Big Ali Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Wooh
Yeah,
Start game wit that homie
Drivin' champion in the Building
Young CO let's go;
Wooh, One world...
Young chapelin in the building,
Medecin,
I just stepped off a jet; Fresh from the wide;
Who would ever imagine I would be so fly,
Maybe said me, my hunger's so deep...
I just love music no eat, no sleep!
I never liked school; Never really focused;
In the classroom writing ryhmes in my notebook,
Daddy told me: Education was key,
So I learnt to engineer and make beats...
Graduated high-school one year late,
And now I look back; I guess it was fate!
1995 started to direction,
Worldfamous venice quads, yeah; a conception...
Couldn't keep a job, I'd only got tense,
And that's around the time when I met Mr 'vince.
Tell 'em I'm a rider so what's it gon' be?
Can I run wit you, carry your craze for free;
You be sayin'

I can see your hunger, hunger for me (real me)
Baby boy, it's just so easy, easy to see,
All I want is all your rapture; rapture for me...
What is there gonna be? Baby give it to me!

I can see your hunger...
(All the ladies in the spot
Get money, Get money)
I can see your hunger...
(All the fellas in the spot
Get money, Get money)

Mad, how we got the ball rollin'; It ain't gon' stop,
Give it all I've got, till I reach the top:
I'm the new young boss, come an' get familiar;
Everywhere I go, they like alafilla
Keep making hits, Keep getting rich,
Keep saying: putcha hands up, That's that shit!
You all niggaz waist time, I'm on my grind,
And won't let another nigga black my shine!
I came to get more, you all set out for less;
Big Ali World Tour; Travel in private jets...
I've got a cheddar fetish, You could call me a feen;
Cos everyday I wake up I think about the green;
I think about the Euro, I think about the Pounds,
I think about some new ways to rock crowds,
You hear my stomach ground, I push it to the limit;
Cos this ain't a song, this is the life I'm livin';
Feel Me!

I can see your hunger, hunger for me,
Baby boy, it's just so easy; easy to see,
All I want is all your rapture; rapture for me...
What is there gonna be? Baby give it to me!

I can see your hunger...
(All the ladies in the spot
Get money, Get money)
I can see your hunger...
(All the fellas in the spot
Get money, Get money)
