The Notorious B.I.G.
"Juicy"

It was all a dream
I use 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 Marlly Mar

I let my tape rock
Till my tape pop
Smokin' weed and bambo
Sipin' on private stock

Way back
When I had the red and black
Lumberjack;
With the hat to match

When remember rappin do
The high, the high
You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far

Now I'm the lime light
Cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid
Blow up like the World Trade

A born sinner
The opposite of a winner
Remember when I use to eat sardines for dinner

Peace to Ron G, Brucee B, Kid Capri,
Funk Master Flex, Love Puff Starski

I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Callin' the crib same number, same hood
It's all good

And if you don't know
Now you know nigga

Chorus:
You know very well
Who you are
Don't let 'em hold you down
Reach for the stars

You gotta a goal
We're not that many
Cause you're the only one
I give you good and plenty

Song:
I made the change from a common thief
To 'Up Close and Personal" with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap
I smoke blunts with my peeps all day
Spread love it's the Brooklyn way

And Alaze keep my pissy
Girls use to dis me
Now they write letters cause they miss me

I never thought it could happen
This rappin stuff
I was to use to
Packin' gats 'n' stuff

Now honeys play me close
Like butter plays toast
From the Mississippi
Down to the East Coast

Condos in Queens
Indo for weeks
Sold out seats
To hear Biggie Smalls speak

Livin' life without fear
Puttin' 5-karts in my baby girl ear
Lunches, brunches interviews by the pool
Considered a fool
Cause I dropped out of high school

Sterotypes of a black male misunderstood
And it's still all good

And if you don't know
Now you know nigga

Chorus

Super Nintendo, Sega Genisis
When I was dead broke
Man, I couldn't picture this

50 inch screen
Money green
Leather soafs
Got 2 rides
A limosuine with a chauffer

Phone bill about 2Gs flat
No need to worry
My accountant handles that

And my whole crew was loungin'
Celebratin' everyday
No more public housin'

Thinkin' back
On my one room shack
Now my mom pimp acts
With minks on her back

And she loves to show me off of course
Smiles every time my face is up in "Source"
We use to fuse
When the landlord dised us
No heat
Wonder why Christmas missed us

Birthdays were the worse days
Now we sip champagne when we thirsty

Damn right I like the way I live
Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all ...

And if you don't know
Now you know nigga

2 x Chorus
