99 |
| They try and look me in the eyes and tell me |
| There ain't no prize to be won, no, no |
| No, I've been fighting for the top, I'm ready |
| All I know is I want it all, all |
| Yeah, it's time to pack |
| Luggage full of dreams with the tags still intact |
| But the plastic's still wrapped, I haven't opened it |
| With my feet up on a top floor screaming "Jesus" |
| But I want more, it's all good, though |
| This feel like that blow a pound with my dawgs on my Suge flow |
| They love me in the hood, so |
| Shout out Macivan spreading CD's round the discount mall like a virus |
| Bosses choking, hope your employees know how to do the Heimlich |
| Left the bullshit way behind like Kirk Hinrich |
| I'm the first of my kind, ain't no doubt about it |
| Slightly schizophrenic, I'm in the studio with myself |
| There's still a crowd around |
| Think I finally found the youth, it's in the truth |
| Since 50 rocked the vest, I had the juices |
| With my feet up on a top floor screaming “Jesus” |
| But I want more |
| I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out |
| Who you are is what you do, not what you say |
| I bring the bang out, bang out |
| Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo) |
| Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay) |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| Not to shoot for the sky would've been my biggest crime |
| Sifted through my teens, growing now, I got a dream going |
| People said you sick for believing so I sneezed on 'em |
| Spent the rest nights focused on the lights |
| Aim for the stars, cock back, open flight |
| Then I got caught, hot fingerprints on the shotgun |
| List of success suspects and I'm the top one |
| You could see me live, getting swifted |
| You could call my momma, if you ask, she'd admit that |
| Climbing from the bottom got grit and the fools take hits |
| But the shooter in the pit cause she fit |
| So please don't pity me, you see me holding keys |
| I always like to tease, won't be the bitch to appease |
| Soon the hoes come running and the checks start coming |
| But I'm in it for the height, not the summit (aye) |
| I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out |
| Who you are is what you do, not what you say |
| I bring the bang out, bang out |
| Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo) |
| Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay) |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| I was gonna shine |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| I was gonna shine |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| I was gonna shine |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| I was gonna shine |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| That I'd get real big, open up a few minds |
| I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| I was gonna shine |
