[00:00.41]They say this is a big  rich town
[00:05.24]I just come from the poor West part
[00:09.41]Bright lights  city life  I gotta make it
[00:11.63]This is where it goes down
[00:15.63]I just happen to come up hard
[00:19.60]Legal or illegal  baby  I gotta make it
[00:21.75]I never took a straight path nowhere
[00:22.96]
[00:23.84]Life's full of twist and turns
[00:25.19]Bumps and bruises  I lived  I learned
[00:27.17]I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers
[00:29.14]
[00:30.16]It's hard to get a start in
[00:31.48]These parts without paper
[00:32.59]Homie  I grew up in hell
[00:33.97]A block away from heaven
[00:34.79]
[00:35.30]That corner every 15 minutes it move a seven
[00:38.09]Pure snow  bag it then watch it go
[00:40.49]Occupational options  guess
[00:41.75]I'm blowing some hoes
[00:43.02]Shoot the bullet  the strap
[00:44.44]Learn to rap or to jack
[00:45.58]F**k it  man
[00:46.41]In the mean time go ahead and pump a pack
[00:48.16]This my regal royal flow
[00:49.43]My James Bond bounce
[00:50.70]That 007  that 62 on my count
[00:53.37]I'm a undercover liar  I lie under the covers
[00:55.91]Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her ''baby
[00:58.18]I love it''
[00:58.69]You're my inspiration  you're my motivation
[01:01.12]You're the reason that
[01:02.28]I'm moving with no hesitation
[01:03.37]They say this is a big  rich town

[01:07.73]I just come from the poor West part
[01:11.87]Bright lights  city life  I gotta make it
[01:14.04]This is where it goes down
[01:18.26]I just happen to come up hard
[01:22.15]Legal or illegal  baby  I gotta make it
[01:24.39]I gotta hustle through the hustle
[01:25.99]And bust while I make a move
[01:27.36]Manuever around the rats and wolves
[01:28.84]I'm from the school
[01:30.28]Of hard knocks  shots pop  bodies drop
[01:32.63]Graveyard  pick a block
[01:33.83]Cause niggas want your spots
[01:35.56]I'm trying to stack shit then I go legit
[01:38.24]Hollow tip  stuff 'em in a clip case niggas trip
[01:41.01]My cocaine endeavours give me corporate ties
[01:43.40]I'm supposed to lose
[01:44.43]Watch me win against the odds
[01:46.05]All I got is my word
[01:47.22]Balls and my instinct
[01:48.19]I'm trying to make it
[01:49.25]We already made it my friends think
[01:51.13]We already on top  I got a bigger plan
[01:53.86]No more controlled substances or hand to hand
[01:56.51]White collar visions  game changing mission
[01:58.97]Big risks  big wins  equal bigger living
[02:01.60]Perfect position  watch me transition
[02:04.25]From caterpillar to butterfly in the sky
[02:05.88]They say this is a big  rich town
[02:08.67]
[02:10.45]I just come from the poor West part
