The Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy (2016 Remaster)(2016)

[00:00.10] Fuck all you hoes, get a grip, motherfucker
[00:02.28] Yeah, this album is dedicated
[00:05.49] To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
[00:08.28] To all the people that lived above the buildings
[00:10.30] That I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on me
[00:12.14] When I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter
[00:15.08] And all the niggas in the struggle
[00:16.67] You know what I'm saying'?
[00:18.16] It's all good, baby, baby
[00:20.61] It was all a dream
[00:21.94] I used to read Word Up! magazine
[00:24.12] Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
[00:26.57] Hangin' pictures on my wall
[00:28.41] Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
[00:31.45] I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
[00:33.78] Smokin' weed on Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
[00:36.53] Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
[00:39.49] With the hat to match
[00:40.95] Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
[00:43.56] You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
[00:46.21] Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
[00:49.08] Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
[00:51.67] Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
[00:54.09] 'Member when I used to eat sardines for dinner
[00:56.41] Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
[00:58.60] Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
[01:01.52] I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
[01:03.59] Call the crib, same number same hood (that's right)
[01:05.76] It's all good (it's all good)
[01:08.32] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[01:11.83] You know very well who you are
[01:16.65] Don't let 'em hold you down, reach for the stars
[01:22.30] You had a goal, but not that many
[01:26.72] 'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty
[01:30.75] I made the change from a common thief
[01:32.91] To up close and personal with Robin Leach
[01:35.64] And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
[01:38.52] Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
[01:40.57] The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
[01:42.51] Girls used to diss me
[01:43.93] Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
[01:45.92] I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
[01:48.73] I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
[01:51.11] Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
[01:53.64] From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
[01:56.38] Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
[01:58.90] Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
[02:01.48] Livin' life without fear
[02:03.38] Puttin' five carats in my baby girl's ear
[02:05.85] Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
[02:08.94] Considered a fool cause I dropped out of high school
[02:11.39] Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
[02:14.85] And it's still all good
[02:16.01] Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[02:21.99] You know very well who you are
[02:26.85] Don't let 'em hold you down, reach for the stars
[02:32.22] You had a goal, but not that many
[02:36.62] 'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty
[02:41.34] Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
[02:44.08] When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
[02:46.34] 50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
[02:48.78] Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
[02:51.34] Phone bill about two G's flat
[02:53.64] No need to worry, my accountant handles that
[02:56.59] And my whole crew is loungin'
[02:58.69] Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
[03:01.65] Thinking back on my one-room shack
[03:03.54] Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
[03:06.21] And she loves to show me off, of course
[03:08.73] Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
[03:11.56] We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
[03:13.85] No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
[03:16.35] Birthdays was the worst days
[03:18.40] Now we sip champagne when we thirsty
[03:21.26] Uh, damn right I like the life I live
[03:23.40] 'Cause I went from negative to positive
[03:25.69] And it's all (it's all good)
[03:28.57] And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
[03:31.88] You know very well who you are
[03:36.78] Don't let 'em hold you down, reach for the stars
[03:42.32] You had a goal, but not that many
[03:46.33] 'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty
[03:51.58] Representin' B-Town in the house
[03:54.37] Junior Mafia, mad flavor
[03:56.94] Uh, uh, yeah, aight

[04:16.92] Don't let 'em hold you down (don't), reach for the stars
[04:22.16] You had a goal (you had a goal), but not that many (not that many)
[04:26.59] 'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty
