A quick story from rags to riches

Comin' to you from Supernova (AKA Left Eye)

Give it to 'em, give it to 'em, give it to 'em (ha ha)

I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches (ha ha ha ha)

I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches (ha ha ha ha)

I started off as an army brat (Atten-hut!)

Seven months old class act

I was racing down the block

As a matter of fact

I could've been a track star (I guess I am)

I stacked bars

Comin' through your system in them phat cars (uh)

Cross country isn't that far

It's like I'm in the race, don't know who you cats are

See one day I fell from grace, landed in this place

My innocence erased from talkin' back to my momma's face

Like I was lost in space

Without a trace, cuttin' class, bein' Mrs. Fast Ass

Gettin' blasted with my dad, got caught up in the flash

My Nana goin' straight mad, had to make the dash

Saw a fella through the streets

Who would give anything for cash

And anything to crash in anybody's path

If everything I had

Look at what I could grab (check it)

And it was just a bunch of niggas

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

Ding ding the bell ring, landlord causin' a scene

Mama diggin' for her green, last dolla (dolla bill)

To pay for the phone bill, electric bill, water bill

How you feel when you make a mill?

And move your mama to a house on the hill

With picture framed TV's on the wall

Hard and I'm pissed when she wanna ball

A cell phone for when she wanna call

She ballin' out of control

With her own bank roll, I got her back though

One for the money and two for the show

Mama floors stayin' clean 600 green outside

Showin' them the many ways that God provides in life

Or who can see the bigger picture

And tell a story from goin' dead broke to gettin' richer

Knowin' I'm gettin' with you in this paper chase

Rags to riches all up in your face

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I remember sellin' weed

Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk

Now I let my throat be the antidote

Always kept my hopes high

Now mama don't cry, 'cause I'll be close by

With the most high I was playin' Robin Hood (in the hood)

Little Red Riding Hood

Til' the barrel pointed where I stood (yeah, I stood)

But walked away like I was absolutely positively sure I could

Attitude on drugs

A few dollars in the bucket

And scheming steady dreaming

For a chance to make some duckets

Caused a little ruckus on the sideline

From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day

Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday

Ran away from the sickness with a quickness

And went from rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm goin' from rags to riches

From rags to riches

I'm goin' from rags to riches

I bet you I'mma be the richest

I'm lovin' everybody that's tryin' to get it from rags to riches

From nuttin' to somethin' (ha ha right)

You know what I'm sayin'

I'm nuttin' but a quickie story from rags to riches

To all my mournin' ghetto superstars out there

Much love!

I'm backin' everybody, East coast, West coast, the Midwest

Everything you know what I'm sayin', it's all hip hop

Much love!

We all came from rags and went to riches

And the ones that's still messin' with them rags

You know what I'm sayin'

Keep your head up (know what I'm sayin')

Somethin' bound to happen

For sure though...
