Lyrics

[Intro]

Uh, this is what I sound like after five years

You back, kid

Now why do I feel I still got the flow?

You back, kid, Bad Boy for real, let's go

[Verse 1]

Before '99, I was born again

Five years later and I'm on again

Man, I think I'm born to win

Me broke? That's a oxymoron

Forget a bus, I bought a drop to tour on

G-4 is what I soar on, uh

You thinkin' I ain't hot, you so wrong

Sorry for the prolong, but now life goes on

Long list of hits and it goes on

I wake up, and I don't even feel like a star

And man, I'm gettin' a million a bar

Indeed, I need not take no lie

Man, y'all gon' make me cry

It's kinda eerie when you hear me, your hair stand up

Been a change of plan, rip your old plan up

Instead of hatin', help me lift the big man up

As we proceed

[Chorus]

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

[Verse 2]

Some days I make thousands, some days I make millions

Spend my day chillin', coupes with suede ceilings

Everybody out there wanna know what Ma$e got

Way hot, gray drop Maybach, gray yacht

And that's just the way it be

Favor, people wanna pay for me

When I'm in Mr. Chows, they waive the fee

And I don't chase money, man, money chase me

I give my wife things that she dream and more

I give a little bit, and she fiend for more

I'm back like Moses to bring the law

Brand new Saint Ma$e in mean velour

I had bling before you ever seen the tour

Fans from Iran to Singapore

And grown men beg me to bring them on tour

Even if it mean they gotta sleep on the floor

Let's go

[Chorus]

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

[Verse 3]

I used to be the guy, stood next to Diddy

Crucified for bringin' sex in the city

Even though the girls think I'm extra pretty

How I know? I ain't got no extra with me, oh

With a fist-tight flow, with a wrist like whoa

What if this might blow? Ain't no "if I", no

I'm the man that planned a way

This ain't my life, I don't plan to stay

Put up a good fight like it's Mandalay

Hate the game, but it made a man of me

Gone for a while, it's like I ran away

God time now, and I don't plan to play

I'm only here for the one thing you lack

To make DJ scratch, "Is he, is he back?"

Kids in the hood stutter, "It's a, it's a fact"

It's the kid resurrected, it's a, it's a wrap

As we proceed to give you what you need

[Chorus]

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

[Chorus]

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Awake these people up

And show them they keep dreamin'

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it go
