Juicy Video (MV)

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hanging pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr magic
Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed in Bambú
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
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number, same hood
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
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 rapping stuff
I was too used to packing gats 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
And if you don't know, now 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'
Celebrating every day, no more public housing
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps an 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
Damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And if you don't know, now 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
