Juicy
Woody x The Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics

Yeah, this album is dedicated
This album is dedicated to those who didn't believe in me and/or helped me in my journey to success.

To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
I remember all those teachers who doubted my abilities and claimed that my future was bleak.

To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
I remember the people who lived above the buildings I used to sell drugs outside of and who called the cops on me.

Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
People reported me to the police when I was selling drugs to support my daughter. It's okay now though.

And all the niggas in the struggle
I remember all the people who are struggling like I was.

It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
I used to read magazines about hip-hop and dream about being a successful rapper.

Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
I dreamed of being in a limousine with Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D.

Hangin' pictures on my wall
I used to hang pictures of famous rappers on my bedroom wall.

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

I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
I used to play my cassette tapes until they were worn out.

Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
I used to smoke weed and drink fancy alcohol brands like Bambu and Private Stock.

Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack, with the hat to match
I used to wear a hat that matched my red and black lumberjack shirt.

Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
I remember Rappin' Duke and his famous catchphrase 'Duh-ha, duh-ha'.

You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
No one ever imagined that hip-hop music would become as big as it is now.

Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
I'm famous now because I'm a skilled rapper.

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
It's time to make money and become as significant as the World Trade Center.

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
I was born into a life of sin and didn't have many opportunities.

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
I had sardines for dinner because I couldn't afford anything better.

Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
I want to give a shout-out to famous DJs Ron G, Brucie B, and Kid Capri.

Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
Also, shout-out to Funkmaster Flex and Lovebug Starski.

I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
I'm becoming famous, just like people thought I would.

Call the crib, same number, same hood
Even though I'm famous now, I still live in the same place and have the same phone number.

It's all good (it's all good)
I'm doing well, everything is good.

And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
If you weren't aware of my success before, you are now.

You know very well, who you are
You know exactly who you are.

Don't let 'em hold you down, reach for the stars
Don't let anyone hold you back; strive for greatness.

You had a goal, but not that many
You had a goal, but you didn't have many.

'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty
Because you're the only one who believed in me, I'll give you all the good things in life.

I made the change from a common thief, to up close and personal with Robin Leach
I changed my lifestyle from being a thief to being famous enough to be close to Robin Leach.

And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
I'm not cheap and I spend my time smoking weed with my friends all day.

Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Let's spread love in Brooklyn.

The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
Drinking Moët and Alizé keeps me intoxicated.

Girls used to diss me, now they write letters 'cause they miss me
Girls used to reject me and now they write letters because they miss me.

I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
I never thought I'd make it as a rapper.

I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
I used to focus on carrying guns and other illegal activities.

Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
Girls pursue me like I'm something desirable.

From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
My fame spreads from Mississippi to the East Coast.

Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
I own condos in Queens and have weeks' worth of weed.

Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
People eagerly buy tickets to hear me speak.

Livin' life without fear
I'm living my life without being afraid of anything.

Puttin' five karats in my baby girl's ear
I bought my daughter a five-karat diamond earring.

Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
I go to lunches, brunches, and interviews by the pool.

Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
People judge me because I didn't finish high school.

Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
People are quick to stereotype and misunderstand black men, including me.

And it's still all good
But despite that, everything is still good.

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
I enjoy playing video games on my Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles.

When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
When I was broke, I could never have imagined being where I'm at now.

50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
Now I have a 50-inch television and an extravagant, money-green leather sofa.

Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
I have two cars, including a limousine with a chauffeur.

Phone bill about two G's flat
My phone bill is around $2,000.

No need to worry, my accountant handles that
I don't have to worry about finances because my accountant takes care of everything.

And my whole crew is loungin'
Me and my entire crew are living the good life.

Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
We celebrate every day, as we don't live in public housing anymore.

Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
I look back on the time when I lived in a one-room shack.

Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
Now my mother drives a luxury car while wearing a mink coat.

And she loves to show me off, of course
My mother loves to show off to people that her son is famous.

Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
She smiles every time she sees me in The Source magazine.

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
We used to argue with our landlord when they disrespected us.

No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
We didn't have any heat and couldn't understand why Santa never visited us.

Birthdays was the worst days
My birthdays were the worst.

Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
Now we drink champagne whenever we're thirsty.

Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
I absolutely love the lifestyle I'm living now.

'Cause I went from negative to positive
I went from a negative lifestyle to a positive one.

And it's all (it's all good, nigga)
And everything is good now.

Representin' B-Town in the house
I want to represent Brooklyn in the music industry.

Junior Mafia, mad flavor
My crew, Junior Mafia, brings a unique style to the game.

Biggie Smalls, it's all good, nigga
Everything is good with me, Biggie Smalls.

Bad Boy, it's all good, nigga
Bad Boy record label is doing well.

It's all good
Everything is good.

That's right, '94
It's the year 1994.

And on and on, and on and on
And the story goes on and on.
