Y'all wake up
chorus
who's that donning the armani pearls?
me-the black sheep of the herd
who's that sittin' on top of the world?
me-at the head of the heap
who's that givin' y'all the wake-up call?
me-and y'all slept too late
one for the money and two for the show
boom-sha-lak-lak-boom
yeah that's me
some said we would make it
and some people just hate it
and though it took so long for radio to play our song
i dedicate this one to you and you and you
chorus
hold up
wait a minute
bring the beat back cuz i'm not finished
yeah, yeah…
here's a little somethin' that needs to be heard yo
i was on the mic check
(one, two.. word)
chillin' all alone
no one to be wit
just lookin' for some honeys to be on my tip
????????????? *
slip a sucka emcee's head through the rim
you can't see what i can see
cuz it's all about the capital m to the e
close your eyes and take a ride with me
chorus
did you feel me, babe?
in the days when i didn't have nothin' babe
could you tell that one day i'd be someone baby
be on tv, and still stay the same old me yes me yes me
chorus
hold up
wait a minute
bring the beat back cuz i'm not finished
chorus
close your eyes and take a ride with me
