Laah, di-dah, da-da-dee-dah |

His first single was a overnight success hit |
| [01:41.43] |
And now he went from wearing rags to the best fits |
| [01:44.28] |
All his new acquitances,gassed his head,takin' it |
| [01:47.28] |
To the point where he lost proper perspective |
| [01:50.28] |
Started cuttin' off the people,he came up wit |
| [01:53.24] |
Ego blown like his soul had been abducted |
| [01:56.36] |
Though his heart was once real,now material has filled |
| [01:59.51] |
Up his world,and he couldn't get enough of it |
| [02:02.77] |
Used to wanna be the best of the rap dons |
| [02:05.38] |
Now his only one concern is goin' platinum |
| [02:08.85] |
And his skills has since decreased and the inner hunger ceased |
| [02:11.71] |
Now content,just as long as fame and cash come |
| [02:14.57] |
He's a big willie now, rappin' 'bout cars |
| [02:17.42] |
Thousand dollar shoppin' sprees,hangin' out with stars |
| [02:20.83] |
I mean just a year ago, he was broke |
| [02:23.35] |
Bummin' money,drinkin' out the 40 bottle,livin' outdoors |
| [02:26.87] |
Don't let money change ya |

Second L.P,my rap changes fast |
| [02:54.47] |
Here today,gone tomorrow,now his label passed |
| [02:57.44] |
Now the new poster boy with the hip now sound |
| [03:00.35] |
Second time around everything isn't stable as |
| [03:03.50] |
It once was, now he's lookin' for the same hit |
| [03:06.58] |
But his sound is played,he forget to change wit |
| [03:09.78] |
Them old hit rhymes, no one feelin' him |
| [03:11.69] |
His rhymes ain't appealin' anymore |
| [03:13.22] |
And his records ain't sellin' shit |
| [03:15.98] |
Now he's dropped from his label and he's goin' broke |
| [03:18.48] |
Tried the underground return Ghetto pass revoked |
| [03:21.64] |
And the same faces that he dissed,On his way, to the top |
| [03:25.05] |
Laughed as they watched him do the downstroke |
| [03:27.76] |
Now the moral of the story is that some go |
| [03:30.78] |
Why would money make the inner vision crumble? |
| [03:33.94] |
So if you're blessed with the talent,Utilize it to the fullest |
| [03:37.30] |
Be true to yourself and stay humble |
