THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. – JUICY

Lyrics

Intro:
(fuck all you hoes) Get a grip motherfucker.
Yeah this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me
I'd never amount to nothin' to all the people that lived above the
buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on
me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter
and all the niggaz in the struggle you know what I'm sayin'?
Uh ha it's all good baby bay-bee, uh
It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood
It's all good
Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
Chorus:
You know very well who you are
Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
You had a goal, but not that many
'cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty
I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
Now honies play me close like butter play toast
From the Mississippi down to the east coast
Condos in Queens, endo for weeks
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Livin' life without fear
Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
And it's still all good
Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
chorus:
you know very well who you are
dont let em hold you down, reach for the stars
you had a goal, but not that many
'cause your the only one i'll give you good and plenty
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G's flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin'
Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all...
(It's all good)
...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
chorus:
you know very well who you are
dont let em hold you down, reach for the stars
you had a goal, but not that many
'cause your the only one i'll give you good and plenty
Uh, uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
Representin' B-Town in the house, Junior Mafia, mad flavor, uh
Uh, yeah, a-ight
chorus:
you know very well who you are
don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
you had a goal, but not that many
'cause your the only one i'll give you good and plenty MUTHA FUCKA

Paroles (Traduction)

Introduction :
(Salope, vous toutes) Prends-toi en main, enculé.
Ouais, cet album est dédié à tous les professeurs qui m'ont dit
que je ne deviendrais jamais rien, à toutes les personnes qui vivaient au-dessus des
bâtiments devant lesquels je faisais du trafic et qui appelaient la police
quand j'essayais simplement de gagner de l'argent pour nourrir ma fille
et à tous les gars dans la galère, tu vois ce que je veux dire ?
Uh ha, tout va bien bébé, uh
C'était tout un rêve
Je lisais le magazine Word Up
Salt'n'Pepa et Heavy D dans la limousine
Accrochant des photos sur mon mur
Chaque samedi, Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
Je laissais ma cassette tourner jusqu'à ce qu'elle saute
Fumant de l'herbe et du bambou, sirotant un stock privé
Il y a longtemps, quand j'avais la veste à carreaux rouge et noir
Avec le chapeau assorti
Rappelez-vous de Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
Tu n'as jamais pensé que le hip-hop irait si loin
Maintenant je suis sous les projecteurs parce que je rappe serré
Il est temps d'être payé, d'exploser comme le World Trade
Né pécheur, l'opposé d'un gagnant
Rappelez-vous quand je mangeais des sardines pour le dîner
Salutations à Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
Je m'envole comme tu pensais que je le ferais
J'appelle à la maison, même numéro, même quartier
Tout va bien
Uh, et si tu ne sais pas, maintenant tu sais, mec, uh
Refrain :
Tu sais très bien qui tu es
Ne te laisse pas abattre, vise les étoiles
Tu avais un but, mais pas beaucoup
Parce que tu es le seul à qui je donnerai beaucoup
J'ai changé, je suis passé d'un
