Now that I got dough in my pockets
And a whole lot of profit
Seems like everybody loves me
This feels great
Seems like everybody loves me
Round of applause for the cause
Thank you, thank you
Ch-chill
Used to treat me like the bad guy from Houston
In the media I was like Darth Vader
People turning like turntables
Stay crossing over like crossfaders
Try to switch up teams like ball players
So our enemies are like our neighbors
Keep ′em close, yeah very close
Most of my folks are still on papers
You can work or you can have the work
But we making more than all of y'all wages
Motivation makes hustlers make it
So we successful cause y′all made us
Used to not give a flying F
When they greeted us with that one finger
Whole world jumped on the tail
When we hit the switch and sat on swangers
Hit the hood they say y'all famous
Grinding hard so we could ball later
They be like damn that boy made it
If they say I didn't that′s wrong data
Approach the broad but try to say I′m fraud
See me pull that wad and that broad changes
Calling to me she wanna be on the team
And now she mad cause I'm ignoring pagers
Boys thinking that they can serve me
Y′all acting like y'all waiters
Same ones that used to walk past
When we was underground but now we on majors
Keep speaking begging for a beating
I tell the streets to do that boy a favor
Turn him purple, blue and red all flavors
I got a message for all haters
Headed to the top and it ain′t no way to stop it
And I sure ain't forgot when everybody used to judge me
Now that I got dough in my pockets
And a whole lot of profit
Seems like everybody loves me
I know you like my style
I know you like my style
Know you love the way I put it down
I made it through the hating
So when you see me shining
Give me a standing ovation
I was bouncing back like ping pong
Rhyme became a new theme song
Beating on my chest like I′m King Kong
When I broke the record for the ringtones
You ever seen a platinum plaque
That look like that if you seen wrong
Better sit back and relax
Cause my platinum reign is gonna seem long
And I don't blame boys for hating
Cause they wasn't patient and they didn′t know the plan
I knew that something had to shake
And it was gonna bubble like a Coca-Cola can
And I shook it up like a soda can
My wallet is overflowing man
Now my potential′s unlimited
Like the minutes on my Motorola plan
Accountants and lawyers
I got big business managers
Camillitary is the enterprise
Is you ready to ride? Is you a fan of what?
Sound scanning in Africa
Sound scanning in Canada
We don't play, yeah VMAs
It can′t get any better can it huh?
And I know it's hard to stay humble
They really thought I threw a fumble
I could′ve caught that through the trees
By running right into the jungle
Could've been Lil′ Muggsy B
Trying to back into Mutombo
Would've still been a victory for me
You win then they'll say they love you
I know you like my style
I know you like my style
Know you love the way I put it down
I made it through the hating
So when you see me shining
Give me a standing ovation
Let′s give a cheers (Give ′em cheers)
To everyone who thought I'd disappear
Thought that every word I said
Was a subliminal shot to disappear
Now I′m in a different gear
No beef, no hate, no dissing here
You must've been drunk to doubt me
You obviously didn′t miss a beer
I used to argue 'bout everything
With folks that just didn′t hear
Realized I was wasting words
Like whispering in a missing ear
I say it good and real
They telling me it isn't clear
My two eyes just didn't tear
Cause weakness is what I didn′t feel
It′s a better result than last time
But this grind it's a different year
I really should be commended
For what I′ve accomplished
Give a cheer
No matter of fact I take that back
Hold your applause for the sequel
We haven't gotten to the part where they try to cheat you
Haha, chill
