Once upon a time, in a tower so high
Higher than the sunshine, unsigned I
Threw my name on a stack fatter than the back
Side of my bonita applebum, and that’s a fact

I put my name on it
I put my team on it
You put a semi automatic to my dream on it
Threw my hands up to the ceiling
Wowowow yeyeye

Die to do it do or die hallelujah como vai
You can run but you can’t hide
I’m like na na na in a ménage à trois
Take a bite of the de-evils pie
Didn’t mean any harm, so don’t ring di alarm
Oh what goes around comes around
I be rocking the casbah, don’t mess with this badman
Settin contract on fiyah
Common

I put my name on it
I put my team on it
You put a semi automatic to my dream on it
Threw my hands up to the ceiling
Wowowow yeyeye

Turn on the processor, professor, gold-digger, go getters
Spaceship to Madison square
I’m like one nine nine two, back when I came through
(When) my future wasn’t crystal clear
With these crooks and thieve you know looks deceive
But, Karma’s a hoe till the end – end – end
We are one in a million, sound of rebellion
Ain’t a label on earth that I fear
Common

I was hanging on the edge
Bout to yell Geronimo
Thinking bout the final bow
To my friends I made a vow
I’m not ready, for the ending
I remembered who I was

Once upon a time, in a tower so high
Higher than the sunshine, unsigned I
Threw my name on a stack
Fatter than the back
Side of my bonita applebum, and that’s a fact
Million dollar smile and a big cigar
Sugar-coated lies never take you far
Sugar-coated lies never take you far
