| [00:24.194] | They try and look me in the eyes and tell me |
| [00:27.201] | There ain't no prize to be won, no, no |
| [00:36.199] | No, I've been fighting for the top, I'm ready |
| [00:39.448] | All I know is I want it all, all |
| [00:42.201] | |
| [00:44.199][Verse 2: Russ] | |
| [00:48.204] | Yeah, it's time to pack |
| [00:50.201] | Luggage full of dreams with the tags still intact |
| [00:53.196] | But the plastic's still wrapped, I haven't opened it |
| [00:55.946] | With my feet up on a top floor screaming "Jesus" |
| [00:59.199] | But I want more, it's all good, though |
| [01:02.705] | This feel like that blow a pound with my dawgs on my Suge flow |
| [01:05.954] | They love me in the hood, so |
| [01:07.951] | Shout out Macivan spreading CD's round the discount mall like a virus |
| [01:11.703] | Bosses choking, hope your employees know how to do the Heimlich |
| [01:14.698] | Left the bullshit way behind like Kirk Hinrich |
| [01:16.949] | I'm the first of my kind, ain't no doubt about it |
| [01:19.944] | Slightly schizophrenic, I'm in the studio with myself |
| [01:22.952] | There's still a crowd around |
| [01:24.196] | Think I finally found the youth, it's in the truth |
| [01:26.703] | Since 50 rocked the vest, I had the juices |
| [01:30.198] | With my feet up on a top floor screaming “Jesus” |
| [01:33.704] | But I want more |
| [01:34.203] | |
| [01:34.702][Hook: Russ] | |
| [01:36.200] | I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out |
| [01:41.946] | Who you are is what you do, not what you say |
| [01:45.698] | I bring the bang out, bang out |
| [01:47.948] | Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo) |
| [01:53.950] | Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay) |
| [01:56.204] | |
| [01:57.944][Verse 3: Paulina] | |
| [01:59.454] | I made a promise to myself in '99 |
| [02:01.950] | Not to shoot for the sky would've been my biggest crime |
| [02:05.203] | Sifted through my teens, growing now, I got a dream going |
| [02:08.198] | People said you sick for believing so I sneezed on 'em |
| [02:11.447] | Spent the rest nights focused on the lights |
| [02:14.200] | Aim for the stars, cock back, open flight |
| [02:16.696] | Then I got caught, hot fingerprints on the shotgun |
| [02:20.203] | List of success suspects and I'm the top one |
| [02:23.951] | You could see me live, getting swifted |
| [02:26.205] | You could call my momma, if you ask, she'd admit that |
| [02:29.201] | Climbing from the bottom got grit and the fools take hits |
| [02:32.450] | But the shooter in the pit cause she fit |
| [02:34.946] | So please don't pity me, you see me holding keys |
| [02:38.198] | I always like to tease, won't be the bitch to appease |
| [02:41.705] | Soon the hoes come running and the checks start coming |
| [02:44.700] | But I'm in it for the height, not the summit (aye) |
| [02:45.700] | |
| [02:46.452][Hook: Russ] | |
| [02:47.953] | I won't stop until I hear the world scream my name out, name out |
| [02:53.951] | Who you are is what you do, not what you say |
| [02:57.703] | I bring the bang out, bang out |
| [03:00.453] | Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Ooo) |
| [03:05.957] | Oooo, I'm popping, oooo, I'm popping (Aaa aay) |
| [03:08.951] | |
