99 (feat. Paulina & Totem)

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 fightin' 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 screamin', "Jesus"

But I want more, it's all good though

This feel like that blow a pound with my dawgs on my shug floor

They love me in the hood so

Shoutout my carbons, spreadin' CDs round the discount mall like a virus

Boss is chokin', hope your employees know how to do the Heimlich

Left the bullshit way behind like Kirk Heinrich

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 it

Think I finally found the youth, it's in the truth

Since 50 rocked the vest, I hide the Jews

With my feet up on the top floor screamin', "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

Ooh, I'm poppin', ooh, I'm poppin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, I'm poppin', ooh, I'm poppin'

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ay

I made a promise to myself in 99

Not to shoot for the sky would've been my biggest crime

Sifted through my teens, growin', now I got a dream goin'

People said you sick for believin', 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, gettin' swift, bae

You could call my mama, if you ask, she'd admit that

Comin' 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 holdin' keys

I always like the G's, won't beat a bitch to appease

Soon the hoes come runnin' and the checks start comin'

But I'm in it for the height, not the summit, aite?

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

Ooh, I'm poppin', ooh, I'm poppin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, I'm poppin', ooh, I'm poppin'

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ay

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
