Juicy
Frank Sinatra/Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics

Fuck all you hoes! Get a grip, motherfucker!
Addressing the people who never believed in him

Yeah, this album is dedicated
The album is dedicated to reaching out to those who share his story

To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
Acknowledgment of doubters who never believed he'd become successful

To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
Reference to the people he used to hustle in front of their building

Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
A reflection of his past struggles

And all the niggas in the struggle
Uplifting those going through similar struggles as he once did

You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby
Hopeful for a better future while acknowledging the past

It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
Reflecting back when he was younger and had a dream to become successful

Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Referencing influential musicians that inspired him

Hangin' pictures on my wall
Decorating his living quarters to his liking

Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
Listening to the radio show dedicated to the hip hop and rap music genre

I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Listening to the music until the cassette tape ran out of space

Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
Partaking in recreational activities with friends

Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
Recalling the type of clothing he used to wear in the past

With the hat to match
The hat he used to wear with the clothing mentioned above

Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
Referencing an influential rapper in hip-hop culture

You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
Acknowledging how hip-hop music has come such a long way

Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Currently enjoying success due to his good music abilities

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Achieved tremendous success and became very rich

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Born in a negative, difficult environment but turned it around

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Recalling the poor eating habits from the past, now in a better financial position to enjoy better meals

Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
Acknowledging influential people in his life

Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
More influential figures who helped shape him

I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Becoming famous as people predicted he would become

Call the crib, same number, same hood
Despite becoming famous, still remaining connected to his roots and staying where he grew up

It's all good (it's all good)
Despite past struggles, everything is good now

And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
Making himself known and up and coming for those who were unaware

You know very well
Addressing his current audience

Who you are
Letting people know that he knows and understands them

Don't let 'em hold you down
Encouraging people to stand up and pursue their goals

Reach for the stars
Aiming high to achieve greatness

You had a goal
Don't give up on your aspirations

But not that many
Not many people have the motivation to realize their goals

Cause you're the only one
Belief in oneself is highly important to achieve the goal you set

I'll give you good and plenty
Providing others with advice for success

I made the change from a common thief
Reflecting on his past stealing history and switching to a better life path

To up close and personal with Robin Leach
Becoming famous and well-known

And I'm far from cheap
Willing to invest in himself and his future

I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Hanging out with close friends and enjoying time together

Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Promoting love as his policy for how to approach life

The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
Enjoying drinks in celebration of his success

Girls used to diss me
Recalling previous romantic rejections

Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
Receiving correspondence now after becoming successful

I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
Grateful for all his success stemming from his rapping career

I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
A reflection on his past violent tendencies

Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
People showing him more attention and respect now

From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
Growing in popularity across the southern, eastern portion of the United States

Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
Living in luxury in Queens and bringing his own supplies

Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Tickets to his performances sell out quickly

Livin' life without fear
Living comfortably with no fears of his past life

Puttin' five karats in my baby girl's ear
Spoiling his daughter since he can afford to

Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
Enjoyment of a luxurious lifestyle

Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Many people thought little of him for dropping out of school, but he's become highly successful regardless

Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
People misunderstand the true nature of what it means to be a successful Black man

And it's still all good
Despite being misunderstood, everything's still positive

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
Enjoying leisure time with popular gaming systems at home

When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
His past life couldn't have prepared him for his current life

50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
Sitting on a money green couch while watching TV

Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Driving around in style and comfort

Phone bill about two G's flat
The telephone bill costs two grand flat - easily payable for him

No need to worry, my accountant handles that
The responsibility of handling finances has been delegated to his accountant

And my whole crew is loungin'
Those he associates with are also living luxuriously

Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
Enjoys life to the fullest every day, no longer living in public housing

Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Members of the house reflecting on his past tiny living space

Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
Happy that he can now provide luxuries to his mother, like a very nice car and mink coat

And she loves to show me off of course
She's proud of his success and shares it with others

Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
She's particularly proud any time he's featured in The Source magazine

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
Remembering disputes or arguments with an unpleasant past landlord

No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Reflecting on days they were without heat and gifts on Christmas

Birthdays was the worst days
Poverty made birthdays unpleasant

Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
Enjoying the good life and a good drink when desired

Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
Proud of the accomplishments he's achieved

'Cause I went from negative to positive
Overcoming hardships and achieving success feels great

And it's all (It's all good, nigga)
Referring to the idea that all the negative past situations are done and over with, and everything is going well now

Representin' B-Town in the house
Proudly representing Bedford-Stuyvesant

Junior Mafia, mad flavor
Attribution to individuals who have helped him along the way

Biggie Smalls, it's all good, nigga
Referring to himself and his song in a positive light

Junior Mafia, it's all good, nigga
Acknowledging his team's contribution to his success

Bad Boy, it's all good, nigga
Acknowledging the Bad Boy team's contribution to his success

It's all good
Everything's going well

That's right, '94
The year the song was released

And on and on, and on and on
The party goes on and on
