Beautiful
Masta Ace Lyrics

Listen, I got a lot to say (yeah)
I have important things to express that I want to share with others.

Usually my smile stay locked away
I tend to keep my emotions hidden and do not often show joy on my face.

On the real the Aftermath's kind of ill like I'm Dr. Dre
The Aftermath, a reference to Dr. Dre's production company, is impressive and noteworthy as a musical entity.

Sometimes I run to the club and get faded
Occasionally, I participate in recreational activities that involve drinking or drug use in a nightclub setting.

It's funny how you get jaded, I just hate it (just hate it)
It is ironic how people can become cynical or disillusioned with certain experiences. I do not appreciate that feeling and wish it did not exist.

But this song gives a different kind of feelin'
However, this particular song brings about an entirely new and unique feeling.

It's a new kind of dealin', it's a special kind of healin' (uh huh)
It is a novel way of coping with my emotions, and it brings about a specific kind of relief and comfort.

And I can show what it is
I am willing and able to demonstrate what this feeling is like for others.

Best flow in the biz? You know what it is
I possess the most impressive and distinct style of rapping in the music industry, and everyone knows it.

Positive over negative, see the Ace a Masta
I prioritize positivity over negativity, as evidenced through my music. This is what makes me an expert in my field.

Even when I face disaster (that's right)
Even in the face of adversity or difficult situations, I remain resilient and continue to create music that is uplifting and hopeful.

I rise up above
I am able to overcome obstacles and challenges through my perseverance and dedication to my craft.

See, people still showin' me love
Despite any hardships or obstacles, my fans and supporters continue to show me appreciation and admiration for my work.

Get the respect without droppin' a check
I am able to garner respect and admiration from others without resorting to paying them off or bribing them.

This hip hop thing might stop in a sec
The rap music industry could quickly come to an end if people lose interest or new developments in technology and culture disrupt it.

So this brand new ish, you can pop in the deck
Therefore, this fresh and innovative music that I am releasing should be played and enjoyed while it lasts.

Yeah, this is brand new Uptown still in the box
This is a new and exciting aspect of urban culture that has not yet been fully explored or appreciated by the masses.

This is the Yankees, ten-nothin', killin' the Sox
This is like the feeling of being on top and superior to others, like the New York Yankees baseball team when they are dominating their opponents.

This ain't huggin' the block wit' a gat in ya hand
This is not about participating in gang or criminal activity on the streets while holding a firearm.

This is on the Catamaran (that's right)
This is a new and exciting adventure or possibility, like being on a luxurious boat in the middle of the ocean.

With the sun beamin' down while you sat in the sand
Picture a calming and peaceful moment of relaxation on the beach with the sun shining down upon you.

I feel like I'm more than a cat wit' a plan
I feel that I have more than just a basic understanding of what is possible and can achieve great things in my life.

This feels like it's more than a flash in the pan
This new endeavor or experience is not just a temporary or fleeting moment that will soon be forgotten or dismissed.

This is milk in the cup and cash in ya hand
This is a positive and satisfying experience, like having both a refreshing drink and money in your possession.

This is a warm coat on the coldest night
This is a source of comfort and protection from the harsh realities of life during difficult times.

That's why I stole this mic, y'all don't hold this right (nope)
That is why I took control of the microphone and am delivering this message in the way that I feel is best. You all are not doing it justice.

First in a class of many
I am the first and most unique musician in a long line of other talented individuals in the music industry.

This is a bottle of Jack and a glass of Henny (that's right)
This is the feeling of indulgence and pleasure that one experiences when drinking both Jack Daniels and Hennessy together.

Now drink it up 'til there ain't nothin' left in it
Now, savor this moment and the experience until it is over and gone.

I'm reppin' it, BK, that's a definite
I am representing Brooklyn, New York, in a way that is strong and unmistakable.

There's more of these amazing rhymes
There are many more incredible lyrics and musical creations that I have yet to share with the world.

A song like this in these days and times is beautiful
In the current climate of fear and uncertainty, music like this can be seen as a beautiful and inspiring force that can bring joy and comfort to people's lives.

(I'm wishin' on and on and on} The most beautiful thing ever
I am hoping and dreaming for something that is truly beautiful and meaningful to me, perhaps even beyond my current understanding.

And it's here to bring terror to the bling era (yeah)
This new and exciting music is here to shake up the current trend of shallow materialism and excess that has overtaken the music industry.

You can feel it in ya inner
This sensation is not just something you can hear or see, but also feel deep within your soul.

It's like Grandma's house, Thanksgiving dinner
This feeling is comforting and familiar, like being surrounded by loved ones and enjoying a big feast during a holiday celebration.

It's like a day in the park
It is reminiscent of a happy and carefree day spent outdoors in a public park, enjoying life's simple pleasures.

Or at night when you get the ball and you play in the dark (swish)
It's like playing basketball at night, moving swiftly and confidently in the darkness, scoring a point with a satisfying swish.

It's that street corner music
This is the kind of music that speaks to the soul of the streets and the experiences of those who grew up there.

Where most cats when they pull that heat go and use it
This is a reference to the unfortunate reality of gun violence in certain neighborhoods, when people resort to using firearms to settle disputes with one another.

I see a black man aimin' his gun
This is a reflection on the violence and injustice that people of color often face in their communities, including the use of guns for dangerous and destructive purposes.

But I'd rather see a black man claimin' his son
However, I believe that it is much more important and fulfilling to see black men taking responsibility for their children and their families instead of resorting to violence and aggression.

You know the sound is pretty
This music is not just meaningful in its lyrics, but has an aesthetically appealing quality to it as well.

Even when you got to get down and gritty
Even when times are tough and the subject matter is dark or difficult, this music continues to be impactful and beautiful.

This is money in the bank like you down wit' Diddy
This is a successful and profitable endeavor, like the impression that one is associated with prominent music producer, Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

This a helicopter ride around the city
This is a metaphor for a thrilling and awe-inspiring experience, such as riding in a helicopter above a bustling cityscape.

And we love it 'cause it brought us here
We love this music and this experience because it has led us to this moment of joy and appreciation.

It's like a young mother braidin' her daughter's hair
This is a touching and heartfelt moment of intimacy and love between a mother and her child, and reflects the beauty of human connection that this music aims to convey.

It's beautiful
All of these experiences and sensations come together to create something indescribably beautiful and meaningful.
