Notorious Lyrics

Yea, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told meI'd never amount to nothing, to all the people that lived above theBuildings that I was hustling in front of that called the police onMe when I was just trying to make some money to feed my daughterAnd all the niggas in the struggle, you know what I'm saying?
I am dedicating this album to all those who did not believe in me, the teachers who thought I would never succeed and the people who lived in the areas where I used to hustle and even called the police on me when I was just trying to take care of my child. This is also dedicated to all those who are struggling to make it.

It was all a dreamI used to read Word Up magazineSalt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousineHangin pictures on my wallEvery Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley MarlI let my tape rock til my tape poppedSmokin weed and Bambu, sippin on Private StockWay back, when I had the red and black lumberjackWith the hat to matchRemember Rappin Duke? duh-ha, duh-haYou never thought that hip hop would take it this farNow I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tightTime to get paid, blow up like the World TradeBorn sinner, the opposite of a winnerRemember when I used to eat sardines for dinnerPeace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid CapriFunkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski (wassup)I'm blowin up like you thought I wouldCall the crib, same number same hood (that's right)It's all good (it's aaalll good)And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
My personal and musical success seemed like an impossible dream but I made it through the struggles to reach my current position. I reminisce about my humble beginnings and the music that inspired me. I never thought I could make it this far in the hip hop genre but with my proficiency, it's time to reap the benefits of my success. Many didn't think it was possible but now that I am in the limelight and doing better than before, all is good. And if you didn't know about me then, you certainly do now.

You know very well who you areDon't let em hold you down, reach for the starsYou had a few, but not that manyCause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty
I know who you are and you should never give up or let anyone discourage you. Always aim for the top because you deserve the best. Although there may be a few naysayers, I'm here to support you and provide you with plenty of motivation.

I made the change from a common thiefTo up close and personal with Robin LeachAnd I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all daySpread love, it's the Brooklyn wayThe Moet and Alize keep me pissyGirls used to diss meNow they write letters cause they miss meI never thought it could happen, this rappin stuffI was too used to packin GATs and stuffNow honeys play me close like butter play toastFrom the Mississippi down to the east coastCondos in Queens, indo for weeksSold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speakLivin life without fearPuttin 5 karats in my baby girl's earsLunches, brunches, interviews by the poolConsidered a fool cause I dropped out of high schoolStereotypes of a black male misunderstoodAnd it's still all goodUh, and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
I used to be a common thief but now I'm up close with people like Robin Leach. I'm not cheap and spend my day smoking and hanging out with my friends. I spread love the Brooklyn way and the fine drinks like Moet and Alize often make me drunk. Girls who used to reject me now want me back and even write me letters. I never thought I could be a successful rapper and was too used to carrying guns and living life as a thug. But now, people eagerly come to listen to me perform and I am living in luxury. I'm even able to provide a comfortable life for my family. People may view me as a fool for dropping out of high school but that's just a stereotype of black men that is often misunderstood. Even with all that, everything is still good with me and if you don't know about it yet, you do now.

Super Nintendo, Sega GenesisWhen I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture thisFifty inch screen, money green leather sofaGot two rides, a limousine with a chauffeurPhone bill about two G's flatNo need to worry, my accountant handles thatAnd my whole crew is loungingCelebrating every day, no more public housingThinking back on my one-room shackNow my mom pimps a Ac with minks on her backAnd she loves to show me off, of courseSmiles every time my face is up in The SourceWe used to fuss when the landlord dissed usNo heat, wonder why Christmas missed usBirthdays was the worst daysNow we sip champagne when we thirst-ayUh, damn right I like the life I liveCause I went from negative to positiveAnd it's all(It's all good)Aand if you don't know, now you know, nigga
I used to be so broke, I never thought I could have a luxurious lifestyle with two fancy rides, limousines with drivers, and a 50 inch screen. My fellow crew members and I all celebrate and rejoice that we no longer have to live in public housing. Back in the day when we were struggling, we often bickered with the landlord about many issues such as the lack of heat during Christmas. Life was pretty miserable then but now, we can afford champagne to quench our thirst. I truly love my current situation because I was able to turn my negativity into positivity. Everything is all good and if you had no idea before, now you do.
