[00:04.444][Verse 1: TOTEM]
[00:24.194]They try and look me in the eyes and tell me
[00:27.201]There ain't no prize to be won, no, no
[00:36.199]No, I've been fighting for the top, I'm ready
[00:39.448]All I know is I want it all, all
[00:42.201]
[00:44.199][Verse 2: Russ]
[00:48.204]Yeah, it's time to pack
[00:50.201]Luggage full of dreams with the tags still intact
[00:53.196]But the plastic's still wrapped, I haven't opened it
[00:55.946]With my feet up on a top floor screaming "Jesus"
[00:59.199]But I want more, it's all good, though
[01:02.705]This feel like that blow a pound with my dawgs on my Suge flow
[01:05.954]They love me in the hood, so
[01:07.951]Shout out Macivan spreading CD's round the discount mall like a virus
[01:11.703]Bosses choking, hope your employees know how to do the Heimlich
[01:14.698]Left the bullshit way behind like Kirk Hinrich
[01:16.949]I'm the first of my kind, ain't no doubt about it
[01:19.944]Slightly schizophrenic, I'm in the studio with myself
[01:22.952]There's still a crowd around
[01:24.196]Think I finally found the youth, it's in the truth
[01:26.703]Since 50 rocked the vest, I had the juices
[01:30.198]With my feet up on a top floor screaming “Jesus”
[01:33.704]But I want more
[01:34.203]
[01:34.702][Hook: Russ]
[01:36.200]I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out
[01:41.946]Who you are is what you do, not what you say
[01:45.698]I bring the bang out, bang out
[01:47.948]Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo)
[01:53.950]Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay)
[01:56.204]
[01:57.944][Verse 3: Paulina]
[01:59.454]I made a promise to myself in '99
[02:01.950]Not to shoot for the sky would've been my biggest crime
[02:05.203]Sifted through my teens, growing now, I got a dream going
[02:08.198]People said you sick for believing so I sneezed on 'em
[02:11.447]Spent the rest nights focused on the lights
[02:14.200]Aim for the stars, cock back, open flight
[02:16.696]Then I got caught, hot fingerprints on the shotgun
[02:20.203]List of success suspects and I'm the top one
[02:23.951]You could see me live, getting swifted
[02:26.205]You could call my momma, if you ask, she'd admit that
[02:29.201]Climbing from the bottom got grit and the fools take hits
[02:32.450]But the shooter in the pit cause she fit
[02:34.946]So please don't pity me, you see me holding keys
[02:38.198]I always like to tease, won't be the bitch to appease
[02:41.705]Soon the hoes come running and the checks start coming
[02:44.700]But I'm in it for the height, not the summit (aye)
[02:45.700]
[02:46.452][Hook: Russ]
[02:47.953]I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out
[02:53.951]Who you are is what you do, not what you say
[02:57.703]I bring the bang out, bang out
[03:00.453]Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo)
[03:05.957]Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay)
[03:08.951]
[03:09.696][Outro: Paulina]
[03:11.705]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:14.455]I was gonna shine
[03:17.450]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:20.446]I was gonna shine
[03:23.457]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:26.448]I was gonna shine
[03:29.700]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:32.696]I was gonna shine
[03:35.449]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:37.954]That I'd get real big, open up a few minds
[03:41.452]I made a promise to myself in '99
[03:44.701]I was gonna shine
