| [Mack 10] | |
| This song is dedicated | |
| to all the up and coming rappers, singers, hustlers, actors | |
| Whatever you may be remember: | |
| without no struggle, you get no progress | |
| So keep grindin, keep on mashin, get yours | |
| Chorus: Gerald Levert | |
| You're nothin far from comin up (keep on) | |
| Money's just a touch away (keep on) | |
| So keep on grindin don't give it up (keep on) | |
| There'll always be another day (keep on) | |
| [Mack 10] | |
| And now I'm sittin at the pad, teary eyed and depressed | |
| Starvin and sufferin from mental stress | |
| Now a true center to the game of beginner | |
| but hard to feel like a winner when you eat spreads for dinner | |
| Hit the streets late night in the form of star mushin | |
| On the 211 mission just to pay tuition | |
| For my kids I got to grind and develop street saavy | |
| Servin stress cause I just ain't got enough to cop cavi | |
| But I can't stop, I won't stop, til I got it made | |
| Either build my clientele, get a job or learn a trade | |
| like hip-hop, and make enough to live good forever | |
| So I learned to write the rhymes and get my metaphors together | |
| Then I joined a rap crew, with the homies on my street | |
| Sellin underground tapes out the local swap meet | |
| Gettin tighter on the mic, as I worked day to day | |
| So now I lay down at night, and I hear voices say, 'Mack' | |
| Chorus | |
| [Mack 10] | |
| Now I'm new to the scene, H as in Hard, N as in Nympho | |
| So like EPMD, could you _Please Listen to My Demo?_ | |
| I left the local crew, felt like I was the man | |
| In popular demand and now ready for SoundScan | |
| So I searched for a deal with no luck I kept rappin | |
| Felt like it would take a miracle to make it all happen | |
| Marble said it was a test, 'Mack don't do nuttin wrong! | |
| Just have faith in God and keep your hustle goin strong | |
| Stay hongry, keep writin, don't quit you're too close | |
| Remember good things come to those who want it most' | |
| So I never left the house, without my rap book | |
| Thought I found a new crew but eventually got shook | |
| First they said I was cool, but then started to doubt me | |
| Put me on the backburner and just forgot all about me | |
| Partna said I wasn't fresh, and sent me on my way, but you know what? | |
| As I was leavin, I could hear voices say, 'Mack' | |
| Chorus | |
| [Mack 10] | |
| Now the tables turned, but I remember they used to clown me | |
| The hard work paid off, and luck finally found me | |
| So call every publication, Billboard and the editor | |
| and tell em Mack's being signed by dude workin on _The Predator_ | |
| I got the Midas touch, now everything be the bomb | |
| Hooked up with The Don, now made a few mill-ion | |
| I don't bang I write the good rhymes, you know about mines | |
| Man I'm the tightest MC, Ice Cube ever signed | |
| Now if ain't the radio, it's a video shoot | |
| Livin life in the limelight, with a bank full of loot | |
| Now my crew is solid, shook the haters and the leeches | |
| Runnin full court at my house with our girls on the beaches | |
| Plus the violence is ceased, no more bi-coastal beef | |
| Cause now I get down with the North South and the East | |
| I reminisce on hard times, seem like yesterday, but now | |
| Hoo Bangin' is official and I remember they used to say, 'Mack' | |
| Chorus | |
| [Levert] Money's just a touch, just a simple touch | |
| Money's just a touch away.. | |
| Money's just a touch, just a simple touch | |
| Money's just a touch away.. | |
| [Mack 10] Man I knew I was gonna make it, but they didn't believe me | |
| YaknowhatI'msayin? Clowned me -- gon' be a rapper, what? | |
| Hahahaha |
