Uh, yeah
I wanna send this out to all of the aspiring
Artists out there, with hopes that I can be inspiring
Look, you knew I was a hustler, had the mind frame of Scarface
And when I made mistakes, you let me learn the hard way
Dirty ghetto kid played the corner with bail
Neighbors lookin' at us crazy 'cause they know what we sell
Bring pain to the pot, when I jump in that kitchen
Bring fame to the block when I pull up in the trenches
Gave hope to the kids, takin' walks in my shoes
Feelin' like Biggie Smalls when I'm flossin' my jewels
My nigga Fee told me stay away from huggin' the strip
Money and murder, it all came with juggling bricks
Say we high profile when it come to our image
New Cash Money Records when it come to our city
Put that piece around they neck and that Rollie on they wrist
Now your girl on my line, yeah, you know she on my dick
Record labels know you weak, that's why you're soldin' your soul
Now you a slave and you think you got total control, woah
No doubt, everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your name, everybody's glad you came
But mad you changed and when you're, uh
Everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your song, everybody go along
You can do no wrong now
I've seen the best of both worlds, the good side, the bad
From no money to mo' money, then back to what I had
When you're number one, they pack the stadiums and scream loud
When you're number ten, they throwin' bottles at you from the crowd
And it's so wild 'cause them ladies, they don't want you no more
I guess it was that loot that made you so cute before
And fellas who used to dress like you and copy your slangs
Go from tryna be just like you to cursin' your name
Reversin' the game, I rather independently
Sell about a hundred thousand records at ten a piece
That's a quiet million that most rappers'll never see
Yet yap about on TV like them G-O-T-I-T
And it's funny to me, it oughta be
Y'all let this real shit flow through your arteries
Where your blood and water be, I know they would slaughter me
For the droppin' this verse, but
If I compromise my beliefs, my punishment's much worse
No doubt, everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your name, everybody's glad you came
But mad you changed and when you're, uh
Everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your song, everybody go along
You can do no wrong now
Never sellin' my soul, no compromisin' my worth
True king, diamond in the rough, I shine in the dirt
Promised my mother I'd deliver her from struggle and stress
No more waitin' on the mailman for government checks
Put my trust in my connect, he cut me loose with that pack
I think that money grow on trees the way we blew through that sack
I take the blame for the lyrics that I put on these beats
Felt the pain of the children that was took from the streets
I told Bo never lose hope, I felt you on my jokes
Interrogation, never choked, mouth closed, never spoke
My code of honor, never lackin' knowledge, never went to college
But escape the violence, money get buried, no safe deposit
Keep quiet, never broke my silence, real as I can be
Fuck a job, Big's hustled so hard, I get it out the streets
Ask my teacher, he'll tell you I'm his protégé for real
When you listen and pay attention
You're 'posed to make a mil', for real
No doubt, everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your name, everybody's glad you came
But mad you changed and when you're, uh
Everybody loves you when you're, uh
Nobody's thinkin' of you when you're on top of the world
Everybody knows your song, everybody go along
You can do no wrong now
