Juicy - 2007 Remaster Lyrics
Yeah, this album is dedicated
To all the teachers that told me I`d never amount to nothin`
To all the people that lived above theBuildings that I was hustlin` in front of
Called the police on me when I was just tryin` to
Make some money to feed my daughter (it`s all good)
And all my peoples in the struggle
You know what I`m sayin`? It`s all good, baby baby (check it)
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin` pictures on my wall
Every Saturday, Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock `til my tape popped
Smokin` weed in Bambu, sippin` 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, Brucie B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
I`m blowin` up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number, same hood
It`s all good (It`s all good)
And if you don`t know, now you know, nigga
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 Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they write letters `cause they miss me
I never thought it could happen, this rappin` stuff
I was too used to packin` - and stuff
Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
Condos in Queens, indo` for weeks
Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Livin` life without fear
Puttin` five 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, uh

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
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 loungin`
Celebratin` every day, no more public housin`
Thinkin` 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
Uh, 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 very well
Who you are
Don`t let `em hold you down
And if you don`t know, now you know
Reach for the stars
You had a goal
But not that many
`Cause you`re the only one
And if you don`t know, now you know
I`ll give you good and plenty
Reppin` B-Town in the house
Junior Mafia, mad flavor
Uh, uh, yeah, `aight
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
Uptown, money earnin` while burnin` `em
South Central, Detroit, East Side
