man i remember before i say that wait let me issue 
      C
this statement
no way should reflection be mistaking for glorification
now i remember so vivid me and my niggas was living
sub-standard condition still handling business
still laughing and tripping still having the bitches
im rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we did it
from trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand 
in the kitchen
splitting it eight ways flipping it 8 days
thought that wild and unruley was just the way to 
behave
kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made 
in all dimes
i aint lieing the pleasure was all mine
have big work to move but we served the small time
i always outshined the niggas with small minds
who would of thought we would be arguably the greatest 
of all time
around here we developed such a sound down here
but duplicate it off the steel it can only be found 
here
only listen to gs that other shit i dont hear
shit they so far in the rear how would i even care
im too busy being a player staring at niggas careers
but talk about it for years and now we finally here

and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top

they say what goes up must come down but i aint 
    C      C
reached my cruising altitude
take a look at what i did but can you imagine what im 
about to do
the places im bout to go and the money im bout to see
gave bill gates some binoculaurs and said look out for 
me
exceeded expectations even at def jam
cause i married the streets and atlanta has been my 
best man
my momma quit her job and now she works for six figures
cause im a self-made nappy-headed rich nigga
private planes help me travel in peace
to four cities in one day and four countries in one 
week
cause i work for myself and no one else cause im too 
smart too
put one of my partners right through culinary art 
school
now he my personal chef so that bread he get it
put them all in houses cleaned up all of my friends 
credit
and now they witness all the glitz and the glamour
catch us eating at straits atlanta with women with 
table manners
order in singapore and lobster
celebrating coming from nothing to winning grammys and 
rappers winning oscars
and they say rappers shouldnt act nahh suckers
we see samuel jackson like whats up mother f**kerrr

i know them haters dont stop plotting and wish you 
     C      C      C
would fall
cause im standing on top looking down at it all
from down there to yall it seem like I got it all homie
i aint get enough im still trying to triple up
so all we got is street cred and akoo building up
say im doing too much shit i say i aint did enough
remember saying damn if i could just get to a million 
plus
and now im like shit what the f**k is a million bucks
triple that on my bond thanks to bigs and ron
but nevermind what ive been through just look at what i
 become
all the shit ive avoided what i done for my sons
and daughters and momma just call her
i sold dope and dropped out of school seems its all 
they can see
they dont notice none of my family did that since me
i broke that cycle now my family live a life of
mandatory minimals but not when the judge sentence them
cousins in college where you think they get tuition 
from
just from standing around wishing huh
and while you standing around looking dumb
i make it happen taking action over time got damn good 
at it
