| I was waiting by the door, then I entered
|
| And it was by the great Paul C I was mentored
|
| A lot of f-flash and cash been tended
|
| That was a new day when the ones who invented
|
| The game is getting overshadowed by lame
|
| Executives, but I remain in the record biz
|
| Twenty-some odd years and still counting
|
| Could build a mountain with one hand and fill a fountain
|
| Of youth with the other, my brother
|
| Don’t disrespect me, I was on TV
|
| When they was in diapers, we was in nightclubs
|
| Didn’t care about marketing or hype cause
|
| It was all natural, laying them tracks dude
|
| For you to ride on, I’ll click a firearm
|
| On anybody that’s trying to divide our culture
|
| Remember these few words I quote you
|
| You’re new train running the ole route
|
| Just ask them old G’s what it’s all about
|
| Been there, blowing smoke in the air
|
| Money, women, cars everywhere
|
| They want the 90s, we give em 90s
|
| In the 90s, live to 90s
|
| In the 90s, we live to 90s
|
| Was the 90s in the 90s
|
| Anytime I land safely, I feel eight feet tall
|
| Give my thanks to God and recall
|
| What the right brothers did for us, indigenous
|
| With North Carolina, we all got a finer
|
| Thing to be grateful for
|
| Like a sign of the times, or a 9 to 5, or an 8 to 4
|
| I’m Paid in Full, Eric B. and Rakim
|
| Thankful no one is telling me to lock in
|
| From a block in the Q I bring you
|
| Out of the darkness with more hot product
|
| In honor of those before, E Pluribus Unum
|
| We used to lash out and goon em
|
| But now we more civilized for the enterprise
|
| Got the milkshake, burger, and the fries
|
| We need to analyze how this world got spoiled
|
| And give thanks to those that’s before you |
