Juicy
The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Snoop Dogg Nate Dogg Fabolous & Busta Rhymes Lyrics

Yea, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothing
The album is dedicated to all my doubters and naysayers who thought I wouldn't make it in life

To all the people that lived above the Buildings that I was hustling in front of that called the police on Me when I was just trying to make some money to feed my daughter
Shoutout to the people who called the cops on me when I was just trying to earn a living to provide for my child

And all the niggas in the struggle, you know what I'm saying?
This one's for all my homies who are still fighting and going through tough times

It was all a dream
I couldn't have imagined this life for myself

I used to read Word Up magazine
I used to read magazines and dream about being successful in life

Salt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
I used to look up to Salt n Pepa and Heavy D and dream about riding in a limousine like them

Hangin pictures on my wall
I used to put posters of my idols on my bedroom wall

Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I used to listen to Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, and Marley Marl on the radio every Saturday

I let my tape rock til my tape popped
I used to listen to my tapes until they stopped working

Smokin weed and Bambu, sippin on Private Stock
I used to smoke weed and drink Private Stock while listening to music

Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack With the hat to match
I used to wear my red and black lumberjack jacket with a matching hat

Remember Rappin Duke? duh-ha, duh-ha
I used to listen to Rappin Duke and his signature 'duh-ha, duh-ha' catchphrase

You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Nobody expected hip hop to become such a global phenomenon

Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight
Now I'm in the spotlight because of my tight rhymes

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Now it's time to make money and become as big as the World Trade Center

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
I was born into a life of sin and had to fight to become a winner

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
I used to eat sardines for dinner because I couldn't afford anything else

Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski (wassup)
Shoutout to all the legendary DJs who have supported me along the way

I'm blowin up like you thought I would
I'm becoming successful and famous just as everyone predicted

Call the crib, same number same hood (that's right) It's all good (it's aaalll good)
My phone number and my neighborhood may be the same, but everything else has changed for the better

And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
If you weren't aware of my success yet, you know it now

You know very well who you are
You know who you are and what you're capable of

Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
Don't let anyone bring you down and aim high to reach your goals

You had a few, but not that many
You may have experienced some setbacks, but not too many

Cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty
The one I love is special and deserves the best

I made the change from a common thief To up close and personal with Robin Leach
I went from being a criminal to being featured on Robin Leach's show about the lifestyles of the rich and famous

And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
I'm not cheap and I enjoy smoking weed with my friends while also promoting love and positivity

The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
Drinking Moet and Alize gets me drunk

Girls used to diss me Now they write letters cause they miss me
Women who didn't show interest in me before are now writing letters because they miss me

I never thought it could happen, this rappin stuff
I never thought I could make a career out of rapping

I was too used to packin GATs and stuff
I was more familiar with handling guns than writing raps

Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
Now women are attracted to me and want to be close to me

From the Mississippi down to the east coast
My music is now popular all across the country

Condos in Queens, indo for weeks Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
I own condos in Queens and my shows are always sold out

Livin life without fear
I'm living life confidently without any fears or doubts

Puttin 5 karats in my baby girl's ears
I'm able to give my daughter expensive jewelry as a gift

Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
I enjoy fancy meals, brunches, and interviews by the pool

Considered a fool cause I dropped out of high school
Some people might think I'm foolish for dropping out of high school

Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood And it's still all good
Black men are often misunderstood by society, but I'm still doing well

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
I used to dream about owning a Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis when I didn't have any money

Fifty inch screen, money green leather sofa Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Now I have a large TV and a fancy leather couch, as well as two cars, one being a limousine with a driver

Phone bill about two G's flat No need to worry, my accountant handles that
My phone bill is around $2000, but I trust my accountant to take care of it

And my whole crew is lounging Celebrating every day, no more public housing
My friends and I are all doing well and no longer live in public housing

Thinking back on my one-room shack Now my mom pimps a Ac with minks on her back
Looking back on when I lived in a one-room shack, now my mother drives a fancy car and wears fur

And she loves to show me off, of course Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
My mother is proud of my success and enjoys showing me off whenever I'm featured in a magazine like The Source

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
We used to argue with our landlord when he mistreated us and it was hard to have a good Christmas without heat

Birthdays was the worst days Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Birthdays used to be the worst days, but now we celebrate with champagne

Uh, damn right I like the life I live Cause I went from negative to positive And it's all (It's all good)
I love my life now because I went from a negative situation to a positive one

Aand if you don't know, now you know, nigga
In case you didn't know before, now you know that I'm doing well and succeeding in life
