Hard Work Pays Off

The year was 1999, where 2 young men at rocking term found'Ђ¦

Who you all know now as the world'Ђ™s famous'Ђ¦

I remember when they said you won'Ђ™t make it

Now I'Ђ™m getting mine you can'Ђ™t take it away

So that you see that all my hard work is paying off

If I see them now what would they have to say?

What would say now?

I started out rapping right around 9 years old

55 'Ђ¦ street, dice they rolldI kick a freestyle

While they like they bones, og'Ђ™s used to tell me that they like my tone

I used to zone out, back when life was cold

Around the time that my mom played my father'Ђ™s role

And cars I drove, moved every year, new schools

Wishing for new shoes, never mind 'Ђ¦

Started to rap truth, me and my cousins,

Shopping my little demos, rocking them instrumental

Hooked up with style, they started out 3d

A couple years later, we started 'Ђ¦

Man, how they handle'Ђ¦when they heard that in term

Just teenagers out rhyming veterans

Got a little rapping to be, how we torn down shows

And we was only like 18, finally I did a track with 'Ђ¦

All the sudden magazines like how I speak, showing off, we coming up

82 now we blowing up, it'Ђ™s static on it'Ђ™s way too

'Ђ¦ and all the hate I received from the local cats

You can give me that but you can'Ђ™t take it back

It'Ђ™s show off, 'Ђ¦ homie, we run it

I know it'Ђ™s hard to stomach on the rear

I remember when they said you won'Ђ™t make it

Now I'Ђ™m getting mine you can'Ђ™t take it away

So that you see that all my hard work is paying off

If I see them now what would they have to say?

What would say now?

It'Ђ™s st, nah, say it loud my brother'Ђ¦

Man I'Ђ™m so proud of my brother,

Remember way back when you said your flow was whack

Now you did been around the globe and back

Same cats trying to hold you back

Will see you on the streets now like yo your flow is crack

Started out them 2 kids from streets

Now you doing the thing, I gotta admit it'Ђ™s bitter sweet

But we more than a group, we a family,

So Eddie don'Ђ™t stay'Ђ¦ for Danny

And fuck rap homie, we go back

Almost died when I heard you got a primo track

And I learned the hard way the street shit will get you nowhere

Gotta put in that work if you gonna go there

And now you opening them doors for me little brother

Let'Ђ™s put it on so they all can see, come on

I remember when they said you won'Ђ™t make it

Now I'Ђ™m getting mine you can'Ђ™t take it away

So that you see that all my hard work is paying off

If I see them now what would they have to say?

What would say now?
