Rags to riches

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...
