Oh, I dont know how we made it.Crack.Verse 1[Fat Joe]YoIt was all a dream, couldnt save Big and PacRight in broad day watch the fiends bodies dropAnd at night you gotta turn your TV volume upCuz the cop sirens blast up and down my blockShit aint been the same is what you hear on my blockBunch of old school gangstas telling tales on my blockCame home tatted tears in a plan to get paidPut it in a box said a prayer and it cameWhat can make you smile and be the thing to bring you painIs what my daddy told my momma going through her labor painsIs what my momma told me as the cops took me awayEazy-E said fuck'em, ya i feel the same wayAnother dead body, its another homicideBut n*ggas tryna kill us that why we call this, dark sideThe streets is, ruthless even sold to my own bloodNo love just a youngin tryna blow up.Chorus[R. Kelly]So tell me how did we, how did we, how did we get hereFrom the middle of no where, from up out these streets we made it yaSo tell me how did we, how did we, how did we get herefrom the middle of no where ya, somebody tell me, how?Verse 2[Fat Joe]Me and my *ggaz takin pictures how i freeze timeLil n*ggaz doin shit we cant rewind, know what im sayin?Shit is real fuck what yall thought,Too many n*ggaz gettin killed on the ball courtThey was chasing hoop dreams and we was busting sawed offsAnd if your shoes gleamed, i would take them all offExtend my organization the crib swarming with agentsMoms cryin, we based it like lions in cagesMob giants turn it some clients with casesSome n*ggaz made statements, some n*ggaz made payments damnWhat part of the game is that, I mean to hustle all my lifeBut i do love rap, they got my knees straightedput the battery to my back,this is around the same time Calderon got clappedHe told me put my life in music, Joey go for your dreamsyou can do it look at Finesse it aint as hard as it seemsChorus[R Kelly]Verse 3[Fat Joe]Aint this nice im bigger than lifeIn a jacuzzi smoking a Cohiba but this aint a movieBefore i wasn't attractive now i pack the house with groupiesRubbing shoulders with actors just imagine how would you beRocking the latest fashion this is Juicy, all over again2010 its like Biggies living through meChance has changed my route and now the papers greaterTryna see me on that block i'll see you haters laterSo high, defy gravity n*igga fuck ya style imma galaxySo out of space they cant grab at me, feds aint having meIm all legit, my bankroll much thicker blame it all on the hitsI started off with bricks, now i own officesWho would of thought i got all this from talking slickWe went from day-breakers to tax payers, it was once all a dreamNow the labels pay us.Chorus[R. Kelly]I was supposed to be dead, I was in them streets real badDreams of houses in the hills, I was hustling just to make it realBut now I came up and I'm number one, Yall know the story mo money mo problems, In these streets live or die, and I lived but i dont know why?Chorus Until Fade Out.
