Rags to Riches

Lyrics

[Intro: Andre (Lisa)] A quick story from rags to riches (Rags to riches) Comin' to you from Supernova AKA Left Eye (Mhmm) Give it to 'em, give it to 'em, give it to 'em (Yeah) haha I'm goin', I'm goin' (Love sucks) From rags to riches ha ha ha ha (Never gon' wild out) I'm goin', I'm goin' (Cause I can take it y'all!) From rags to riches ha ha ha ha Come on, kick it off! [Verse 1: Left Eye (Andre)] 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 haha 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, uh 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 So I fell up in the streets Did anything for cash And anything to crash in anybody's path Gave everything I had Look at what I could grab (What was that?) check it And it was just a bunch of rags [Chorus: Andre and Left Eye] I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) I bet you I'mma be the richest I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (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 (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) I bet you I'mma be the richest I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (From rags to riches) I bet you I'mma be the richest [Verse 2: Andre] 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 Bar downstairs for 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 Marble floors stayin' clean 600 green outside Showin' them the many ways that God provides in life I hope you 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 [Chorus: Andre and Left Eye] I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) I bet you I'mma be the richest I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (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 (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) I bet you I'mma be the richest I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (From rags to riches) I bet you I'mma be the richest (Uh) [Verse 3: Left Eye] I remember sellin' coke Can't believe that I was poisonin' my folk And 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, stood but walked away Like I was absolutely positively sure I could Attitude on fuck it Two dollars in the bucket And schemin' steady dreamin' For a chance to make some duckets Caused a little ruckus on the sideline Fully reconstructed, every guideline From the alley way to Cali, on the Grammy day Went from disarray to mayday, mayday, mayday Ran away from the sickness with the quickness And went from rags to riches [Chorus: Andre and Left Eye] I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) (What?) I bet you I'mma be the richest (Come on) I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches (This why I be in riches) I'm goin' from rags (From rags to riches) I bet you I'mma be the richest (The Hill) I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) I bet you I'mma be the richest I'm goin' from rags to riches From rags to riches I'm goin' from rags (From rags to riches) I bet you I'mma be the richest [Outro: Andre] I'm lovin' everybody that's tryin' to get it From rags to riches (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) From nuttin' to somethin' ha ha right (From rags to riches) You know what I'm sayin' Nuttin' but a quick story from rags to riches (I'm goin' I'm goin'!) To all my mournin' ghetto superstars out there Much love! (From rags to riches) I'm backin' everybody, East coast, West coast, 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...
