Rags To Riches

 Lisa

 (Supernova)

 

 A quick story from rags to riches

 Comin' to you from Supernova (AKA Left Eye)

 Give it to 'em, give it to 'em, give it to 'em (ha ha)

 

 I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches (ha ha ha ha)

 I'm goin', I'm goin' from rags to riches (ha ha ha ha)

 

 I started off as an army brat (Atten-hut!)

 Seven months old class act

 I was racing down the block

 As a matter of fact

 I could've been a track star (I guess I am)

 I stacked bars

 Comin' through your system in them phat cars (uh)

 Cross country isn't that far

 It's like I'm in the race, don't know who you cats are

 See one day I fell from grace, landed in this place

 My innocence erased from talkin' back to my momma's face

 Like I was lost in space

 Without a trace, cuttin' class, bein' Mrs. Fast Ass

 Gettin' blasted with my dad, got caught up in the flash

 My Nana goin' straight mad, had to make the dash

 Saw a fella through the streets

 Who would give anything for cash

 And anything to crash in anybody's path

 If everything I had

 Look at what I could grab (check it)

 And it was just a bunch of niggas

 

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 

 Ding ding the bell ring, landlord causin' a scene

 Mama diggin' for her green, last dolla (dolla bill)

 To pay for the phone bill, electric bill, water bill

 How you feel when you make a mill?

 And move your mama to a house on the hill

 With picture framed TV's on the wall

 Hard and I'm pissed when she wanna ball

 A cell phone for when she wanna call

 She ballin' out of control

 With her own bank roll, I got her back though

 One for the money and two for the show

 Mama floors stayin' clean 600 green outside

 Showin' them the many ways that God provides in life

 Or who can see the bigger picture

 And tell a story from goin' dead broke to gettin' richer

 Knowin' I'm gettin' with you in this paper chase

 Rags to riches all up in your face

 

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 

 I remember sellin' weed

 Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk

 Now I let my throat be the antidote

 Always kept my hopes high

 Now mama don't cry, 'cause I'll be close by

 With the most high I was playin' Robin Hood (in the hood)

 Little Red Riding Hood

 Til' the barrel pointed where I stood (yeah, I stood)

 But walked away like I was absolutely positively sure I could

 Attitude on drugs

 A few dollars in the bucket

 And scheming steady dreaming

 For a chance to make some duckets

 Caused a little ruckus on the sideline

 From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day

 Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday

 Ran away from the sickness with a quickness

 And went from rags to riches

 

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 From rags to riches

 I'm goin' from rags to riches

 I bet you I'mma be the richest

 

 I'm lovin' everybody that's tryin' to get it from rags to riches

 From nuttin' to somethin' (ha ha right)

 You know what I'm sayin'

 I'm nuttin' but a quickie story from rags to riches

 To all my mournin' ghetto superstars out there

 Much love!

 I'm backin' everybody, East coast, West coast, the Midwest

 Everything you know what I'm sayin', it's all hip hop

 Much love!

 

 We all came from rags and went to riches

 And the ones that's still messin' with them rags

 You know what I'm sayin'

 Keep your head up (know what I'm sayin')

 Somethin' bound to happen

 For sure though...
