
[01:53.89] From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
[01:56.24] Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
[01:58.60] Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
[02:01.31] Livin' life without fear
[02:03.09] Puttin' five karats in my baby girl's ear
[02:05.71] Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
[02:08.62] Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
[02:11.50] Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
[02:14.63] And it's still all good, uh
[02:18.15] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[02:21.90] You know very well
[02:24.43] Who you are
[02:26.72] Don't let 'em hold you down
[02:29.55] Reach for the stars
[02:32.22] You had a goal
[02:34.36] But not that many
[02:36.50] 'Cause you're the only one
[02:39.00] I'll give you good and plenty
[02:41.15] Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[02:43.58] When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
[02:46.29] 50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
[02:48.65] Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
[02:51.24] Phone bill about two G's flat
[02:53.64] No need to worry, my accountant handles that
[02:56.14] And my whole crew is loungin'
[02:58.44] Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
[03:01.48] Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
[03:03.44] Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
[03:06.21] And she loves to show me off of course
[03:08.77] Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
[03:11.22] We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
[03:13.72] No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
[03:16.34] Birthdays was the worst days
[03:18.56] Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
[03:21.17] Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
[03:23.39] 'Cause I went from negative to positive
[03:25.48] And it's all (It's all good, nigga)
[03:28.72] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:31.42] You know very well
[03:34.28] Who you are
[03:36.58] Don't let 'em hold you down
[03:39.00] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:40.90] Reach for the stars
[03:42.36] You had a goal
[03:44.13] But not that many
[03:46.46] 'Cause you're the only one
[03:48.82] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:50.45] I'll give you good and plenty
[03:51.65] Representin' B-Town in the house
[03:54.28] Junior Mafia, mad flavor
[03:56.87] Uh, uh, yeah, aight
[04:05.45]
[04:11.86] You know very well
[04:14.37] Who you are
[04:16.66] Don't let 'em hold you down
[04:19.32] Reach for the stars
[04:22.11] You had a goal
[04:24.25] But not that many
[04:26.74] 'Cause you're the only one
[04:29.38] I'll give you good and plenty
